About
Background
In the 1980's Jeffrey Johnson was employed as
Director of Social Work in a nursing home in the
Baltimore, Maryland area. He listened as families
of clients often expressed frustration that they
had few alternatives other than to place their
loved ones in the nursing facility. Before long,
Jeffrey resolved to establish his own business to
provide care for homebound senior citizens.
Getting Started
In the summer of 1991, Jeffrey resigned from his
position with the nursing home and started a non-
medical home care agency called "The Senior Care
Group, Inc." in Baltimore. Now in its second
decade, the agency that Jeffrey established has
serviced great numbers of clients and established
an excellent reputation in the Baltimore, MD area.
The Birth of Visiting Angels
In 1998, Jeffrey joined with three other directors
(including 2 with extensive experience operating
their own non-medical home care agencies) to
establish Visiting Angels as a nationwide network
of home care agencies. In just 4 years this goal
has been realized.
Philosophy
The directors of Visiting Angels have always held
the philosophy that they are in business to
provide the best care possible to seniors as well
as others who need in home care while giving total
respect to the care giving staff. It's their
belief that our network of franchised Visiting
Angels home care agencies should have the very
best in training and support so that elderly
clients will receive top quality care wherever the
need exists. That's why Visiting Angels is
"America's Choice In Homecare".
