Overall Experience

I have no hesitation in expressing my great satisfaction with the care I have received from Visiting Angels North Kent. The two carers, provided separately, have had to learn how to apply rubber straps to my legs as preventative care of my varicose problems. In any extra time, they willingly perform household chores.

Reply from Darryl Lahner, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North Kent
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It's always lovely to hear when someone feels genuinely happy with their support.

We'll definitely pass your comments on to the carers. They'll be really pleased to know the effort they put into learning how to apply the straps properly has made...

Overall Experience
I highly recommend visiting angels. My 96 year old Mother in law was looked after for 6 weeks while we were away.
They visited twice a day and carried out all tasks we asked for.
Unfortunately she had a fall but once the carers had been alerted they were there within 10 minutes and took control of the situation in a very professional way.

We will definitely use visiting angels again and feel happy that she is well looked after when we are away.

Reply from Darryl Lahner, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North Kent

Thank you, Christine, for your wonderful review. We really enjoyed visiting and caring for your mum-in-law while you were away. Fortunately, our team happened to be in the neighbourhood when she fell, so it was easy to mobilise them quickly and help her back into her chair. We truly appreciate your...

Overall Experience

I have found Visiting Angels provided excellent care that I needed for my father on a short term contract. They have done everything I asked and more. I have now taken a long term ongoing care contract with them and would recommend them to everyone. They have been very supportive to me when I needed it.

Reply from Darryl Lahner, Managing Director at Visiting Angels North Kent

Thank you, for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear that we could support your dad and you as you care for him. We truly appreciate the faith you have in us to extend his care with us long term. Your kind words will be shared with the whole team, and they will be so proud to know their care made a difference.

Warmest wishes,

The Visiting Angels North Kent Team

Angela Hudson Job Title: Registered Care Manager
Angela Hudson

For Angela, care isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. She began over 30 years ago as a community carer, fitting her work around raising three young children. But what started as a practical choice quickly became a lifelong passion.

Since then, Angela has gone on to lead care teams as a Registered Manager for more than two decades.

Her heart lies in supporting people to live well at home—independently, safely, and in a way that feels right for them. She believes the best care is built on trust, empathy, and truly listening to each individual’s wishes.

Angela also knows that great care starts with great carers. That’s why she works hard to ensure every carer feels included, supported, and valued. When carers feel confident and respected, the difference it makes in someone’s day-to-day life is extraordinary.

Whether you're exploring care for yourself or a loved one, Angela is always happy to chat. Because the right care often begins with the right conversation.

Amy Lahner Job Title: Care Director
Amy Lahner

Amy’s journey into home care began long before she joined Visiting Angels. Trained as a physiotherapist at the University of Witwatersrand, she spent years helping people recover from surgery and manage chronic conditions, supporting them not just physically, but emotionally too.

Running her own physiotherapy practice in Johannesburg, she saw firsthand how deeply personal care can shape someone’s quality of life.

That experience sparked a passion for care that goes beyond the clinic. Amy understands how much it matters to feel safe, respected, and supported at home, especially during vulnerable times. As Care Director at Visiting Angels North Kent, she brings that insight into every decision, making sure care is always tailored, dignified, and rooted in empathy.

Amy believes that great care starts with listening—with truly understanding each person’s story, and shaping support around their unique needs. She’s also a firm believer in the power of a confident, well-supported care team and works closely with carers to ensure they feel valued, empowered, and heard.

With Amy at the heart of our care operations, you can be sure your loved one will receive more than just practical help—they’ll be met with warmth, respect, and a level of care that feels personal.

Darryl Lahner Job Title: Managing Director
Darryl Lahner

After more than two decades as a senior retail banker, Darryl made a bold change—one driven by heart, not habit. What stayed with him throughout his corporate career wasn’t the numbers or the titles, but the people: supporting them, nurturing potential, and building teams rooted in trust and respect.

That people-first mindset now shapes everything he does at Visiting Angels North Kent. As Director, Darryl focuses on building a culture where carers feel empowered, appreciated, and genuinely looked after—because when carers thrive, the people they support do too.

Darryl is inspired by the African philosophy of ubuntu—“I am because we are.” It’s a belief in shared humanity and the strength of community, and it runs through everything from how he leads his team to how Visiting Angels walks alongside each client and family.

For Darryl, care isn’t just about meeting needs—it’s about creating connection, preserving dignity, and making people feel seen. Whether it’s a carer starting their journey or a family seeking reassurance, Darryl is committed to building something better—with you, not just for you.
