Sadly our home health program has come to an end, but we feel that it has been a major success and that we can build upon what was accomplished during the 6 month period. As the family caretakers of a stroke patient we felt extremely isolated and alone as the ambulance pulled away and left us with my father in a wheelchair. Your group of very special ladies immediately arrived and filled the void. They provided not only their professional medical oversight but also their caring outreach to all of us. They felt like family and they truly reflected the fact that they love what they do. Looking forward to each and every visit made us realize that we have better days ahead. Thankyou for being there for us and giving us a new lease on life.

Amedisys is an amazing option for extra support care services. Whenever someone needs Home Health, I always tell them to call Jordan Heaton Dozier! She is knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate. She also is very aware of all the local support options, in case you need additional resources. Another benefit is that Amedisys has their own Hospice. So, if you or your loved one needs increased care, you can remain with your trusted company.

The people of Amedysis are all wonderful and caring. In particular, I want to praise the nursing and Occupational Therapy teams for their dedication and all the things they did to help my husband's recovery from Stroke and MRSA. Many thanks to the PT team and we look forward to their referral to Shelteeing Arms.

We are using Amedisys Home Health for a knee replacement, and a torn Quadricep Muscle. My husband Larry has excellent Home Health professionals: Sonia , Head of Physical Therapy, Greg, a PT Tech, Libby, a R.N., and April, and OT Tech. Two others came to our home. These folks are very professional, and they help the patient achieve his / her goals. Dr Anthony Carter , a fantastic Orthopedic Surgeon at HROSM, and his P.A.’s highly recommend Amedisys, and so do we! Jill and Larry Wilkinson
