Visiting Angels is here to help,” said Jeremy Adams, director of marketing. Adams said leadership is focused and takes extra time in choosing staff who will be a good fit for home healthcare. All employees must pass a background check and drug screening. “From there, we are always looking for people with huge hearts. As a matter of fact, that is the main qualification; to have a huge heart for people. Our employees weren’t just looking for jobs; any caregiver can do a job. For our employees, this is more of a calling than a job, and that is why they get to be called Angels,” Adams added.
