Visiting Angels Of Bux-Mont Cuts Ribbon On New Quakertown Office

QUAKERTOWN, PA — For nearly 25 years, families throughout Bucks County and eastern Montgomery County have been turning to Visiting Angels in Doylestown for help when it comes to caring for older family members.

To better serve the Upper Bucks and Upper Montco community, Visiting Angels of Bux-Mont cut the ribbon on its new satellite office in Quakertown on Wednesday.

“Many people want to stay in their own home and age in place, and the services we provide are a safe, cost-effective way for them to do that,” says owner Steve Mekanik. "We are excited to have a physical presence in Quakertown in order to provide better services to the community."

Members of the community came out to celebrate the ribbon cutting, including Sheriff Fred Harran, members of the senior care community, board members of Quakertown ALIVE, and representatives from Quakertown Borough, Craig Staats and Brian Fitzpatrick; Brian Fitzpatrick's office even presented Visiting Angels with an American Flag flown over the U.S Capitol.

The company offers a full range of non-medical home health care services — everything from personal hygiene, bathing, and grooming, to light housekeeping, doctors’ visit and companionship.

The benefits of the services provided by Visiting Angels are invaluable. Seniors get to stay at home and maintain their independence, while family members receive the comfort of knowing their loved ones are receiving help from experienced professionals who truly care about seniors’ well being. Visiting Angels can provide care for those with specialized needs, such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease.

23 years have passed since spouses Steve and Jacqueline Mekanik opened Visiting Angels and they have since grown their enterprise into a team of more than 130 qualified caregivers capable of serving more than 110 families throughout the area.

“There are a lot of home healthcare companies out there, so it’s important for people to make sure they are working with organizations that know what they’re doing,” says Steve Mekanik.
