isiting Angels Arlington,Texas is a locally owned, trusted resource for senior home care services. Visiting Angels provides non-medical home care to seniors and the disabled in Arlington, Burleson, Kennedale, Mansfield, Pantego and throughout Southern Tarrant County. Julie Amendola, owner/director of the Arlington Visiting Angels franchise, says the experienced home caregivers from Visiting Angels are adept at helping your loved one feel at ease while receiving senior care. “All of the agency’s Angel companions have prior experience working with elderly clients,” she says. “Visiting Angels chooses providers who are compassionate and who have a strong desire to treat their clients with dignity and respect.” Studies have shown that seniors thrive more when living in their own home as opposed to living in a nursing center. Along with excellent senior home care, Visiting Angels helps eliminate the stress and worry family members experience over the care of their elderly loved ones. Seniors are also comforted and feel at ease knowing that a Visiting Angels caregiver will be there to assist any time, day or night without changing their routines. “Each of our Angel companions has been through our rigourous screening process prior to joining our agency,” Amendola says. “We complete background and criminal history checks, past employment verification, and look for experience working with the elderly and disabled in a home environment.” Services provided by Visiting Angels include: hourly care, 24/7 multiple-shift care, live-in care, temporary and long-term care, and weekend and holiday care – all at an affordable hourly rate. Types of service include: “Activities of Daily Living” (ADL), custodial care, assistance in dressing, bathing/showering, medication reminders, hospice support, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, shopping, walks, doctor visits, companionship, respite for family caregivers and hygiene assistance.

r. Jackilyn Dang started Great Oak Dental in spring 2013 and added a second practice, Legacy Park Dental, nearly two years ago. Dr. Dang and her staff provide the utmost care in blending compassion and expertise as part of each patient’s treatment plan. During a patient’s first visit to either office, the staff always begins with a full and comprehensive exam. They will go over current medical history, existing dental restorations, and the patient’s current periodontal health. From there, they customize a treatment plan that the patient understands and feels comfortable with. “It’s important for our patients to be fully educated about their dental options, and we never want our patients to feel rushed or to be afraid to ask questions,” Dr. Dang says. Dr. Dang, who has practiced dentistry for just shy of a decade, says she and the entire staff are dedicated to a professional philosophy that puts the patient first. “We take the time to educate and inform our patients about Dr. Jackilyn Dang their financial options and procedures so they can make the best decision possible for themselves,” she says. Great Oak Dental and Legacy Park Dental are known for the compassionate care provided by the entire staff, as well as for their use of cutting-edge technology. Dr. Dang recently began offering MTM® Clear•Aligner, which is a virtually undetectable way to align a smile without traditional braces. The surprisingly affordable Clear Aligner uses clear, removable aligners to correct slight misalignments (such as crowding or gaps). Each aligner is customfabricated, per the treatment plan arranged between the patient and Dr. Dang, to progressively advance teeth into their ideal position, leaving patients with a beautiful smile. The practices also provide other services, such as implants, braces, veneers and bonding, laser dentistry, crowns and bridges, partials and dentures, and general dentistry. Dr. Dang says both Great Oak Dental and Legacy Park Dental are currently accepting new patients.
