DIY HOLIDAY DECORATING
 
"I wanted our street to have the prettiest decorations in the neighborhood, so I strung lit colored balls from house to house, all the way down the block. I did all the electrical wiring myself.

If you'd like further information, just drive down Moorpark Street in North Hollywood. We're the third pile of ashes from the corner."  -- Bob Hope

vets5 Ways to Make Holiday Entertaining Easier  
Some people just seem to be able to throw the best holiday parties and get-togethers, all without stressing. Others...not so much! Check out these 5 tips for those of us who could use a little help and less stress.

Our Gadget Corner features unique products which have extra benefits for the NJ senior care population.*
 
Soup and Sandwich Serving Duo    
Many older people tend to lose their appetites as they age. When presented with a large plate of food, they may be uninterested. Another solution is to present food more frequently throughout the day, and perhaps on smaller serving plates. This soup & sandwich duo is pretty and won't be overwhelming. Visit www.Amazon.com for more information on this product as well as similar items.

 
Star Shower Laser Lights 
Star Shower Laser Lights are a great alternative to traditional holiday lights. A single projector will shower your residence with thousands of red and green lights. No more putting up tangled lights, no more tossing out light strands with burned out bulbs, no more hassle! The projector hides in your landscape and is electric powered. Visit www.GetStarShower.com for additional product details.

 testimonialWe're Delighted to Hear from Families About Our Exceptional Care!

Another 5-Star Review:
"I contacted Visiting Angels because the doctor had said that it's either I get some help at home to take care of my husband, or he had to go to a facility. I spoke with Rudy in the morning, and in the afternoon he was already at my house. He clearly explained everything to us. He was the most clever gentleman I have ever met; he's very kind and caring. He told me that we can use their Angels for as little or as long as we needed them. He matched us with a perfect Angel. Her name was Kate; she was lovely and wonderful. She was willing to do anything, and came right on time. Rudy came to check if everything was OK. The agency was above and beyond. They were courteous and cooperative with us. They wanted to help in any way. I would recommend them highly!" --Mrs. S., Ewing, NJ

soarAppreciating 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...

 

Patience with flowers

Patience Y. has often rearranged her personal schedule to cover a co-worker's shifts for a mutual long-term client. Our client's family was so appreciative that they gave her a lovely flowered plant for Thanksgiving.       

 

Vickie D. has accepted a variety of long-term cases that require her to drive a good distance between cases each day, which isn't ideal. However, she's been positive and cheerful about it, and treats each assignment as though it were the first one of the day.

 

Marie Lynn D. has been with Visiting Angels a long time. She works overnights and happily agrees to work as many hours as our client needs; our client's family is very pleased, as a result.   

 

Thank You, Angels!

"Active" can have a wide range of meanings, and while physical activity--however limited--is encouraged for homebound individuals, staying mentally active is just as (if not more) important, helping to promote both mental and physical well-being.

AboutOurCareAbout Our Care

Visiting 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.
