The founder of Visiting Angels was working at a nursing home before he opened his own senior care center. He listened to elders and realized that they needed a more caregiving and compassionate environment than the one they were getting. Visiting Angels introduced an alternative to caregiving services that allows seniors to keep their independence and remain in their homes.
Visiting Angels provides constant live-in, temporary and long-term non-medical care services that are valuable for seniors and their families alike. An individualized schedule is designed to meet customers’ needs and preferences. Experienced caregivers provide companionship, personal and home care including meal preparation, light housekeeping, hygiene assistance and medical reminders. Visiting Angels builds strong meaningful relationships with seniors and their families which is the main key to its success.
Building strong internal relationships is essential for the company as well. Franchisees receive ongoing support. Visiting Angels Operations Directors are available at any time for consultation and individual meetings. Franchisees meet each other at regional group support meetings, monthly webinars, and annual conferences. A Visiting Angels e-Community social network allows them to connect with other franchisees at all times. In addition, they receive daily information, weekly messages and newsletters. They have access to a Q&A online Library and Extranet website where they can find answers to their questions.
Visiting Angels benefits from word-of-mouth promotion, but it also uses more dependable marketing tools. Franchisees advance from one of the most extensive advertising campaigns in the senior care industry. Millions of potential clients are reached through all media channels from TV, to radio, to the Internet.
Visiting Angels started franchising in 1998; all 445 centers are owned by franchisees. Almost all units are located in the USA.
Visiting Angels is one of the largest and fastest growing franchises in the USA in the senior care industry. It offers competent caregiving services at affordable price. Visiting Angels helps hundreds of thousands of people while still giving them the freedom to keep their independence and live at home.
