Mark Dupont . a physical therapist, came to our house to help my husband recover from knee surgery. He was excellent, he knew just what to do, and how to get cooperation from my husband. Ray gives him a lot of credit for his recovery. His manner was very professionl and he represented McDowell Home Health in a very favorable way.

Had assistance from McDowell Home Health two years ago. They are wonderful! Nurse Bonnie came out to my house twice weekly for three months. She was pleasant, polite, efficient. And she was very caring---I couldn't have asked for a better experience with home health care.
