Real Client Stories: Why Families Switched from Visiting Angels to Wolfmates

When ‘Just Enough’ Isn’t Enough

Many families begin their care journey with large national agencies like Visiting Angels. But over time, some realize that what their loved ones really need isn’t just help with daily tasks—it’s life support in the truest sense. Here are three real stories from families who made the switch from Visiting Angels to Wolfmates, and what happened when they did.

Story #1: “We Were Tired of Clock-Watching”

Family: D. Family in Potomac, MD
Old Service: Visiting Angels hourly care (3 hours/day, 5 days/week)
Pain Point: Constant turnover, rigid scheduling, inconsistent care

“My mother loved a few of her aides, but she never knew who was coming on which day. Sometimes it was someone new every week. The hourly billing stressed us out—and if we ran over, we’d get surprise fees. Wolfmates changed everything. Now we have one monthly fee, a consistent care coordinator, and a team that truly knows my mom.”

Why They Chose Wolfmates:
✅ Dedicated team
✅ Transparent monthly pricing
✅ Personal rapport and trust-building

Story #2: “They Helped Us Plan a Funeral—and Book Flights”

Family: H. Family in Clarksville, MD
Old Service: Visiting Angels (weekdays only)
Pain Point: Limited scope of services, no weekend or emergency support

“When my father passed, we needed help not just with Mom’s care, but logistics. Wolfmates booked her airline ticket, helped her pack, escorted her through security, and stayed in contact with us during the flight. I didn’t even know home care companies could do that. Visiting Angels never offered anything close.”

Why They Chose Wolfmates:
✅ Travel and event support
✅ 24/7 concierge availability
✅ Emotional and logistical help during tough times

Story #3: “They Fed the Cat and Fixed the Mailbox”

Client: Mrs. Green, age 81, Chevy Chase, MD
Old Service: Visiting Angels companion care
Pain Point: Task limitations, no household help

“I adore my cat and my home, but I needed help beyond just bathing and meals. I needed someone to pick up my dry cleaning, organize the pantry, wait for the HVAC guy. Wolfmates didn’t blink. They do everything—and they even remembered Fluffy’s birthday.”

Why She Switched:
✅ Pet care support
✅ Light home repairs and vendor management
✅ Emotional companionship without rushing
