About Advance Specialty Care North, INC.

Services offered in the home include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services and home health aide visits. The agency is privately owned.

Medicare has not yet published a quality of patient care star rating for this agency, usually because it has too few recent patients for a reliable score.

Home health is short-term, doctor-ordered clinical care at home, typically after a hospital stay or during recovery, and Medicare covers it in full when the patient qualifies.

If I could give a zero rating, I would. The nurse they sent out to the house put my child’s life in jeopardy. Don’t trust the care you will get from this company. They cover up complaints like nothing happened. Then they discharge your loved one without notice!

My goldendoodle Brody had some Dental work done with Dr Eric Nice Brody has had cancer so his procedure involved a gum biopsy Brody and I were very apprehensive but Dr Nice immediately addressed our fears at the consultation and we knew we were in good hands The procedure went smoothly, I was kept informed throughout the procedure and when I picked up Brody Dr Nice met me outside to go over all aspects complete with written details and X-rays Best of all about a week later he called me with the happy news that the biopsy was negative Dr Nice is an excellent dental specialist and a compassionate animal champion Thank you so much, I highly recommend Dr Nice and his wife detail staff
