Melinda and her team have been caring for my father for years. Their compassionate, intuitive care has enabled him to remain in his home where he is happiest. Their kindness and attention to his needs is a godsend. It gives me great peace of mind to know he is with people who take the time to know him and enjoy him. Im so thankful for their wonderful help.

I am proud to be a part of this company! As a caregiver, I've been able to help our clients increase their quality of life, provide respite for their family, and be part of a team of hard working, loving, genuine caretakers. I feel supported by management and staff, as well as given the tools, and resources required to take care of each and every client as if they are family. Recommend highly as a wonderful employer, as well as compassionate, competent, responsible team of carers for any generational family needs!

Melinda and her staff at Visiting You are the most sincere, honest and caring people. They genuinely do care about their clients, not just the elderlies they care for, but for the whole family. They dont miss any details and they consistently go above and beyond. We are truly grateful for all theyve done. We definitely recommend them to everyone in need of home care services.

Visiting You Senior HomeCare provided visiting companions for my father at his Assisted Living facility for the last months of his life. Everyone that came to spend time with Dad was wonderful. He enjoyed their company and it was a huge help to me to have him have that extra bit of care. They were super professional throughout the entire process and I highly recommend them.

Melinda, herself, is an empathetic care giver and gifted person. We met her soon after my mom's cancer diagnosis; we knew my mom would eventually need help. Melinda won over my mom instantly - her instincts and personality were perfect. Melinda is experienced, too - quite knowledgeable about all the facets of senior help and the entire community. Later, once my mom needed considerable (ultimately round-the-clock) companionship and assistance, Melinda's staff really stepped up. She recruits and hires many excellent people, and is understanding of how best to match up the client's needs with the
