I have nothing but good things to say about Amedysis. Every nurse and therapist my mom had was amazing. They have great bed side manner, they are professional, encouraging, and knowledgeable about their field. Without Amedysis my mom wouldn’t have recovered the way she did. Doctors told her she wouldn’t ever walk again, but Amedysis worked with her and now she’s walking. She is slowly but surely gaining her strength and independence back after her life changing diagnosis. Thank you to everyone who played a role in giving my mom her life back.

PT was very good! Loreen is exceptional! She is very smart and also caring. I’ve had several PTs and she is the best! I wish I could find one as good now that I have to transition.

They were on top of everything. The nurses called a few days in advance to schedule appointments. If they ran late bc of traffic, they called and advised. Everyone was very friendly polite and courteous! It was a pleasure working with everyone and highly recommend them after a surgery!

Nursing and OT were excellent. I do think they kept me on services longer than they should have. The first visit of the PT she acted like an army sergeant. She stated she was going to discharge me because my home was not safe because of packages that were not put away. . Needless to say the packages did get put away, but I had to do it a little at a time. The second visit when the physical therapist came over she started laughing and saying that she must’ve scared me because she told me she was going to discharge me so I put away some of the packages. Towards the end of the Services the PT was nicer and did things that were more relevant to my care.
