Meet The Manager
Pooja Patel is Managing Director at Visiting Angels North Hertfordshire.
My grandma holds a special place in my heart, and thinking of her always makes me smile. Growing up in a joint Indian family was incredible with four generations living under one roof, surrounded by love and wisdom. Life threw challenges our way, like losing my father as a child and my mother’s long-term illness. But during those tough times, my grandma became my rock.
We made significant sacrifices for many years to ensure my grandma received the care she deserved. Her passing shifted something within me. I left my job in the pharmaceutical industry, and I found my life’s purpose in providing others with exceptional, consistent care in the comfort of their homes. I want to surround them with their memories, possessions, and pets, helping families reclaim their roles without the burden of caregiving. I’m dedicated to offering the highest level of care, so others can experience the joy of being cared for while remaining in their cherished spaces
