About Us
Visiting Angels Black Country South is a home care agency in Oldbury, supporting people in their own homes across Sandwell and the surrounding area. We work with older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability.
Everybody we meet at a first visit says more or less the same thing: they would like to stay where they are. Making that realistic, for as long as it is safe and genuinely the better option, is the whole of our purpose. The work is practical. Help with washing and dressing. Medication managed and recorded carefully. Meals cooked rather than opened. Help to move safely about a house that may no longer suit its occupant. A dependable person turning up in a week that might otherwise be empty. And a real break for families who have been carrying it alone.
We put a great deal of effort into sending the same carers to the same households. That continuity is the mechanism rather than the presentation: a carer who knows somebody notices the meal left untouched, the new bruise, or the confusion that was not there a fortnight ago.
For people living with dementia, familiar faces and an unhurried pace achieve what explanation cannot. For people with a physical disability, we learn the individual's preferred way of being assisted to move.
The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Call us and we will be plain about what we can do.

More about the care at Visiting Angels Black Country South
What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.
Older Person Care
A dependable person turning up in a week that might otherwise be empty is on this agency's own list, alongside washing, dressing and medication managed carefully. For most older people in Sandwell that reliability is the point: the same knock at roughly the same hour, and meals cooked rather than opened. Visiting Angels Black Country South says it puts a great deal of effort into sending the same carers to the same households. Ask how many different carers would actually come in a fortnight, which is the only real test of that claim. Ask how long each call lasts. Ask what can be covered in the evening, since overnight support is a separate arrangement.
Dementia
Sending the same carers to the same households takes a great deal of effort, this agency says, and in dementia it is what everything else depends on. A carer who is recognised does not have to spend the visit being explained to, which is how the half hour gets used for something useful. The agency also says that familiar faces and an unhurried pace achieve what explanation cannot, which is precisely the right way round. Ask what dementia training the carers have completed. Ask how a refused visit is handled, and how the plan is revised as the condition advances.
Physical Disability
Sandwell would assess and may fund a package, and the detail to settle is how long each visit actually lasts. For a physical disability the work is transfers, personal care, and help to move safely about a house that was not designed for it. Ask whether carers are trained on the equipment already in place, and who arranges an occupational therapy review when needs change.
Younger Adults
A real break for families who have been carrying it alone is part of what this agency offers, though an adult under sixty five usually wants something else from it. Support has to fit around work, study and a social life rather than set the shape of the day. Ask whether call times can move with a timetable, and whether a small consistent team can be arranged.
