Melissa and Sophia were great. I wouldn't have improved as much as I have without them. They were friendly, but firm. Always on time and quick to answer questions. I fully recommend Aveanna.

Both Eric RN and Jess PT Were professional helpful, and were able to answer all the questions I had or were able to direct me someone who could answer the questions. Would definitely recommend using Aveanna home health.

These people are rude and they have no bedside manners after I decided to cancel there service they went out there way to call all the local hospitals to tell them I might be coming in totally not there business. They always late or a no show and always have plenty of excuses. They talk to the patient like they stupid and don’t understand what’s going on with them. They even called the people to come pick up the equipment the next day which we had the equipment before we even went with there company these people are just evil… Now the bath nurse was A 1 the whole time if she was going to be late she would call but them nurses would not call and most Fridays it was a guaranteed they was not coming
