Angel Helpers Services the Twin Cities and St Cloud areas. The business was created out of a need to help Gary’s mother-in-law in 2003, and then expanded as a volunteer to other seniors and finally turned into Angel Helpers corporation in 2005 (private pay). The name came from a senior that we helped one late night, said to us “you are a little Angel Helper” and the name Angel Helpers was born. We realized that the majority of seniors prefer to stay in their own homes when given the option. Angel Helpers is there to help make this a reality.
