Review from Peter N (Son of Client) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Visiting Angels have provided excellent daily care for Mum for over 2 years.
Needs have changed over this period and have always been carefully and professionally considered by the registered care manager before implementation. Communication with the registered care manager, Supervisors and Carers is very good.
Carers undertake a number of tasks each morning and evening, they do so diligently, effectively and with great care. Mum enjoys the carer's visits and their companionship. Carers are very good with some being truly exceptional - all are part of team Mum!

Would we recommend Visiting Angels? Yes. Have we recommended Visiting Angels, yes.

Overall Experience

Love the family feel to this team. When Mum had a fall when we were abroad on holiday, Visiting Angels couldn't have been kinder and were so fast in their response to our needs. Care staff are so kind, good-humoured and helpful. As her care needs have grown, we were confident to ask them for more help with her independent living. They are great, so glad we found them.

I had lovely Angels, especially one who was my regular carer. She was on the same wavelength and she was very caring. My time with the Angels helped me out and I would love to have them back, they're the people I turn to.

Overall Experience

We have been using Visiting Angels Cambridge/Huntingdon for two years to look after my father who has dementia. They provided daily companionship and care during the week, taking him out to various venues and clubs while he lived with us. Sadly he has had to move into a care home as he needs twenty-four hour care now. Seeing the level of care he gets in the home compared with Visiting Angels we are very glad he was able to enjoy these two years of a more fulfilling life than he has now. The friendship and care the Angels staff gave to him was excellent. Because he had the same carers regularly they knew what he wanted when he couldn't express it in words. I strongly recommend using Visiting Angels.

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, it means so much to us. It was our honour and pleasure to care for your father, and to help support you to keep him at home, and as independent as possible.

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.

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.

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

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.

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.

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.

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.
