Our History

A history of providing

world-class home care

For over 20 years, Visiting Angels has been caring for families around the world. We believe that when caregivers feel valued and supported they can give their very best to the people they care for –


your loved ones.

The values we live by

Visiting Angels has been providing exceptional home care across the world for 20 years. We put our carers at the heart of what we do to make sure they can deliver a truly person-centred service to your family.

Home care
built around people

We know how hard it is to trust someone else with the care of someone you love. That’s why we’ve built our service around people by doing something simple but powerful: putting caregivers first.

We focus on finding extraordinary caregivers – people who are not only
skilled, but genuinely kind-hearted. We train and support them, and just as importantly, we listen to them. That’s helped us create a culture where carers stay longer, and families experience the consistency and connection that truly make a difference.

“Dad’s carer brought joy back into his life. She’s more than support, she’s a friend.”
Claire, daughter of a client

Raising the bar
 for home care in the UK

Over the years, Visiting Angels has introduced many innovations. We were here first to offer a Choose Your Caregiver programme, because we know that the right match matters.

And once that bond is built, our Caregiver Rewards programme helps keep it strong, so the person you welcome into your home stays for the long term.
