They are amazing! Jesse came out until he figured out what was going on with Dennis, what an improvement he made. Laurie has a great sense of caring. Jefferson was also great. He took special care. Amanda was very informative and helpful. My experience with them was exceptional.

Brenda D. was fantastic! She walked me through all of my exercises and did my walks with me! It is very obvious that she has a ton of experience and modified my exercises as we went along. I credit her with setting the tone for my recovery. Thanks, Brenda!!!

American River Home Care provided in-home nursing, physical therapy and occupational therapy recently after I had my right hip replaced the end of January. Scott was my nurse, Kelsey was my PT and Emerald was my OT. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the care and concern I received. They were polite, respectful and very professional and I was sad my care had to end. I highly recommend this home health care agency without reservation.

So glad I was referred to American River Hospice. My husband was in a memory care facility and in the end stages of dementia. From the first call I made to this hospice company until the end of my husband’s life, they were there for us every step of the way. Kind, compassionate, prompt, knowledgeable and very supportive. They helped my husband transition peacefully and were always available when he or I needed them. A heartfelt “thank you” to all of them.

Really appreciate The administration team and the Nursing, PT and OT Staff. They really came through for us when the original agency we were discharged with completely dropped the ball and were extremely unprofessional. American River has been a beacon of light during my recovery.
