Meet The Manager
Shaheer Akhtar is Managing Director at Visiting Angels South Bucks.
Coming from a tight knit community and being surrounded by elderly family members and friends. I have always found myself in the forefront in helping them with daily activities. With a calm and caring nature, I have always known that my satisfaction comes from helping others. Eventually this turned into an ambition with the aim to establish a high-quality home care service to a standard everyone deserves.
With experience in the customer service industry, I have acquired useful knowledge of being able to provide good customer care and dealing with different situations in a pragmatic and resourceful way, thus feeling now is the right time to fulfil my passion.
I want to make a difference, especially with those who suffer dementia and are in need of extensive palliative care as this can definitively take a toll on the individual and the whole family. To lessen the pain and to see a smile… would be the greatest reward for myself.
Each and every one of us deserves the right to be cared for in the comfort of their own home by someone who we can trust and rely upon. We at Visiting Angels, strive to provide that excellent tailored service to all of those needing our care. Our team of highly skilled angels are always on hand to go above and beyond to provide that ‘love, support and empathy’ for you and your family.
We know great home care is priceless, that’s why we support them emotionally, physically and practically to alleviate loneliness and build self-confidence. We treat them with respect and see the person rather than thinking of them as a client with the goal of being considered one of the family.
