Each nurse and therapist brought kindness, compassion , and professionalism to our visits. My husband was left feeling supported and confident in his move towards achieving his health goals. I felt included and respected as his wife during the discussions. We feel blessed that Amedisys bridged the hospital/surgery phase to outpatient PT seamlessly. Les and the family are deeply grateful 💖

My 88 year old mother tore ligaments in her knee and worked with Amedisys Home Health Care for physical therapy and occupational therapy. Everyone was SO wonderful and kind, going above and beyond to work with her and help her heal. Hillary was especially fantastic. She was extraordinarily compassionate and lovely with my mother, and I cannot express how grateful I am for all the help she provided.

I was very please with the service they provided. They are very considerate of your time as well they call ahead of time to set up an appointment. Not like some other agency who call and tell you I'm on my way. In my openion that unacceptable. I would definately use Amedisys again if the needs arises Doris Galarneau

Amedisys is the best! I previously had another company that I dropped. So happy my hospital roommate recommended them to me. Thoughtful, caring, responsive. Every one of those I dealt with were wonderful and I will miss them! I am now in the care of their hospice team and so far, they are top stars. I highly recommend.

Amedisys was just what I needed returning home from my second complete knee transplant in approximately twelve weeks. The staff understood my condition both physically and emotionally. They listened to my concerns and validated where I was at and where I needed to be to optimize recovery. I have another surgery in the not too distant future. I would welcome their support again. Thank you! SDT
