Being a home health PT of 25 years myself, my standards for care are very high. I called Dependable Nursing across the country to start home health for my mother who is undergoing chemo for breast cancer. I could not be MORE IMPRESSED by their professionalism, punctuality and care they showed my mother. Ms Amy the nurse was so kind and loving to her, and was always available to me for updates. I'd recommend them again and again!

So, I have to post something on this company. Dependable Nursing was assigned to our support. And we had a few meetings, and all I can say is I am so thankful that they were. they provided support and the the caregiver was so great for our needs.

If you find yourself in the situation where you actually need a nurse to help care for your child, then this is the agency to turn to. We have been over-the-top happy with the care our daughter receives from Dependable Nursing. Due to her complex medical needs, we needed a team we could trust to deliver quality patient care, support and most of all, dependability. Not only do we have the best private duty nurse, the office is quick to respond to our phone calls and helps us sort out the confusing and challenging insurance issues. We don't trust many people with our child, but we know she is in good hands. The peace of mind is priceless.
