If I could give Amedysis 10 stars, I would. We had the most amazing Care Team for my parent. Every service provider had a kind and happy disposition and we looked forward to their visits each time. I was given so much insight and training on how to work with the physical limitations at hand in a supportive manner. I cant wait to recommend Amedysis to any one that needs this type of support.

If you are looking for a in-home health agency, they were great. Both nurses, Sam and Asia, were knowledgeable, kind and professional. Joe, OT, was knowledgeable with increasing grip strength. Justin, PT, was geared up to get me walking. From my spinal cord injury to you, thank you.
