Just seemed like a good time to remind us all that in every family, discord can happen but the bond that a family should cherish and protect should always unite, not divide. May we all remember that as we deal with changes in our country.

A 2025 study in the journal "Nutrients" concluded that snacking on mixed nuts instead of higher-carb goodies can reduce your appetite and cravings for sweet stuff!!! (Source: Better Homes and Gardens - "In the know" section).

So--how do you keep up with these things? You arrange to have "your people" keep an eye out for healthy tips like these. What--you don't have "people?" Well--you better call Visiting Angels at 408 846-2988 because when you work with one of our Home Care Aide Angels - you get your own people. You get the caregiver and their support team! (and of course, the caregiver can make life easier for you, helping with activities of daily living, meal prep, light housekeeping, doing errands, taking you to appointments, exercising with you, etc. Now how can you not choose to have that AND "the people?" Call now! 408 846-2988.

What's your favorite comfort food on a chilly day?

You've heard it before--exercise is good for you. There are studies that conclude that usually, it takes 7 exposures to a message for that message to be truly received so we wanted to share the same message, supported by a different study.

At Visiting Angels, we have had the pleasure of seeing what movement can do--from clients claiming they sleep better to clients who say they actually feel better. But of course--circulation is better and when you exercise, your body works better.

Did you know that at least in California (not sure if this is true for all states) - when a Physical Therapist leaves you exercise instructions, your caregiver can help you continue them? And by the way, those who continue the exercises do show encouraging results. (I cannot say enough about how great physical therapy has been for our clients).

If you do not have PT instructions, your "visiting Angel" can just go for a walk with you, or do simple exercises. Can't walk any more? There are chair exercises that are very helpful. There are many ways you can reintroduce movement to your day--even if you are bed-ridden, actually. And the great thing is--our Angels would gladly help you do them!

If you need someone to get you going, give us a call at Visiting Angels for an exploratory chat! (408 846-2988). And by the way, not only can our Home Care Aide help you introduce movement to your day, he/she can help with personal care, light housekeeping, take you to your appointments, do errands with or without you, and be a great companion to you!

Veteran in San Juan Bautista is assisted by Visiting Angels 24X7.
After his heroic years in the military, he continued to be in public
service--this veteran definitely deserves a Home Care Aide to help with activities of daily living, to continue to have quality of life.
Visiting Angels is looking for experienced caregivers for nights and weekends.
11PM to 7AM shifts on Sat and on Sun (we would prefer 1 person took this on).
Sat: 3-11 PM shift (if you take this and want more hours, we can build up to the hours you need).
This case requires experience especially with transferring. (Electric hoyer lift on the way = we will train you!). Experience must have prepared you to provide personal care. This is not just a companionship role. This vet has overcome a lot - not just in the military but with physical challenges he now must deal with. Your patience and understanding is critical. Your experience is essential to minimize pain as he transfers or tries to function. Still mentally able to make decisions, his ability to communicate his needs is helpful. The shifts require that you stay alert during the shift because he will need to be changed a few times during the night shift. (because nightfall can sometimes cause your eyes to droop, there is a monitor so you will hear him call for you).
Must be qualified to register with the State (or already registered), have a legal right to work in the US, speak, read and write clearly in English, and be able to drive his car if necessary. (If you are interested in working on other cases with Visiting Angels
and receive hours aside from this, we do require that you be able to drive and do errands for clients). He deserves compassion, understanding and patience...and these values will remind you of your kind gesture - helping a veteran!
Immediate openings - we have caregivers who need to be moved to different shifts (for school reasons). CALL 408 846-2988 between 8AM and 4PM Mon to Fri or TEXT 831 245-7273 if you want us to call you outside of office hours.

Our veterans deserve our unending gratitude. Visiting Angels has been working closely with the Veterans Affairs to help our veterans and if you are an experienced caregiver, you have a chance to do so as well!

We have a veteran in San Juan Bautista who we are honored to serve. We are needed 24X7 and we have two shifts that are available for an Angel on earth!

Saturdays 3PM to 11PM
Sundays 7AM to 3PM

This is an ongoing assignment and we prefer to fill this with the same person since he already has multiple caregivers.

Minimum two year' experience as a caregiver (not just companionship) plus your ability to work with someone who is wheel-chaired and needs assistance with transferring is a must. (We are waiting on a hoyer lift). NO lifting but you do need good techniques to make sure you can help without injury to you or the client. Good verbal and written English communication and comprehension, along with the ability to follow instructions and implement them required.

Home Care Aide registration with the State of California is a must. (this means no felony or state-forgivable misdemeanor). Must be able to drive the client's car. You will be required to provide proof of legal right to work in the USA will be required at orientation.

To be an Angel, you must have compassion, empathy and a lot of patience. Your ability to work with the client's care team is a must.

If you feel the call to give back to a veteran and can take both shifts, please call us immediately. 408 846-2988. IF you cannot
call between 8AM and 4PM, please text 831 245-7273 and let
us know when you can chat and you will get a call then!

There are caregivers and there are visiting ANGELS...our veteran in San Juan Bautista has an opportunity - does it belong to you???
