Do not use this agency they are the most worthless agency i have ever seen. They have no problem asuming stuff with there patients and then making it look like they know what there talking about when infact the doctors say there wrong. Also when the patients family questions something they believe is wrong with the care there recieveing this agency will try to cover there butt by blaming it on the patient and there family. They also will stand and lie to the patient and there families face with made up reasons about why the doctors orders can not be followed going as far as to say they do not have all parts needed to do there job.
