Three Generation Family

"Gail is very cheerful and very compassionate with my mother. She has been helpful to me in understanding more about Alzheimer’s and practical things I can do to make mom’s life more comfortable."
L. R., Minneapolis

Our “angel” truly cares about my grand-mother’s welfare. She understands her specific needs very well, without being told. She is gentle, cheerful, practical, efficient, and effective. She stays on top of any physical problems in order to keep us up to speed. When grandmother had to move her only request and concern was whether she would get to keep Margaret. I consider her invaluable to the efforts to keep grandmother out of a nursing home."
P. K., Andover

"Peggy always knows what to do in terms of keeping my home clean and is very generous."
A. R., Oakdale

"Mary truly lives up to your organization’s name—she is an angel. She cares greatly about the people and my mother is not easy to care for. Thank you for all your help."
P. O., Roseville

"Shannon is always on time–even at 6:45 a.m. to take Phil to dialysis. She has become a trusting friend and we thank you for sending her to us."
L. H., North St Paul

"I wish to personally thank you, and especially your wonder staff. [Our angel] made us feel like she was one of the family. Joy was so compassionate, so tender, so loving with Dad. We would come into the room unannounced in the middle of the night to find her singing to him, applying moisture to his lips, or some other wonderful thing."
W. W., Maplewood

 


"Rhona has been a true blessing to our family. My grandparents consider her to be a true friend. She brightens their week and is always thoughtful. . . . When I am out of town over a weekend, they will frequently attend church together which my grandparents love! I have to say, Rhona goes out of her way in every way to brighten their lives. I don’t know what we’d do without her!"
T. S., Lino Lakes

"Lenore is very good and cheerful. She makes an excellent breakfast! She also gets our evening meal ready for us so that all we have to do is heat it up. She is also very willing to go to the store for us."
W. K., North Oaks

Friendship with Visiting Angels

"Peggy is extremely considerate and very personable. She treats me like a friend instead of a thing."
M. L., Oakdale

"We are most pleased in every way."
A. M., Centerville

"Paula is really good at this job and has done everything right. I have never found anything to complain about. I feel very lucky to have her help."
D. A., Marine on Saint Croix

"Mary takes care of Penny like she would her own mother! She truly is concerned about her well being."
A. F., Maplewood

"I have been referring my residents to Visiting Angels for several years. I have been very happy with the customer service I am given every time I call whether it’s day or night. Visiting Angels truly cares about my residents and it shows in everything they do.  . . . After working with many homecare agencies over the last 10 years, I feel strongly that Visiting Angels is one of the best agencies out there!"
C. H., Bayport

 

Visiting Angels lending help at home

"I like her enthusiasm and positive approach on things. She is patient with my father. She always tries to think of fun things or places for him to go that he might relate to somehow. What a difference she has made for him."
B. L., Falcon Heights

"Lynn is getting my mother to do things she’s never done before: write letters, make long distance calls, and more!"
E. B., St. Paul

"Dori was always cheerful and “jollied up” Lyle. Her experience and professionalism kept Lyle and his extended family confident and positive. She kept him interested and conversant, and was a good listener. She is a wonderfully pleasant person, and truly deserves a halo!"
M. G., Centerville

"My wife does not often respond favorably to visitors due to her present condition. But as the two “Angels” appear, she lights up a rare smile which lasts while the ladies are present. Such is the effect on her by the nature of their approach and gentle care. By their efforts, my care load has been reduced to a level that is manageable. We both eagerly look forward to their return each time."
A. G., Stillwater

"I would like to thank you for the service Visiting Angels provided to my father  and to the family. I think it was often more important to me than to Dad that someone be there to assist him. The past six months have been extremely difficult for my family. Being able to rely upon your caregivers helped enormously. On behalf of all of us, a thank you."
L.V., St. Paul
