Visiting Angels was recommended to me by the hospital when we learned my father
had incurable pancreatic cancer. I was somewhat suspect of home health agencies
having had less than satisfying experiences with them in the past. Visiting
Angels was terrific. They not only provided the technical basics of servicing
someone terminal, their staff really cared. It made a profound difference to me
and my Dad during the last few months of his life. Because of their reliability
and caring, I was grateful to be able to live and work somewhat "normally" as
they were at his house daily (and eventually round the clock). I could always be
confident Dad was being taken care of.
I was always reassured to know
that if there was ever a problem or an emergency that they were just a phone
call away. I was most impressed in this day and age of unreturned voice mail
that they ALWAYS got back to me within an hour or two, even on weekends! For
example, we lost electricity during the ice storm of December 2002. We ended up
having to take Dad to a hotel with power - but in another city. Visiting Angels,
despite the ice and the change of location, got their people to the scene within
a day.
When Dad did pass, they sent a
beautiful flower arrangement and all the caregivers (there were three) came to
the funeral services. That meant a lot to me and my family. Visiting Angels is
truly a great service, and I would recommend them to anyone.
