    Pooja Patel  

    Managing Director

    My grandma holds a special place in my heart, and thinking of her always makes me smile. Growing up in a joint Indian family was incredible with four generations living under one roof, surrounded by love and wisdom. Life threw challenges our way, like losing my father as a child and my mother’s long-term illness. But during those tough times, my grandma became my rock.

    I cherished the time spent with my grandma, cooking together, and sharing stories. As years passed, our roles reversed. Seeking additional support, we explored homecare providers but were disappointed by short visits and different carers. We wanted consistent care from familiar faces in our cherished space.

    We made significant sacrifices for many years to ensure my grandma received the care she deserved. Her passing shifted something within me. I left my job in the pharmaceutical industry, and I found my life’s purpose in providing others with exceptional, consistent care in the comfort of their homes. I want to surround them with their memories, possessions, and pets, helping families reclaim their roles without the burden of caregiving. Bringing back the unconditional love and connection of family bonds is my passion. I’m dedicated to offering the highest level of care, so others can experience the joy of being cared for while remaining in their cherished spaces

    Shelley Lowden

    Registered Manager

    I began my career in health care in 2015, starting as a carer and working my way up to my current role as a Registered Manager. My journey into care was unplanned, but it quickly became a role I am deeply passionate about—a decision I have never regretted. I find immense joy in working with people, listening to their stories, and making a positive difference in their lives. Seeing someone smile because of the care and support they receive is incredibly rewarding.

    As a manager, I take pride in nurturing my team of carers, sharing my knowledge, and watching them grow in their roles. Building their skills and confidence is a priority for me, and I value the opportunity to work closely with them. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered.

    Currently, I am working towards completing my Level 5 Diploma, which is helping me to further develop my skills and knowledge. I thoroughly enjoy teaching carers and passing on the experience I have gained over the years, ensuring we all work cohesively to provide the best possible care.

    Throughout my career, I have gained experience in various areas of care, including independent living schemes, care homes, nursing homes, and now domiciliary care. Of these, domiciliary care has become my favorite. I am passionate about enabling people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible, preserving their independence and dignity. This is where I feel I can make the most significant impact, and it remains a source of great fulfillment in my work.

    Laura Platts

    Working across both Care Homes and Domiciliary Care, Laura has helped multiple businesses rapidly increase their intake of clients and staff. Laura uses her expertise in Sales and Marketing, to help businesses achieve their desired growth.

    Bella Hallam  

    Head of Franchising

    Bella’s career in care started at the age of 18 as a Care Giver. Having grown up in the industry she gained extensive experience in care delivery, care management, and business development. At Visiting Angels, Bella specialises in the coaching and development of our Franchisees to establish and develop successful businesses. From very early on in her career, Bella recognised the need for change in the sector and made it her mission to be able to influence that.

    Dan Archer  

    UK CEO 

    Dan’s journey in home care started with a personal experience which wasn’t a positive one. He saw first-hand how damaging irregular and inconsistent care can be. His family struggled to secure a reliable home care service and he came to realise that he had to get involved to try to make a difference, to do home care differently.

    Visiting Angels was launched in the UK because too many home care services pay lip service to the importance of their carers but do not match this with their actions. We don’t just talk about how important the Visiting Angels Family is we have built our business around our caregivers. Our Mission Statement explains our ethos and why we are different.

    Dan’s career has given him experience of some of home care’s leaders in best practice and he has been able to introduce the very best of this into our homecare service.
