The Visiting Angels Central Lancashire team offers quality, non-medical support from companionship to complex home care for adults. The care they deliver is guided by what you want, and is truly person centred at every step of the way.

The team will give you the opportunity to choose your caregiver, and they will then be the familiar face you see each visit. They provide minimum one-hour visits, which creates the best environment for their carers to really get to know you and your loved ones; their goal is for you to feel like a member of the family is coming to visit.

Visiting Angels have very high standards and employ unique individuals with their focus on character and values. Their caregivers are trained to a high standard through the Angel Academy, and are supported at every step of the way.

The Central Lancashire Team put their Angel caregivers at the focus of everything they do, which, in turn, enables them to provide you with the best care possible.

My mum has now been receiving care from Visiting Angels for 12 months, she enjoys their company and always tells me what they have chatted about, sometimes it's a little sing song on Fridays or completing crosswords. It's also lovely that she can relate to the younger members of a particular staff member's
team. I am so glad I did a bit of research when looking for care, I made the right decision and would recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

Reading this makes me so happy. All of our Angels set out to make a difference with their kind hearts and willing hands, and this kind of feedback means the world to them. It is such a pleasure to visit your Mum as she is always so positive and chatty. As always, please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

I needed to arrange care for my mum who has Alzheimer's and I was recommended Visiting Angels by a friend who had required their services for their mum. I have absolutely no qualms recommending them to anyone who needs them. Not only did my mum receive the care and support that she needed (which changed
as her condition progressed), but they were very supportive of me as her primary carer. They were able to update me about her condition/needs and I was able to call them to discuss any concerns I had about her. I can't thank them enough for the support they provided to us both.

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

I am so glad we were able to support you and your mum. I know our Angels thoroughly enjoyed getting out and about with her, especially to see her enjoy a good cake! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts and to recommend our care. If there is ever anything else we can assist with, please just reach out.

Visiting Angels gave my son much respite care, for a week. He suffers from a life-altering medical condition that can be seriously life-threatening. The manager was very understanding, offering updates and was kind to my son. Providing a trusting/caring environment at home. If anyone reading this needs
respite care, don't hesitate to call them for much-needed care and support. They literately are Visiting Angels.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are so happy to have been able to give you peace of mind whilst away. Supporting your amazing son was a privilege. Thank you for trusting us and please let us know if we can be of any help in the future.

This company is, without doubt, the best we have ever had, they are very respectful of your home and needs and they can't do enough for you. They are all fantastic at their job and are so polite and a lovely team and the office staff are first-class and understanding your requirements and helpful, all
the way with advice and help.
The most important thing is that they care for their clients and make sure that all your needs are met with first-class attitude and real care.
If you are looking for a care company for your family then this care company is the one for you and I cannot recommend highly enough. You'll get quality care and quality time.
Thank you to all staff and carers at Visiting Angels, you are brilliant and my wife and myself are so happy we have you as carers.

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

What an absolutely fantastic review. Thank you so much! We believe care should always be to this standard and I'm sad that you've had to experience anything less in the past.

Cannot recommend highly enough Visiting Angels, they are professional in their approach whilst maintaining a friendly feel to each and every visit. They genuinely care for our dad, prepping his meals, washing and tidying and providing company and chat whilst doing so. We have increased visits as it
gives my sister and I a break and also the comfort to know others are looking out for him.
The staff have made observations and recommendations without prompt we are so grateful to them, always feels like we have extra support whenever needed.
Worth noting, Dad wasn’t keen at all having people in the house he doesn’t know, all it took was the initial meeting of introduction and now he sees them more as friends and looks forward to them coming!

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

What lovely comments! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for us. Your dad is so welcoming and our carers have nothing but kind things to say about him. They enjoy their visits and really do like to suggest the little things for him that make a difference. Please do let us know if there is ever anything else we can help with.

Dad looks forward to seeing his carer every afternoon. They assist him with all the things he can't quite manage now. They are hard working and reliable.
Dad didn't want carers but now accepts the independence they give him to remain at home.

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

It's fantastic to hear that your dad is enjoying his visits. The carer he has always reports back and shows genuine care and concern for him. We really appreciate your comments and, as always, are here if there is anything else we can assist with. Thank you!

Urgent assistance which we needed was provided by Visiting Angels at very short notice. They immediately provided sufficient service to meet those urgent needs but then adjusted their own timetables to meet our overall requirements. Furthermore, Visiting Angels would amend the agreed timescale at our
request to meet other commitments (eg enabling us to attend hospital appointments).
All staff, irrespective of seniority, provided a first-class service in a very professional and friendly manner and would go out of their way to help us whenever possible.
I would recommend this provider to anyone who needed this type of face-to-face service.

We are so happy to hear that we were able to meet your needs. We are very proud of our team and how nimble they are when things need changing.

The care my father-in-law has received has been exceptional. He really enjoys the carers' visits. They are caring and compassionate and have made a difficult time for him and the family a lot easier. The care agency itself is always helpful and flexible when we have needed.
Nothing is too much for
them and they make the day-to-day life for him and his wife more enjoyable. We are so glad we found them.

Reply from Heidi Nursey, Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire

Thank you so much! I can certainly say that our carers love your father-in-law's sense of humour and always feel at ease supporting him. It really does make us happy to know we have made a positive difference and if there is ever anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know.

I have found Visiting Angels to be a company that 'hears' and more importantly listens to and responds to meet the client's needs. My partner is treated professionally with respect and care for his needs. The carers provide kindness and empathy for clients and our main carer is exceptional in her support
levels and the lengths she will go to to ensure his needs, and whenever possible she supports us both fully.

I contacted Visiting Angels when I had an urgent situation. They responded quickly and efficiently to help me. The carers are friendly and professional at all times. They prepare well-presented and appetising food. They deal with washing clothes and the dishwasher, without being asked. They are very
respectful and Mum really enjoys their visits.

Heidi Nursey

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2021

Hello! I’m Heidi and I currently live in Chorley with my husband and three children. I was raised in a family that reached out to help others at every opportunity, whether it be family or friend, or a stranger. I was taught to serve my local community, and this led me to serve as a Police Constable in Preston. Through my role in immediate response, I came to see that people have needs at a unique and individual level. No two situations were the same and it was important to me that everyone was treated with dignity and respect, no matter their situation or background.


I now have an opportunity with Visiting Angels to support people over longer periods of time to really make a difference. I want to see people accessing the right support available to regain, improve, and maintain the best quality of life possible. I feel privileged to be in a position to support families in caring for those that mean the most to them, enabling them to invest in more quality family time.


I love to travel and enjoy an increasing variety of hobbies and sports. With a sense of humour, a passion for doing what is best and a life-long habit of serving in the community, I am eager to assist and support people in whatever way I can. I look forward to hearing from you!

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2024

I have over 30 years of care experience working with older adults in their own homes, and younger people with autism and learning disabilities both in residential settings and within their own homes. I have a level 5 in leadership and management, and this has given me the skills to lead others in giving the highest level of care. Over the past few years, I have become a qualified trainer in health and social care, and I find great joy and fulfilment in passing on skills and knowledge to the next generation of excellent carers.


My passion has always been caring for others, ensuring they receive support that fits them. I love working with people in the community within their own homes and strongly believe that compassion, respect and dignity are the fundamentals in all the care we deliver. It is everyone’s desire to stay in their own home, where they feel comfortable and surrounded by memories. I feel it is my responsibility to enable this and to ensure that the care delivered is done to the highest standards.
