Really, Visiting Angels?…read more Perhaps your name should be "Visiting Corporation Seeking Maximum Profit" When we decided to have an elderly parent move in with us we thought hiring this agency (a franchise) might be a good option. There is a great need for good caregiving services for our elderly and if you are fortunate to have the resources for in-home care you are among the lucky ones. But, as we unfortunately found out, the fancy brochure you get from Visiting Angels has little to do with what happens when you actually hire this outfit. In our case, the promise of "Visiting Angels" was no more than words printed on a page. While the needs for our father were basic, the cost of services provided were not - you pay a premium ($30+/hour) for in-home care, although this seemed lost with our "local Minnesota" franchise. They spent more time complaining about how the people who came into our house were feeling about their care (how the elderly client treated them), than showing concern about what they could do to provide better care for our father. To us, one of the obvious features of being old is that your loss of ability to function makes you at times cranky and stubborn - aspects of aging that would seem so obvious that we thought an agency specializing in elder care would not only be familiar with them, but also be used to training their caregivers to address. Instead, Visiting Angels treated our father's symptoms as if they were meant to be taken personally. However, since some caregivers were completely able to manage his needs without trouble, it was strange when others were sent who took it as a personal insult when it came to our father being cranky about putting on his socks or getting to his appointments. If one caregiver can handle the regular tasks and communication without trouble, why wouldn't the agency work to replicate this with other caregivers via simple training? At what point does paying over $30 hour for services (less than half of which goes to the caregiver) get transferred into training the caregiver vs. directed to the pockets of the owners? Well, the answer is that it stays in their pocket. So, when Visiting Angels told us at the last minute (we were were literally a few days from heading out of town) that there was no way they could cover the shifts already scheduled, we decided to pull the plug and transfer to another agency. At this point, the reality of the loss of a large income source brought out their real character, and Visiting Angels turned into a corporate attack dog. After multiple confirmations that, "we really, really meant it when we said we no longer want your service", Visiting Angels threatened one of the caregivers who wanted to continue working with our father at the new agency that they (the caregiver!) would be "fined" for going to another agency and continuing to work with him (indentured servitude much?). To make it even more clear what they really wanted ($) we were told they would only "release" her if we paid them $10,000. REALLY? When we failed to bend to this crude and outrageous extortion attempt and directed them to cease all further communication with us their response was that the "Visiting Angels corporate attorney" would be in touch. Thankfully, the story ends with justice, as where Visiting Angels feared to tread was where the laws of the United States are clear: remember all those HIPPA forms that doctors offices have you sign dealing with health care privacy? Well, it turns out they specify that it is illegal for information about your personal health care to be shared (including who is doing the care) with other people (including your former agency) without the express written permission of the person receiving the care. Only when the VA corporate attorney was made aware that we understood the law did they back off from their attempt at illegal extortion. From our experience, there is little doubt the "corporate values" of this Visiting Angels franchise are minuscule compared to their lust for profit. Clearly, a name change is in order. As the old line goes, we suggest you let your fingers do the walking. Your elder deserves better - and will find it - with another agency.

When she left the hospital, she was given a year to live by her hospitalist and we had her for that time, and a bit more. Visiting Angels was able to meet her care at every level: transitional care when we brought her home from the hospital, medication management and home nursing visits, care in shifts then live-in help, and finally, assistance with hospice care. At every level they were able to pivot and that enabled our mother to be in her home until the end, which was her dearest wish. The care givers were warm and capable and the nursing staff, her nurse in particular, Matt, went above and beyond every single time in meeting her needs and making her feel comfortable. I can't say enough good things about our time with Visiting Angels.

They lie and tear families apart. The most horrific experience I have ever had! They should be shut down for the horrible, terrible things they did and the lies they made up. Thank God everyone realized and saw what they were doing and my mom is safe and out of there and I see her every single day. They purposely kept me from my mom. They are cruel, heartless, and I wonder how they sleep at night. There are a few nice staff, but most are 2-faced and lie. My mom is no longer being held hostage in their homes. I could give you graphic details and pictures but it's not worth it. They are not worth my time. Thank God everyone saw through the lies and got my mom out safely. Their doctor is worthless and doesn't have a clue how to do his job. Seriously, keep your loved one far away from this company. In the house my mom was in one resident died, then another one died shortly after, then my mom rushed to the ER. I started to fear something fishy was going on. The RN has zero personality and gives you zero confidence in her abilities. I could go on and on but I have said enough. Beware: If you report them to MDH or MAARC, the President will keep you from your family member. I am thankful for Ulissa, Ace, Ann, and Brooklyn. I certainly hope the 4 of you move on to a more reputable company and realize the terrible company you work for. It's a cult-like facility and actually scary. It's an absolute shit show. So glad my mom escaped their cult-like prison safely. They actually told me that Red Robin would be her home permanently. Then they pulled a stunt saying it would be shut down and moved her to the more expensive house to steal her money. The other house never shut down and the other 2 residents my mom lived with still live there. They wanted my mom's money. Thank you to the Guardian and the Ombudsman. You saw their true colors. My mom is free and safe and I get to love on her non-stop. The staff at her new facility are amazing and so understanding and loving. Night and Day Difference! Stay away please!
