Compassionate Home Care Aide

Visiting Angels West Springfield is a leading in-home care agency in Western Massachusetts that offers homecare services to seniors, veterans, and disabled adults. Michele Anstett started the business in 1999 and operates as Owner, President, and Director for the West Springfield franchise.

Since 1999, the home-care industry has changed dramatically in the Pioneer Valley and Greater Springfield Area. Anstett’s experience growing the business for the past 25 years in an evolving sector makes her uniquely equipped to handle the modern challenges of the industry and successfully direct the business.

Anstett’s franchise was the ninth franchise in the Visiting Angels network, which has since increased in size to over 600 agencies in the US and even more internationally. With her guidance as Owner and President, the franchise has grown to provide over 80,000 hours of care annually, helping seniors to maintain a sense of independence, dignity, and quality of life in their own home setting.

Anstett brings dedication, compassion, experience, and attention to detail to the role – fundamental skills for successful leadership in the ever-evolving home-care industry.

Now, with over two decades of servicing the Hampden County region, Visiting Angels has helped over 4,000 seniors maintain a sense of independence, dignity and quality of life in their own home or assisted care setting. While Visiting Angels has grown since 1999, they continue to build lasting relationships by offering that same, family-like compassionate care and dependability since day one.
