We couldn't be more impressed with the care my husband is receiving in our home. We have a bath aide, nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy and wound care nurse. They come twice a week. They are very very kind and knowledgeable. I rate these people as top notch. We are real fortunate to have them.
