"I had the opportunity to engage Angil for assistance with my Mom and her recent end of life care. I am eternally grateful to her, and cannot properly express my thanks.

Her passion, care and dedication to her cause and her clients are unmatched. Everyone on her staff shares her compassion, professionalism and dedication to dignity, care and comfort of the patients they serve.

Should you have a lived one in need of dignified and compassionate care, I would not hesistate for one second to make Visiting Angels your one and only call."

“I first met Ms. Tarach in 2002 when her organization was hired by my father to provide in-home care. Consistent with my father’s desire, our goal was to get him back home with the support he needed so he could live his life as he desired. A large part of this process involved securing care in his home. We were not interested in just any type of homecare. Along with wanting to secure homecare that was reputable and of high quality, we also wanted one with a commitment and demonstrated core competencies to the principles of self-determination and self-directed care. Through a process of researching, recruiting and interviewing potential home care providers, my father selected Ms. Tarach, and Visiting Angels. The support and service provided by and through Angil were exemplary. First, they understood the person-centered planning process involved in the development of my dad’s self-directed care plan. This included considerations across his life domains, such as family, friendships, relationships, personal interests, culture and health care, as key examples. It is noteworthy that given the various health issues my father had, there was a good deal of care coordination required. As a Registered Nurse Ms. Tarach very well understood the critical need for coordinating support and service, in my father’s best interest and care. She went above and beyond, being a major part of an on-going, very successful team that supported and cared for him. Second, Visiting Angels understood the practice of implementing and managing my father’s self-directed care plan as evidenced by the way they carried it out and problem solved issues that came up. Most importantly, my own observations in seeing staff working in the home, private conversations I had with my father regarding how things were working out with his caregiver’s, the service and Ms. Tarach, clearly left me realizing that my father was very satisfied. It was apparent that he was “home” and not in an institutional arrangement, realizing that some people can feel institutionalized in their own home when outside services are involved”.

“I have had the privilege to know Angil for seven years. In that time I have watched her follow her true passion in caring for the elderly. Angil was a component professional in the nursing field prior to starting her home care agency. She opened Visiting Angel’s knowing that her talents and commitment would enhance and improve the lives of many. Angil’s success comes from a genuine love and concern for the elderly. She is a strong advocate for her clients and holds principle and ethics as a corner stone of her agency’s care. I would not hesitate to have Angil’s staff care for any of my family members. Angil is a valued colleague and friend that I would recommend highly.”

“Angil has been one of our best customers for years. Her commitment to her agency and to the people to whom she provides care is clear and powerful. She is very insightful about the homecare industry and is very generous with her knowledge. Angil's outspoken loyalty and generosity have made a tremendous difference in the success of our company.”

“I worked briefly with Angil in 2006-2007 as Marketing Director at Visiting Angels and she was also a client of mine when I sold radio advertising. You will not meet a person with a bigger heart or more love for seniors than Angil. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty many times to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of her clients and she has done a heck of a job starting her own business. Over the next 20 years, the senior healthcare industry will be booming and we are all fortunate people like Angil are leading the charge.”
