The carer/companion that comes once a week for 2 hours is excellent. She sits with my husband who has Alzheimer's, and they chat for 2 hours. Very good for his cognitive health.

The overall service is good, but get fed up with different carers coming in some we do not know. The carers that do come on a regular basis are very good and helpful, but when they are away or their weekend off some carers are really not good. Can I please have regular carers plus 2 in reserve that
we know. My husband has parkinsons and dementia so its vital he has the right carer.

Apart from one carer who I don't have anymore, the care I'm receiving is excellent. They treat me with respect, talk to me at all times and treat me with dignity. The carers are also prepared to wait for me especially at lunch time to try and do some marching while I'm on the sit-to-stand aid.

No-one can get on with everyone, that's life, but I am delighted that we were able to find the right Angels for you. Your comments are lovely and we will pass them onto the Angels.

This is our first month of care being in place and we couldn't be happier. Mum is already at ease with her Angel who took the time to understand Mum rare brain condition before starting. Finding someone to look after a loved one is a daunting and stressful prospect but Visiting Angels made it easy,
acting with care and compassion and a lot less stressful than I feared. Matching an Angel carefully to the client meant the relationship fell into place instantly.

We are delighted that we have got the right Angel matched to your Mum's special care needs and providing the compassion that the relationship needed. Thank you.

Have been using Visiting Angels for Mum for about 6 months. I can honestly say that Mum views her Angel as a friend now. Her Angel has never let her down, turns up each week as expected, and helps Mum with whatever is asked of her and even goes the extra mile to help and make suggestions that can benefit
Mum. Completely trustworthy and caring.

Reply from Ian Lintott, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Cambridgeshire

What a lovely review. I am delighted that Mum sees her Angel as a friend, that is a true testament of the level of relationship that she has developed. We will pass on your kind thoughts to the Angel.

Visiting Angels have been helping us with my Mother-in-law for 6 months now & we are very happy with the service provided. The Angels who visit are all caring, friendly & very patient. Nothing is too much trouble & they have developed a good rapport with my Mother-in-law. The lighthearted & cheerful
approach of all the Angels works well with my Mother-in-law who has Alzheimer's.
The app works well as we are able to see who is visiting & how the visits have gone. The overall service is invaluable & provides us with peace of mind. I would have no hesitation in recommending Visiting Angels.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service, we are so delighted that your Mother-in-law is happy with our Angels, and that they have developed a good relationship. These reviews inspire us to try harder, and continue to deliver Quality at Home Care.

I have had Visiting Angels for my mum for a few years now, and have always found them to be caring, friendly and very helpful. I am always updated with information as to Mum's care. The carers go above and beyond with all that they do for her. And so I rate them 5 gold stars.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Visiting Angels were fantastic with my mum's care, they took time to tend to her needs, never leaving if she was being difficult, like previous care companies would, they would spend the time and speak to her and support her every need. The office was also fantastic in calling and updating with any
urgent issues or liaising directly with the doctors if needed. Mum looked forward to their visits and they always went above and beyond.
The app to update daily care provided was invaluable, as we could check instantly how her care visit had been. Regular visits to review care needs were held and after trying four other care companies previously, Visiting Angels performed way above the rest. I would highly recommend to all.

My Visiting Angel has been with me for almost a year and from the start, she has been exemplary. We get on very well; she is courteous, kind, efficient and reliable. I can always depend on her to cheer me up and she has made my life so much easier.
In the last two months, we have been joined by another
Angel. She has settled in extremely well and they make and excellent team. I feel very lucky to have them. Management has always been really helpful and responsive to any concerns I may have.

Two Visiting Angels have been looking after my mother who is in her 80's and lives alone with many medical problems. They have both been extremely kind and caring, giving my mum all the support she needs mentally and physically. They are full of helpful practical suggestions, fun and jokes, as well
as being really good listeners. Their presence makes it possible for me to leave my mum and continue with my own job; and for my mum to live her life in her own home knowing she is being looked after. I can't imagine my life or my mum's without them!

My Mother is 92 and lives in St Neots, I contacted The Angels over 2 years ago, and they always send the same Angels who my Mum likes, they have 'never' let us down, and they are always on time.
They help with showering my Mum, taking her out in her wheelchair around the shops and they stock up on
essentials, doing her washing, and taking away from me a lot of worry. I highly recommend them.

Top-notch. Anticipates my every need. Always cheerful and extremely helpful. And a real dab hand at ironing! Always reliable and extremely good at doing the washing and changing beds. Does all the messy stuff like cleaning out the fire, getting in the coal, and logs. Can even Sew. One extremely important
thing for me is that the main carer is always there for me and there is no last-minute swapping or other carers.

I moved my mother's homecare to Visiting Angels 6 months ago. The difference it has made to her health, her moods and the cleanliness of her flat has been significant, in fact amazing. Visiting Angels have allowed me to be my mother's daughter again and not her carer. Thank you to everyone who visits
my mother, you light up her day with your care, personality and uplifting approach.
