Discover Visiting Angels
History
Visiting Angels has been providing care across the world for 20 years. Our business has been built on recruiting, training and supporting the very best caregivers and enabling them to deliver premium quality homecare.
We know that our caregivers are brilliant, loving, professional people doing amazing work. Too often homecare workers are under appreciated but at Visiting Angels we put carers at the centre of our business to make sure they can deliver a truly person-centred service to your family.
Over the years Visiting Angels has introduced many innovations. With our Choose your Caregiver initiative we were one of the first home care providers to allow you to choose a caregiver who suits you.
Our Caregiver Rewards programme is another piece of best practice which helps to ensure that once you have built a bond with the carer they should stay with you for the long term.
We have always embraced accountability and been early adopters for compliance legislation in the home care sector.
At Visiting Angels we believe that when we look after the caregivers, they are better able to look after your family. Our current position as one of the UK’s first carer-centric businesses underlines this.
As a carer-centric organisation every conversation in our team starts with the simple question “What does that mean for our caregivers?” What we have learnt that the person looking after your family is the most important consideration for you in deciding who provides your care, so they are for us too.
“I cannot begin to thank you enough for what you did for Mam. The wonderful caregivers that you provided to work with her demonstrated the real meaning of love and caring.”
“Thanks so much for the years of TLC you gave to both Mum and Dad. It gave us peace of mind knowing your “Visiting Angels” were there to care for our parents.”
Mission
From companion care to end of life care our home care services provide vital support. We believe that homecare can be different and we want to make sure that our caregivers, the communities that we operate in and the families that experience our homecare service all understand what drives us.
“To lead the UK care sector as an Employer of Choice by 2030, creating an environment where our carers can care more, clients can live better and families can feel assured.
To redefine the role of carers in society and by so doing deliver a new standard of person centred care.”
Our Values
Family
We know that asking someone give so much of themselves to caring is a big ask. We support our team when they are working and reward them for the joy that they deliver. We laugh together, share stories and listen. Our carers are more than a team, they are more significant, they are much more like family.
Relationships
Relationships take time, friendships don’t happen quickly, care shouldn’t be rushed or irregular. We offer choice of caregiver to the families who we work with. By rewarding the loyalty of our carers and paying them well we hope to ensure that caregiver and client can form a lasting relationship.
Freedom
Quality care should enable freedom. The time to share stories, the support to live as you wish and the help that comes from an unrushed caring professional. Age should not limit life and the right care should adapt to the needs of the client. We want our clients to feel empowered to live.
Nimble
Reacting swiftly to the specific needs of our clients and their families is part of our DNA. Every person will have individual needs and their circumstances are always unique. We always listen, consider and react quickly, tailoring their home care to suit.
“Visiting Angels provided exactly the kind of help I needed with my father. In addition to the care my father received, they took care of a little housework, helped me with our cats, watched over the house when I was out of town, and provided lots of TLC. When I needed a partner, I found one in Visiting Angels.”
‘Thank you so much for all your help with my mother. You and your staff have been wonderful and it was comforting to know that she was in loving hands. The time, patience and attention you and your Angels offered was invaluable and we literally could not have done this without you.”
