Meet The Manager
Farzana Khan is Manager at Visiting Angels East Lancashire.
Throughout her 23-year career in the care sector, Farzana has worked with a range of local care providers. This experience highlighted a critical concern – a lack of adequate support for care staff, who are the backbone of any care company, leading to their ‘carer-centric’ focus. This, together with personal experiences in seeking care for her dad, fuelled Farzana’s passion for establishing a care business with a focus on high-quality, individualised care – steering away from the generic one-size-fits-all approach.
“After my dad suffered a stroke and needed care, he struggled to accept it, and the staff failed to resonate with his cultural needs. That was the turning point when I realised the real need for a care business that addresses personal and cultural requirements. By launching Visiting Angels, my goal is to ensure that everyone in East Lancashire, irrespective of their background, has access to caregiving that is empathetic but also culturally sensitive.”
