Visiting Angels believes in being proactive, worthwhile members of our community. We believe the work we do is central to maintaining healthy communities and central to our mission are our at home caregivers. Without the best, compassionate caregivers, we couldn’t fulfill our mission of providing the best quality senior care in Bloomington, Nashville, Columbus and surrounding Indiana communities. That is why we look after our team members while they care for others. This has earned us the recognition of being the best place to work by our employees as part of the 2016-2017 Caregiver Choice Awards, sponsored by myCNAjobs and Healthcare Research. Visiting Angels of South Central Indiana received a direct service workforce grant from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to invest in its caregivers.
Why You Should Become a Home Care Worker with Visiting Angels South Central Indiana
At home caregivers are definitely the backbone of our business, which is why we put so much of an effort towards hiring only the best caregivers around. All of the caregivers we hire have to undergo a strenuous interviewing process, which includes extensive background and reference checks. However, background and reference checks are not enough. It is particularly important that all of our caregivers have a positive attitude and truly find caregiving to be a fulfilling career choice.
If this sounds like you, know that at Visiting Angels you will find joy and gratification in the work you do when you join our team of at home caregivers. There is nothing quite like looking after others. Human beings are social animals and we crave being part of communities and looking after our elders is a crucial part of that.

- Providing personal care services which often includes assisting seniors with bathing, oral care, grooming, dressing and toileting;
