"This is a different place than other home health — and we've used 2 others. It feels like a small town: friendly and real."
"Everyone truly cares to make things nice — from the nurses, like Lilly and Naira, who helped me 2 different nights when I called late with issues I needed urgent help with, to the physical therapist who will try various things, including functional electric stimulation, to get my husband — who can barely move after a stroke — back on track. There is the speech therapist who uses VitalStim (a device that gets my husband swallowing so much better than without it). There is Ryan, who is always kind and honest and real. There are no administrative fake voices — just a nurse who teared up when I told her about my husband, and a director who talks to me whenever I need help with anything and makes it happen. I wanted a therapist who uses VitalStim — he got it. I wanted a male physical therapist who wouldn't coddle my husband — we got that too. This really is a good place."
