Review from Carolyn C (Daughter of Client) published on 31 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum, Mary has been a client of Visiting Angels since September 2024, with daily morning visits. My Mum has mixed dementia but with VA help, lives independently. The morning visit just gets her day started well with company and prompting for personal hygiene, fresh clothes as well as preparing breakfast
, a sandwich for lunch and a suitable ready meal which she is able to microwave for herself.
Mum has loved all of the visiting carers and always seems to be cheerful , exchanging stories from her life.
Their support has been a life-saver to me and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
Reply from Lisa Footman, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Lytham St Annes
So glad that Mary loves our team of Angels - I can promise you they love visiting her! I'm also glad that you are also benefiting from the care support package, as it is not easy caring for your own…read more

My sister's and I have been very pleased with the support my mum has received from the Visiting Angels. Mum really appreciates their help. Since becoming deaf we know that Mum's care has become even more complicated. I think a particular member of staff should be named a Saint! Mum particularly enjoys
her visits from a particular carer who shares a lot of banter with Mum, while providing extra treats when Mum can't go out. Thank you everyone.

I can not speak highly enough of Visiting Angels. You have made my mother's days full of enjoyment, and I know she looks forward to the carers who are visiting her. They take the time to talk to her.
Mum really enjoys his amazing meals he prepares for her and he has the ability of making everything
around her special and at ease.
It's a great comfort from my point of view, especially with living so far away, to know that the care she is receiving from your staff is superb.

Review from Alan F (Client) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Without doubt I don't think I would have survived if not for the wonderful care and attention during my stay with the carer at Visiting Angels in my home.
Medically with damaged spinal cord injury, losing my wife, fractured hip and horrible depression if not foe my care at home from the carer and the
management team.
If not for her and Visiting Angels I would not be sending this review.
Now I can look forward a future and with the special friendly care I have a few years left.
Thank you all with appreciation.

Review from M S (Son of Client) published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team listened to my description of my mother's needs and have delivered what was required in a thoroughly professional manner. They have succeeded in building a rapport and trust with her, which can be difficult. They have been flexible with curtailing visits when visitors are at the house. The
app has been a useful means to keep informed about the daily visits. The team have suggested changes to the care plan as my mother's needs have varied.

Review from M M (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 14 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the minute the manager came to meet us and my father-in-law, we have received the highest level of care. The angels have been very flexible with our needs, listened to what we want and offered an above and beyond service.
The app enabled us to keep up to date on my father-in-law’s care and was
an extra layer of reassurance. Management were always on the end of the phone or a message. They helped to reduce the risks in my father-in-law’s flat by suggesting safety measures and aids and adaptations. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for home care. The manager even delivered an excellent workshop on dementia which was very informative.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are delighted with these carers. They visit my mother-in-law once daily, ensuring she has taken her medication, preparing meals each day, and generally helping her with her personal needs. She looks forward to her visits and finds the company friendly and reassuring. The feedback on the app is brilliant
for us as we can just access and get details of the visits. They are very accommodating and will help with whatever we ask of them. Overall, she is a lot happier, which, in turn, makes us a lot happier knowing she is so well looked after.
