Overall Experience

I have found my carer to be a great help to me. She is friendly and empathetic, always on time and nothing is too much trouble. I like the fact that my carer does not wear a uniform so it feels more personal when we shop together. She has time to have a cup of tea with me before she leaves, something that adds to the personal touch. I don't feel rushed or that she is in a hurry to leave.

I have given the management an excellent rating as the management worked hard to give me the visiting times I originally requested.

All other ratings remain at an excellent standard, especially the staff who have been remarkably caring as my eldest son is very ill and I have been stressed regarding the situation.

Thank you so much for reviewing our service. We really appreciate the feedback as we share this with our Angels to help us maintain our standards. It is only when we receive feedback on any issues that we can then work to resolve them.

Both my wife and myself find the ladies that visit us very pleasing. They take my wife for small walks and also help her bathe, talk on any subjects and bring sunshine to her and brighten up her life.

We could not wish for any better ladies.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. All the carers go that extra mile for Mum. They're always prompt and on time, never fail to make Mum smile and do whatever is needed to keep her comfortable and happy. We did use a different care company a few months ago, but this one is in a different league. I know Mum is in safe hands. The carers always write notes that I can access, so I can check if she's OK if I'm away. Very happy with this company.

Overall Experience

Visiting Angels has cared for my disabled mum since the end of January. I would just like to say that everyone has been brilliant in looking after my mum's needs. The care given was above and beyond on many occasions, including helping my disabled dad when he needed it and we cannot thank everyone enough. The office staff were great in keeping me informed of any changes or things I needed to know and the carer was wonderfully patient and caring for mum. We would have no doubt in highly recommending Visiting Angels to anyone, as the care you would receive is first class.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, and we are so delighted to have cared for your mother. As a quality home care provider, your kind words give us the inspiration to continue to deliver care to a high standard. We are very proud of our Angels and all that they do.

Review from S C (Husband of Client) published on 18 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Visiting Angels have been quite outstanding as care providers. The organization and arrangements are always clear and reliable, and they always consult in advance about any changes or additions. The main carer (and her deputy) who have been looking after my wife, who has Alzheimer's, have been wonderful. They have established a rapport with her and made providing personal hygiene care as stress-free as possible. They have been attentive to my wife's needs but have also made the visits as enjoyable as possible. She has come to be genuinely attached to the main carer, and the daily burden this has lifted from my shoulders is immense. I could not recommend them more warmly.

Overall Experience
Visiting Angels have made a huge difference to my mother’s quality of life. To have a caring person go in to get her up, showered and dressed every day, has improved her mental well-being hugely.

It was proving very hard to find a care provider who could visit for an hour a day, but Visiting Angels with their caring and considerate staff have really made a really positive change to Mother’s situation and given me peace of mind too. Can’t praise them too much!

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

Wow, this is a wonderful review, and we receive it gratefully. We pass on all comments to our family of Angels, as we believe in reward and recognition. We thank our Angels every day for the work that they do, but to receive a formal review from a client family member really makes quite a difference to our motivation, and we strive to even do better care for even more people.

Review from Miles B (Son of Client) published on 3 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would just like to thank you for helping provide extra cover, at very short notice, for my mother last week, as Covid 19 struck our household. Although everyone is double vaccinated and boosted we didn't want to put Mum under any unnecessary risk and you provided superb support for my eldest daughter. You have made such a difference to our whole family life because as much as we love Mum and would do anything for her, sometimes the stress of trying to do so, is counter productive and independent help and advice from empathetic professional carers is just what all of us need.

Mum finds it hard to communicate and interact these days, but your staff have found novel ways to build a rapport with her and help do the things ladies require, but not necessarily from an only son on a daily basis! I would have no hesitation in recommending Visiting Angels to anyone looking for help.

Review from Malcolm R (Brother of Client) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I contacted Visiting Angels for support for my sister, who was visiting us for 2-weeks. Although it was a short-notice request, the manager was extremely helpful, understanding and was able to provide an appropriate care package for her. The carer who came was like a breath of fresh air and so patient, she really cared, nothing was too much trouble and was soon on friendly terms with us. If it had been possible, my sister would have taken her home with her at the end of her visit. I have no hesitation in recommending Visiting Angels.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review of Visiting Angels. We try to provide Outstanding Quality care no matter how big or small/long or short the care that is required. We look forward to future occasions to provide care support when your sister next visits.

The main carer for my Mum, who suffers from Alzheimer's, goes above and beyond in her duties of care. She is so kind to Mum encouraging her to do various activities and also having Mum teach her too. In the last week, we have had a traumatic time with Mum's dog. Her carer was there at the time and dealt with the situation admirably and with no panic. She is a carer to be treasured.

Thank you for this kind review, this formal recognition is appreciated by us all at Visiting Angels, but particularly for the Angel you refer to here.

The care provided for my Mum from Visiting Angels has been exceptional. The carer's have been instrumental in helping to source additional support for Mum's complex needs. The care has been executed in an empathetic, kind and professional manner at all times. The support and understanding provided to my Dad at such an emotional and difficult time has been so welcome and very much appreciated by all the family.

Review from Andrew H (Son of Client) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I contacted Visiting Angels - Cambridgeshire when looking for support for my mum. From the first contact, my experience has been entirely positive. The managers have been attentive, understanding and extremely helpful in determining an appropriate care package and demonstrated great flexibility when we decided to trial a residential care home option for a few weeks in between support at home from the 'Angels'. The on-site team have been super, caring, professional and very friendly and, after a tricky first couple of weeks when Mum wasn't sure why she needed the 'help'. She now really appreciates their company and support. The discipline of home care visits has certainly made a big difference to her well being and has established a more manageable support platform for the family to work around.

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great review, we are delighted that your mother has settled back into her own home, and our Angels love her company. It is important to receive this formal feedback from you, as it gives recognition to our team of Angels providing care on a daily basis. We will certainly pass on your words and thanks. Best, Ian.

Overall Experience

I was looking for someone to provide care for my mum and decided to contact Visiting Angels towards the end of 2020. A meeting was arranged and a decision made after a couple of days, going over what was suggested to have someone pop in on Mum. A specific carer was suggested and introduced to her, who had similar interests and from the first day, Mother took to her (although sceptical at first). For me, it is peace of mind knowing that someone has seen Mum and interacted with her during the day. There is an app that is completed so you get to see what has been done during the visit, which is a great help to have that information. Overall, I'm very happy with the service given to my mum and the communications, when there have been concerns for my Mum.

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

Thanks, Ian for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We will pass your comments onto our Caregiving Angel, as this is the sort of praise and recognition that teams hope to earn. It is an absolute pleasure to provide care for your mother and I am delighted we have made a great match.

Review from Lisa R (Daughter of Client) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I approached Visiting Angels in the late part of 2020 for much-needed care for my Mother. Putting the right carer in place was essential and I needed someone who could not only provide care but also build a rapport with my Mother (not easy!). The agency recommended a carer (thank you to that person) who was introduced to my Mother and me. I was amazed when my Mother connected straight away. Our carer is fantastic, she truly cares, is patient, communicative and really goes that extra mile. I now feel a huge weight lifted too. I now don't know how my Mother or myself could manage without her. I highly recommend her.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, it makes all the difference for our Angels to know that their care is recognised. We do our best to match our Caregiving Angel to their clients and in this instance, it has worked out so well. It is our pleasure to care for your Mother. Best, Ian.

Overall Experience

We found Visiting Angels to be well-managed and professional. They were thorough and took time to assess our particular and personal situation and requirements. This was not an 'off-the-peg' support package; we were provided with details of their assessment and suggestions for a route forward which we were encouraged to adjust if we felt it appropriate. Throughout, they were caring, willing and adaptable. I have no hesitation in recommending such a supportive and trustworthy company.

I started Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire after being disappointed by several care agencies when trying to find support for my parents in law and finding that the care provided was erratic and inconsistent, which created a great deal of stress and frustration.
