Wonderful company. Excellent communication and thorough understanding of my mother's needs by interviewing her and me. Flexible and kind as well as supremely professional - you'd be hard-pushed to find a better agency anywhere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not be happier with the service I've received from Visiting Angels. I reached out to the company after my grandmother had a number of bad falls due to a urinary infection earlier this year. A carer was able to begin working just a few days later, and I've already seen a vast improvement in my
grandmother's condition. She is healthier and more energetic than I've seen her in years. The carers not only help with any errands she might need, but they truly take the time to get to know her as well, which she appreciates immensely. I am truly grateful for the care they have provided my grandmother, as well as the peace of mind they have given me.
Reply from Vincent Tan, Managing Director at Visiting Angels South East London

Hello, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Visiting Angels! We are thrilled to hear that our care has improved your grandmother's health and well-being.

Dad was diagnosed with double dementia in October 2020. By April 2023 he was entering its advanced stages. I am an only child and was in despair as Dad had so many medical needs by this point. I was - and still am - so impressed by the quality of care provided by Visiting Angels. Their safeguarding
procedures are robust and efficient. It’s staffed by lovely people who care about their clients. Communication is excellent and all staff, from the management to the carers, are creative and innovative in their approach to problem-solving. They took really good care of my dad and I slept better knowing they were on board. Would highly recommend.

Whatever home care support you are looking for, I wholeheartedly recommend Visiting Angels. After a disappointment with another provider, Visiting Angels came to the rescue. Dad needed care at home alongside a live-in carer already in place. After a meeting with the manager, Dad was matched with two
wonderful carers, who were both considerate, kind, hard-working and professional in every aspect of their care. My father (who has since passed), was treated with dignity and placed in very safe hands. As he gradually deteriorated, Visiting Angels immediately responded to the necessary personalised care needed. Nothing was too much trouble - they went beyond the call of duty in every aspect. During such a stressful time, Visiting Angels were extremely supportive and totally understood what was needed. We are so grateful to all the Angels that work for this company. Thank you so much.

Visiting Angels has been looking after my grandmother recently. After a few transitions to different agencies Visiting Angels has definitely provided results. The senior staff really took the effort to ensure her needs were identified and followed through to what has been delivered. They do more than
what we intended them to do, from helping her out with laundry to taking walks around the park, she has really grown to adore her carers who I will say have been the same consistent three carers from the beginning. We are so grateful

I want to say a big thank you to Visiting Angels for looking after my Aunty. They have been so accommodating to her needs. They matched a caregiver to my aunt based on her preferences. My aunt has dementia which means consistency is very important and Visiting Angels has made sure she has had the same
team of carers for my aunt since day dot. I cannot express enough how much they have made a difference. The management has been so responsive and always answer any questions where necessary.

Visiting Angels has been looking after my grandmother for a while now and after our family's disappointment in another provider's service, Visiting Angels has shown to be nothing less than outstanding. The quality of the staff provides results in the care they deliver. They put together a very thorough
care plan which was very personalised to her likes and dislikes on how she would like to receive her care. My grandmother really loves her carers and really are her little Angels. I would also say thank you to the management team which have supported both us and their carers through the process of our care package.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with our home care agency. We are extremely happy to hear your positive feedback and will definitely pass on the message to our Angels. Looking forward to working closely with you to meet your grandmother's needs.

So far, I’ve had an extremely positive experience. The help I’ve received from my home care provider has gone far and beyond what I expected and has taken a lot of the stress away from me and my partner, having just been discharged from hospital and me being unable to do basic things at home. She has
been reliable, upbeat and anticipates what support I need without me even having to ask! It’s really lifted my mood and helped me to see there is light at the end of this recovery tunnel! Thank you so much.

Visiting Angels have recently started looking after my father, they have provided a reliable and carefully picked team of carers that we couldn’t recommend enough. They considered my father's preferences when presenting him with who would be supporting him. The management team have been professional
and approachable from the beginning.
The staff are highly trained and this demonstrates in the work they do.
Thank you Visiting Angels for all the support you have been providing my father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I don’t usually leave reviews but I thought Visiting Angels really deserve to be praised for the amazing work they do for their clients.
From the beginning, the care manager really took into consideration my mum's preferences and skill sets needed to care for her to ensure we were matched with the
perfect caregivers.
The caregivers are always on time and always go above and beyond at every visit.
We always feel listened to when we have made suggestions.
Mum adores her caregivers to the extent that she no longer asks for her own children to visit but instead wants to know when her caregivers will be back again so she can enjoy their company.
Reply from Vincent Tan, Managing Director at Visiting Angels South East London

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is a testament of how we strive to deliver exceptional care and service to our clients. It's great to hear that the care manager took the time to understand your mum's preferences and needs and that the caregivers are punctual and attentive during their visits. The fact that your mum prefers the company of her caregivers over her own children speaks volumes about the quality of care she's receiving.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Visiting Angels is literally what it says, we have Angels visiting my mum every day, and the support they give her is amazing. We were given a team of Angels (caregivers) who visit Mum, and these Angels are her regulars. The team of three Angels rotate throughout the week, and Mum knows who they are
and when they are coming all the time. This was really important for us as my mum can be overwhelmed when there are loads of new faces, but they have been consistent from the start. The Angels dont change, and they always communicate with us if there are any changes prior. The Angels have built an amazing relationship with Mum; they even take her out for walks, to coffee shops and libraries as without support, Mum would not be able to go out, and I and the family, were finding it very difficult to be able to get her out when she wanted.
The management and senior staff are so supportive and really understood what we were looking for. My mum is so grateful for her Angels.

The Angels from Visiting Angels that attend to my mother are amazing. I cannot thank them enough for the support they have given her. The manager was so kind and always helpful whenever I have anything to report. Mum loved her from the first visit which was the assessment. All the staff are very open
about adapting the service to her needs. They have always kept me informed about her mood and what they did for her which is so helpful when there are times when me and my partner can not visit. They also have an app that the family can use to see the notes that the Angels put after each visit so we are always included and informed. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you Visiting Angels.
Reply from Vincent Tan, Managing Director at Visiting Angels South East London

Wow, thank you Lorna for 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's family member really makes quite a difference to our motivation, and we strive to even do better care for even more people.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so impressed by Visiting Angels. From the Angels, to the staff in the office, have been so attentive and always willing to help and go the extra mile. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for care. The processes that they put in place to ensure my grandmother had the best person
looking after her, is what made all the difference, as my grandmother is used to being very independent and really wanted a carer that would still allow her to be, that. They had a caregiver meeting, which allowed my grandmother to meet the carer prior to starting care and I thought that was great. Couldn't ask for a better agency to look after my grandmother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Visiting Angels has provided a consistent team of excellent caregivers to support my dad who has Alzheimer's. The level of support we have received, has been simply outstanding. The care team is extremely supportive and was proactive in recommending changes to the care plan, to support my dad better.
From what I can see, the caregivers are extremely well-trained and very competent in what they do. If anything, the caregivers are more like caring for their own loved ones, rather than just doing a list of tasks on their job and leave. This is definitely a huge change from the care I've seen my dad received from other agencies.
