About Us

Our Philosophy

We believe that our Seniors deserve the utmost respect and compassion when providing care so we never compromise on providing high quality services to your family. Our company makes a commitment to our clients to provide the very best of care to your loved ones in their home by having dedicated experienced caregivers who are passionate about ensuring that their clients feel that their needs and desires are considered above all else. Our rates are extremely competitive for our area and our industry. In addition, we believe that our caregivers should be well paid and treated with respect. We assume the responsibility of employing caregivers and paying the appropriate taxes so that you only write one check to Visiting Angels. For this reason, we can attract and maintain the best quality caregivers available. At Visiting Angels, our clients will have the opportunity to meet their caregiver(s) prior to start of services. Our Case Managers work diligently to match each client’s personality and interests with a caregiver(s) who has similar personality traits and interests so that a relationship can be established that can prove to be life changing for both client and caregiver!

Our History

On December 1st, 2003, Visiting Angels Of Lubbock began with Chris Faubus, her daughter Tina Woodcock, and long time friend Jodi Duncan with the desire to provide the highest level of in elderly services to senior residents in the Lubbock area.
Through the years Visiting Angels has had many business highlights. The most unexpected was the birthing of the non emergency Transportation Division which allowed us to transport our in home clients to and from their doctor and medical appointments. Eldercare transportation runs around the clock to service any need.

In 2011, the transportation department became its own company because of its exponential growth. Angel Express meets the transportation needs of Seniors in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and all areas in Texas.

Our Founder

Chris Faubus began her career in Lubbock in 1977 working as secretary to the Dean at the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing. In 1982 she started Nursing School and in 1984 became a licensed Registered Nurse. She worked at St. Mary’s, and then went to work at Charter Plains Hospital in an on-call capacity where she rose in the next 14 years to Director of Nursing. When Charter closed she went to work for Highland Hospital as Chief Nursing Officer where she worked for the next two years.

While at Highland Hospital, she felt led to explore areas of need for people who had needs within the home other than medical. A friend of hers found an article about non-medical in home care for the elderly. For the next year she obtained information and on Dec. 15th, 2003, Visiting Angels opened their doors in Lubbock, Texas.

Over the years, Mrs. Faubus has served as the President of the Adult Protective Services Board, board member of Family Counseling Services, and has been an RN consultant providing assessments for long term care insurance companies.

Today the Faubus’ are the proud parents of two children: Tina Faubus Woodcock and Marty Faubus. They have three granddaughters and three grandsons. They are long time residents of Lubbock and are actively involved in their church and community.
