Meet The Manager
Steve Fewings is Joint Managing Director at Visiting Angels East Dorset.
My career in Customer Service, including a management role for a flagship airline sadly ended with redundancy caused by the pandemic! I went from travelling the world, being surrounded by people, to home-schooling my young son Ted.
During that time, like many people, I had to re-evaluate my future. I am extremely passionate when it comes to caring for people, it seemed the obvious and exciting choice to start a new venture, so myself and my partner, who was an NHS community Physio at the time, decided to set up Visiting Angels in East Dorset and Hampshire.
At Visiting Angels, I am proud to say we are very carer-centric! This means we offer wonderful benefits to our carers ‘our angels’ over and above any other care provider. The effect is high staff retention and a high standard of carer. It is not easy to become an angel! All of that means that our wonderful clients benefit from consistent quality care from an angel who they actually choose themselves.
Welcome to Visiting Angel East Dorset!
We provide quality care at home in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Highcliffe, New Milton out to Lymington and up as far as Fordingbridge, Ringwood, and most of the New Forest.
We became a couple 14 years ago having met at work whilst travelling the world as airline cabin crew. Justyna went on to enjoy a career in the NHS as a community carer and then a Physiotherapist which she continued throughout the pandemic.
We provide exceptional homecare in a range of services:
Companionship & Social Care
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care
Personal Care
Post Hospital Stay Care
Palliative Care
End of Life Care
Respite Care
I continued to fly around the world as a Customer Service Manager until aviation was badly affected by Covid-19. In 2013 we had our wonderful son Ted who is very active and keeps us fit and wears us out as well! In 2021 we moved from Brighton to New Milton, which is a beautiful part of the world. The move proved to be a great decision. Bringing Visiting Angels and our passion for care to the local community makes us feel that we have come home! We are thoroughly enjoying living in Dorset, meeting local people, offering care and support to our wonderful clients throughout this beautiful County and into the New Forest. Thank you for making us feel at home!
