Meet The Manager
Kelly Grange Smith is Registered Manager at Visiting Angels Doncaster & Bassetlaw (Live-in Care).
I have been in the care sector since 2011 and have worked my way up from carer assistant, supervisor, duty manager to Registered Care Manager with Visiting Angels, gaining a huge amount of experience and knowledge in both the private and social care sectors. I am now in the exciting role of Registered Care Manager with Visiting Angels Doncaster and Bassetlaw.
My passion has always been to deliver outstanding care to the clients in my care and to achieve this I lead an experienced team of care professionals to achieve the person centred care that our clients deserve.
I have gained my qualifications in care throughout my career ranging from all N.V.Q. s and I am currently completing my level 5 N.V.Q. in Social and Social Care.
Why do I love supporting people in home care, because I believe everyone should have the choice to stay at home for as long as they can and have the care tailored to their needs and choices.
Welcome to Visiting Angels Doncaster and Bassetlaw. We are a Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated home domiciliary care business that provides the best possible quality tailored care for your loved ones. A business who understands that the needs of home health care can only be met, by having caring quality care givers (Angels) that have time to give respectful, compassionate support to promote independence, confidence and dignity to those they visit in their homes.
Our Angels are the bedrock of our company, we respect and value what they do, because of our company’s care centric values, our Angels stay with us. Therefore, get to know their clients, they have ample time to help, support, listen and understand what your loved ones need, and through this consistent regular contact, confidence can be given to all involved that the care we provide is reliable and safe.
To ensure quality care we hand pick and extensively interview our staff, they are all DBS checked, and have comprehensive face to face training, again this is a unique process, which ensures all staff have the Visiting Angels Care Certificate.
