After three failed attempts to log on, he asked, "Am I spelling this right?: T A P E D U N D E R T H E M O D E M?"

Appreciating Angels Who Soar
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working Angel employees who go beyond the call of duty. Below are reasons our Angels are so special...
Last year, we reported that life by performing the Heimlich maneuver. Once again, this diligent Angel helped keep Mrs. C from choking. Grace O. noticed that our client was looking very pale and was extremely lethargic, so she strongly urged the client's family to take him to the ER. The client is now recuperating in the hospital and will be returning home soon. Thank You, Angels!

About Our CareVisiting Angels is a New Jersey-licensed, non-medical home care company committed to going well beyond the "industry standard" to provide an exceptional level of security, comfort and peace of mind to our clients and their loved ones. Our "Angels", all certified home health professionals, are ready to provide compassionate and dependable assistance with the activities of everyday living to seniors, the disabled, those recovering from surgery and to those who are simply frail. Our services include such simple tasks as light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands and shopping to more personal tasks such as hygiene assistance, bathing, dressing and grooming. Visiting Angels' in-home care helps make it possible for seniors and other adults to continue to live at home and maintain the independence of their daily routines and familiar surroundings, safely. We truly understand how challenging and alien the entire home care selection process can be...and we are experienced in working with families; with loved ones "resistant" to receiving care; and with third-parties payors (such as insurance companies and the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs) to help insure that the best interests of the family and their loved ones are met. Visiting Angels' services help families spend more mutually-rewarding and meaningful time with their loved ones and also helps provide comfort and peace of mind to those who face the challenge of long-distance caregiving.
