Had 2 assigned to me, one to take vitals and the other to exercise me. They were very professional and responsible. They would call me when on route to me and always on time. Error was on administration and how unprofessional they handled situation. Will never recommend it. The two original which was my nurse and therapist are very professional. Adminstration needs work on patient handling.
