12 Worcester Business Journal | Book of Lists 2017 | wbjournal.com S ince 1998, Visiting Angels has been providing Home Care Services to families across the United States. Our Goal is simple: We'll help your loved one continue to live at home and we'll help you find peace of mind. In 2005, Greg, Robert and Sandra Lindstrom founded the Worcester Visiting Angels franchise, which has since become one of the leading providers of private duty home care in the greater Worcester area. Visiting Angels proudly assists elderly and disabled mem- bers of our community in Worcester and surrounding towns and strives to enhance the quality of life for local seniors, while helping them continue to live at home. Home care professionals from Visiting Angels of Worcester have an excellent reputation. Visiting Angels has a knack for finding compassionate caregivers who are skilled at providing practical assistance and companionship. They understand that home care is not just about addressing your physical needs, but meeting emotional ones as well. "Everyone at our agency aims to provide care with dignity and respect for our clients," says President Greg Lindstrom, adding that several caregivers have dedicated many years of service to the agency. For example, Winnie Njuguna and Tina MacGregor have worked at Visiting Angels for 12 and 10 years, respectively. Visiting Angels Home Care incorporates "Activities of Daily Living" into their services. Case managers provide a personal- ized care plan tailored to your needs, because no two people are the same. Certified Nursing Assistants and home health aides provide families with respite care, companionship, per- sonal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping and medica- tion reminders. They also do laundry and run errands. "We are very proud of our reputation as one of the best providers of private duty home care in the greater Worcester area, but it doesn't come without very hard work. This means carefully screening our employees and a 24-hour commitment to constantly communicate with caregivers and clients," says Lindstrom. "I'm also fortunate to have a very strong case man- agement team in the office. Office manager Dara Prunier understands that clients want top quality senior home care services for their loved ones. We realize that when services are needed immediately due to an unexpected change at home, it can be a very difficult and stressful time for families." Although Greg's parents, Sandra and Robert Lindstrom, have stepped back from day-to-day operations in the last few years, their influence is still felt throughout the company. "My mother's case management background at Tri-Valley Elder services and her general management ethos has served us very well over the years. My father's people skills have given me an invaluable foundation on building long-term relationships," says Lindstrom. "As a company, we owe a lot to their loving commitment to provide quality home care. Much of our suc- cess today is a result of applying the lessons I've learned from my parents." Visiting Angels is proud of its 12+ years of service helping seniors in Worcester County remain in their homes and is committed to continuing that tradition. n America's Choice in Home Care Address: 255 Park Avenue, Worcester, MA 01609 Phone: 508-757-4014 Fax: 508-762-9727 Website: visitingangels.com Product or Service: Private duty home care Number of Employees: 75 Head of Company: Greg Lindstrom, President Year Founded: 2005 VISITING ANGELS HOME CARE P H O T O S / C O U R T E S Y A D V E R T I S E M E N T
