About Us

Our Philosophy
Our philosophy of home care is to never compromise on providing high quality services to your family. Our system allows you to afford a top quality caregiver. We keep our overhead low to avoid passing costs to you. In addition, we believe that our caregivers should be well paid and treated with respect. We take the burden of keeping and managing caregivers off our families. You only write one check to Visiting Angels and we will pay employer taxes on your caregiver. For this reason, we can attract and maintain the best quality caregivers available.

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 home care to elderly residents in the Lubbock area.

Through the years Visiting Angels has had many business highlights. The most unexpected was the birthing of the Transportation Division which allowed us to transport our in home clients to and from their doctor and medical appointments.

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

Our Founder
Chris Faubus began her career in Lubbock in 1978 working as secretary to the Dean at the Methodist 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.

Deciding there had to be more to life than the Hospital scene, she started exploring other avenues. A friend of hers found an article about non-medical in home care for the elderly; for the next year she obtained info. And on Dec. 1st, 2003 Visiting Angels opened their doors in Lubbock, Texas.

Operation Golden Rule
Operation Golden Rule targets Seniors in long term care facilities because this population is oftentimes the “overlooked” population. These residents were our soldiers, professionals, farmers, and pillars of their communities and gave sacrificially of themselves to allow all of us the privilege of living and working in a free society.

Our goal is to return that favor.

Visiting Angels sets out barrels at drop off points and has a list of items that these Seniors have specifically requested such as toboggans, gloves, socks, lotions, slippers, etc. The drive lasts several weeks in December so that everyone has a chance to donate these items. After the drive ends these items are divided up and delivered to each nursing home. These Seniors needs and desires are simple but being part in helping to make Christmas come alive for these Seniors in nursing homes is priceless!
