What Wolfmates Offers That Visiting Angels Doesn’t

Visiting Angels focuses on task-based care - think meal prep, bathing, light housework. It’s important, necessary work, but often not enough for seniors who want to stay active, connected, and in control.

Wolfmates steps in with a total life management model that includes:

  • Full tech integration and device education

  • Coordinated travel and special event prep

  • High-touch errand assistance and vendor management

  • Holiday support and on-call concierge availability

  • Help with pets, plants, pantry organization…you name it

We don’t just check boxes. We clear calendars.
