The scheduling office folks were easy to talk to and they really seem invested in what they do, very pleasant people. we'd contact them if we needed care for my aunt or anyone else in the family again

A couple of months have now passed since my 98 year old mother passed and I can write about the…read morelast year and days of her life without falling apart. I know I express the sentiments of my entire family when I say that if you are seeking care for your elderly parent ... consider this firm. My mom (Mim) lived alone and independently in the family home until just the last few months of her life. At 97 she "allowed" us to send in a caregiver in the early morning and the late afternoon. We met with several agencies in the area and she immediately chose Touched by Angels ... primarily because during the interview sessions with Pam Parrot, Mim was the person to whom Pam directed her conversations ... not me ... not my sister or brother. We were blessed in that Mim was still "sharp as a tack" so this made it possible ... but so often, family members and agencies will talk over the elderly and make decisions which they feel are best. This was not the case with Pam. The caregivers who were selected to work with Mim were handpicked by Pam who talked enough with Mim to know her interests and hobbies. They quickly became more than just helpers ... they became dear and trusted friends. On the day Mim took a big downturn and it was discovered that her doctor was out of the country, Pam was there helping me make that tough decision to transfer her to the hospital. Then on what was surely the hardest day of my life when the hospital transferred Mim to a nursing home, who showed up for moral support ... Pam Parrot. It's important to note that the weatherman was calling for extreme weather that morning (sleet, snow possible tornadoes). Each of Mim's caregivers visited her and called constantly to check on her well being. All went above and beyond what was written in their job descriptions. I will never forget this and I wholeheartedly offer my recommendation for this firm and the people who work there. They are the Angels when you need them!

I am fairly disappointed with the services I received from Visiting Angels, especially since I read…read moresuch positive reviews before I decided to use their services. I scheduled for caregivers to come on Sept 6, 7, and 8 (2024). My mother has serious health needs and is in need of consistent care. For each of these 3 days, the caregivers were no-shows and canceled their visits. On the 8th, we were informed that the caregiver had to cancel because she was "not feeling well due to her period." This left our family in a very precarious and uncomfortable situation, scrounging to ask other family members to come by and help with feedings and changings. A replacement was finally found for the 8th, but we declined. We had already contacted family, who agreed to take out of their schedule to come and assist us. We need more consistency, given my mother's conditions, and Visiting Angels dropped the ball. It adds another level of stress to an already-stressful situation when caregivers cancel and leave us hanging. They offered no type of compensation for our troubles. We requested that they pay our current invoice ($120) as a creative way to compensate us and make us whole from the 3 canceled visits. The owner said no. We have decided to remain with a second company that we have patronized, One You Love Homecare, for our private homecare needs. They communicate well and are sensitive to our mother's condition. I know things happen and no agency is perfect. However, having cancellations 3 days in a row (and with no form of tangible compensation for the problems we encountered) was disappointing, leaving our family in a serious bind. We wish them the best but felt the need to share our experience.

I live in Washington state and my Dad still lives in Clayton, NC so it was obviously impossible for me to care for him, but doctors said would begin needing nursing care around this time last year as he was rapidly declining. Since then, Mark and his staff have proven to incredibly professional, caring and understanding of my Dad's needs. I sincerely feel that they are personally invested my father's well-being as they do things for him that go above and beyond the call of duty. After retaining their services, I discovered that Dad had amassed an incredible amount of debt since developing the conditions of his disease and that he had been taken advantage of by numerous predatory lenders, to the point that I thought he would have to declare bankruptcy. Mark himself gathered all the bills and found out who he owed and how much and acted as my father's advocate in telling most of them to go to hell and helping him pay off the ones that were reasonable. This guy actually cares about the people he works with and I can't recommend his company enough. I just wish I could give them 6 stars. If you or a loved one have a need for care in the Clayton area, you can find no greater service than Bee At Home. Theirs should be the only number you call.
