Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a fall at home I needed some help during my recovery period and found Visiting Angels. I was initially concerned about needing to ask for help as I am a very independent person but after meeting them I was very impressed with their kindness and care. They helped me to regain my confidence
in looking after myself again and were so kind and it was a real pleasure to see them on the days they came to visit. With their support it relieved my family of the pressure of re arranging the whole of their lives to take care of me and enabled them to feel happy that I was being supported. I would have no hesitation in using them again should the need arise.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services and cannot praise them highly enough.

I have been a client of Visiting Angels since last May to help care for my wife who has Alzheimer's, the continuity of staff, caring nature plus attention to detail have proved second to none. The home manager and director are always making sure all staff go the extra mile to satisfy the person's needs,
important things like picking up prescriptions plus making vital phone calls on behalf of the client.
The special emergency line service actually works as I have found out firsthand, I have nothing but thanks and lots of praise for this company.
Reply from Pooja Patel, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North HertfordshireThank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words.

Following a fall at home, I contracted Visiting Angels on behalf of my mother initially for short-term help allowing me to retrun to work immediately. I was immediately impressed by the care, attention to detail and professionalism of the team, as well as the immediate rapport they all built with my
mother. This was our and her first experience of having carers into the house and their efforts above made this seamless and stress-free for both of us. Although initially this was a short-term placement, soon after my mother had to enter hospital for 6-7 weeks but their care and interest did not reduce during this time, with regular visits to my mother in hopspital for assessment but also for social/personal reasons. I feel this was above and beyond what I had expected, and made me realise how lucky we were to have their support. Following her sudden discharge they re-accommodated to her needs immediately. I wholeheartedly recommend Visiting Angels and their carers.
Reply from Pooja Patel, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North HertfordshireThank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. We're truly honoured to have supported your mother and your family through such an important time.It's wonderful to hear that our carers helped make your first experience with home care a positive one, and that their continued visits and support during your mother's hospital stay made a meaningful difference. Providing consistent, compassionate care-whether at home or in hospital-is something we deeply believe in, and we're so pleased that came through.We're grateful for your trust and your recommendation. It's been a real privilege to be part of your journey!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum and dad have always been very wary about having carers in the home and losing their independence.
Finding visiting angels has been such positive experience for my parents and myself.
The care being provided enables my parents to feel that they are in control and they feel that they have
found new friends rather than carers.
All staff are professional, positive and friendly. They are flexible and able to assist mum and dad on the tasks required on any visit.
I love the app they use, which enables me to keep in touch with what has happened at each visit.
Visiting Angels have given me reassurance and lifted some of the concerns I have regarding my mum and dad living independently.
Reply from Pooja Patel, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North HertfordshireThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're absolutely delighted to hear that your parents have had such a positive experience with Visiting Angels, and that our care has helped them feel supported without compromising their independence.It's wonderful to know they feel they've found new friends in our carers-that's exactly the kind of relationship we strive to build. We're also pleased that the app has helped keep you informed and reassured, especially when supporting loved ones from a distance can be so challenging.Thank you again for your trust and support- it means the world to our team!

The carer is always on time and if for any reason is going to be late, she will contact mum. She is very professional, caring and industrious while she is with mum.
It was a huge step allowing a stranger into her home but the gentle nature of her has put mum's mind at rest. She encourages mum to
do what she can but steps in when needed. In the hour she is there she prepares breakfast, lunch and tea - the latter for mum to pop in microwave or oven later. She makes the bed, washes up and ensures the house looks clean and tidy which is what mum likes! She also helps with her exercises.
The accessibility of the company is excellent and they are always conferring with mum and making sure she is happy.
Reply from Pooja Patel, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North HertfordshireThank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're so pleased to hear how well your mum is getting on with her carer - it's lovely to know that her gentle and professional approach has helped your mum feel comfortable and supported in her own home. Encouraging independence while being ready to lend a hand is exactly the balance we aim for, and we're delighted it's making a difference. We're also really glad to hear you've found our communication and accessibility helpful - your feedback means a lot to the whole team. Thank you again for your kind words and trust in us.

Mum has been a client now for over a year. I feel very comfortable with the care my mum is receiving, it gives me peace of mind to know she is in safe hands. The carers are trustworthy, kind, patient, and encouraging and my mum enjoys having a good laugh with them. They are helping Mum to stay in her
home for as long as possible.

We have been very happy with the care my mother has received since returning from the hospital after a fall. She is 88 and needed her confidence regaining after a shoulder break. The ladies have been great, caring, trustworthy and very supportive of Mum and Dad whilst in their home. We would certainly
use them again if the situation arises.
Reply from Pooja Patel, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North HertfordshireThank you so much for your kind words. It was truly our pleasure to support your mum's recovery journey and see her regain her strength and confidence after her fall. We're honoured to have been part of her rehabilitation and thrilled to see the wonderful progress she's made. Wishing her continued health and happiness!

I had to take my husband (he has had Alzheimer's for over 10 1/2 years) to a clinic for his retinopathy appointment and one member of staff in particular kindly took us and brought us back again. I could not have managed to take my husband to this appointment on my own.

Their name is true to the care they give!
They are amazing angels.
The support and care provided to our family member has made such a significant difference to them. They are able to stay in their own home with familiar surroundings which is so important to a person with dementia.
The management
of their service is first class too. Personal-centred care.
I would recommend them without hesitation.

The Visiting Angels have been helping my elderly parents by cooking their weekend dinners. They have been friendly and reliable and have made delicious food - we always hope there are leftovers! My mother has mild dementia which has been handled with delicacy and care throughout. I couldn’t be happier
and will definitely recommend them to anyone else needing help.
