Home Nursing

Great company!!

I can not say enough about how happy we are with the Visiting Angels. For the past 2 years my dad has been declining with Alzheimer’s. We started off with services 3 times a week 2 hours a day to help my dad out while he has been living alone in a large home by himself. The Angels have helped with everything in that home to keep it running. Laundry, making his bed, dishes, folding clothes, ironing, straightening up, light cleaning, you name it. All while developing friendships with my dad and being there as companions to talk with. He has grown to love them all and always happy to have them around. They take him anywhere he wants to go to get him out of the house, grocery store, pick up medications, doctors appointments, even taking him to his cottage. I have the piece of mind knowing he doesn’t have to drive. They help with getting him dressed, shaved, bathed, he always looks great. We now have them coming 7 days a week, dad will be in an independent living home and I know I could not make this happen unless I brought them along with him. They will be with him 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. It will be a new environment for him, I know I can’t just bring him to a new place without them there. They have become like family. Everyone of these caregivers has been terrific! Going above and beyond the call of duty many times. TRUSTWORTHY! I have had money all over in his house. He can not keep track of money anymore, but I’ve never had to worry about that. There has never been an issue with dishonesty or theft. They are very accommodating! I can’t stress that enough! Anything we need, any changes in schedule, anything we have asked for has been taken care of. They are professional, yet just the nicest people you could hope to be dealing with! They aim to please, and they always do! I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to have a load taken off with their loved ones! From companionship to help around the house. Medication assistance, driving them anywhere. This service has been truly a blessing.

I love being employed in this facility. The staff, management team, and most importantly the residents are great. We always remember that our residents do not live in our work place. We work in their home.

I highly recommend Senior Helpers of Richmond. The caregivers that assisted my Dad took extra care to make things easier for my Dad. The office staff was very pleasant whenever I spoke with them. Rand Hewitt was exceptional to work with. When you are seeking this type of care for your loved one, it is a very stressful time. Rand Hewitt was extremely helpful in getting the care we needed for Dad and always had helpful suggestions whenever a new problem would arise. I consider our family very fortunate to have found this company to provide care for Dad. They are there to help you no matter what time of day or night.

I absolutely love working here. Everyone is so friendly and the residents are all treated like family. Beautiful building also.

Most unprofessional people to work for treats clients like a cash register and employees like dirt to pput it nicely. The only reason I even stayed with this company was BC of my client.

This place is not safe. These people are not intimately in care. I will expose this place if they mistreat my loved one. If you cannot make this place safe and a caring place for our loved ones. And I have a loved one there and I am very concerned. Human beings should not be mistreated or not intimately cared for....

Great company doing great things. They really seem to care about the folks they serve.

I TOTALLY DISAGREE with mik ahern's review. He is judgmental and snide. It sounds like he is young and this is the first "old folks home" he has ever seen. Yes, mik ahern, people grow old and infirm. It is not pretty. But the residents here are not dying. They are living. Yes, their physical and mental abilities are reduced, but the Home is helping them live better lives despite this by offering dozens of activities of all sorts to keep them engaged and active. Forced prayer? Well, for one thing the WCA stands for Women's Christian Association (no longer in existence). mik ahern doesn't realize that the generations that live here grew up with organized religion as part of their daily spirituality. What he finds disgusting (prayer and saying grace at meals) they find familiar, comforting, meaningful. And it is not forced. A resident doesn't have to participate if she doesn't want to. And one doesn't have to be Christian to become a resident of the Home. No doubt by the time you get old (gasp! yes, it WILL happen to you, if you are fortunate), services offered by assisted living facilities will have changed and whatever your generation finds appealing is what will be offered to residents.. Smelly? i visit routinely to see my 75 yr. (oldest) sister who lives here, and do not notice any smell (and my "ancient" nose is still working just fine, thank you). Residents have "accidents," yes, but the staff immediately clean these up and clean up the resident, too. Try doing that yourself for your grandmother, mik ahern. The food is very tasty (I've eaten there) and the cooks work diligently to provide creative, delicious, nutritious meals for the residents. They take into account special dietary needs of the residents, as well. Every staff member I've met is wonderful, dedicated to their work, and the residents receive excellent care and attention. The staff to resident ratio is 40 to 37. That is an exceptionally high ratio in assisted living facilities and means that the residents receive lots of attention and care, compared to the typical assisted living facility. Sure, some staff move on to other jobs. That happens everywhere, in any kind of job. The Home has a volunteer group that raises funds to pay for special activities like local trips and outings for the residents, sponsors an annual picnic for residents and their families or friends, decorates the Home for Christmas, and much more. Local groups participate too. For example, a local gardening group made small, fresh flower bouquets that were left on the doors of each resident on May Day. So, mik ahern, if you live to age 80 or so, prove to be mortal and experience the inevitable decline of one's body, you should be so lucky as to "end up" living in a place like the WCA Home. Tammy Skelly's review says it all, "Quality care at affordable prices."

This place is a great place to work if you love helping others who need help
