The nurse that did come once a week, did NOT order any supplies for my mama’s big open wound and the cna barely wipe her w/towel, plus when she did do her wound, she act like she’s in such a rush like a chicken w/her head cut off. I wouldn’t recommend any home health, because no one is the best or cares
