Meet The Manager
Heidi Nursey is Managing Director at Visiting Angels Central Lancashire.
I was raised in a family that reached out to help others at every opportunity, whether it be family, or friend, or a stranger. I was taught to serve my local community, and this eventually led me into a career in the Police Force as a Police Constable in Preston. Through my role in immediate response, I came to see that people have needs at a unique and individual level. No two situations were the same and it was important to me that everyone was treated with dignity and respect, no matter their situation or background.
I now have an opportunity with Visiting Angels to deliver home care and support people over longer periods of time, to really make a difference. I want to see people accessing the right support available to regain, improve, and maintain the best quality of life possible. I feel privileged to be able to support families in caring for those that mean the most to them, enabling them to invest in more quality family time.
Welcome to Visiting Angels Central Lancashire! Here at our Chorley office, we offer quality support from companionship to complex home care for adults. The care we deliver is guided by what you want and is truly person centred at every step of the way.
We feel honoured to be in a position to help you and your loved ones to remain in the sanctuary of your own home and live independent, fulfilling lives, just the way you want to. Wherever you live, you will be offered a choice of carers matched to your care needs and also to your interests. We work hard to find caregivers who are local to you so that they are already part of your community. Our minimum one-hour visits create the best environment for our carers to really get to know you and your loved ones and our goal is for you to feel like a member of the family is coming to visit.
