The Benefits of Working with Visiting Angels

If you’re looking to start your career as a professional caregiver, there’s no better place to start than Visiting Angels. We’re a locally owned and operated home care agency providing non-medical assistance to seniors throughout Southwest Colorado. We’re one of the top choices for caregivers because of our top-notch benefits, including paid training, flexible scheduling, little to no commute times, and client compatibility. 

Paid training

Learning new skills is one of the most nerve-wracking parts of starting a new career. It can be stressful because you may not know what skills you’ll need or where to learn them. Plus, some companies expect you to learn everything you need to learn on your own time without compensation. 

That’s not the case with Visiting Angels. When we hire you as a caregiver, we provide paid training to help you learn all the skills needed to care for your clients successfully. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable and qualified to help your clients with home care tasks like light housekeeping, medication reminders, personal grooming, mobility, meal preparation, toileting, showering, and more. 

Little to no commute

A perk of working with a locally owned and operated home care agency like Visiting Angels is we work with seniors within our community. That means any clients we assign to our caregivers are short drives, so there are no long commutes to and from clients. 

We also do our best to match caregivers with clients close to their homes, and we consider any distance preferences from our caregivers. Caregivers are also not working with multiple clients simultaneously, so you won’t have to worry about driving all over town during your shift. 

Compatible clients

Clients and caregivers love working with Visiting Angels because we take the time to match our seniors with caregivers who are not only qualified to assist them but have similar personality traits and interests for a solid foundation for a strong relationship. 

The relationship between a client and caregiver is critical to the overall caregiving experience. We want our clients to feel like they’re welcoming a friend into their home. And we want our caregivers to enjoy spending time with their clients. That’s why we assess each client and caregiver to ensure we match pairs that will get along and look forward to the time they spend together. Plus, research finds that the closeness between caregivers and clients may even reduce the decline of Alzheimer’s.

Flexible scheduling 

We understand the importance of having a work/life balance, and part of the balance is having a flexible work schedule that fits your personal life. When we hire you as a professional caregiver, we ask about your preferred work hours, whether that’s part-time hours late at night or full-time hours starting early in the morning. Once we have your schedule, we’ll find a client requesting care within your timeframe so you don’t have to juggle your personal life with work.
