Compassion:
Angels has 25 years experience in looking after the elderly in hospitals, old age homes, retirement villages and in their own homes. Angels therefore understands that the primary 'medication' for healing the elderly is compassion.

Health maintenance:
The most important care for the elderly is maintaining their equilibrium. Through regular blood pressure checks, heart rate monitoring, exercise (where possible) and constant contact with patients Angels ensures reduced risk of extreme health failure.

Medication:
With an extensive knowledge of geriatric medication for most situations Angels is well equipped to manage both the medication itself as well as monitor the effects of the medication.

General Hygiene:
Angels is familiar with the handling techniques of the elderly in showers and baths ensuring a high level of safety. Where necessary bed baths are professionally done and monitoring of bedsores through regular pressure care reduces the risk of unnecessary ulcers.
