My mother was a patient for 6 to 9 months and loved her caretakers. Throughout the procedure, they were really sympathetic and caring. The office staff was fantastic to work with and was always willing to help when we needed it. Essential Home Health is a well-established firm that specializes in senior care, and I highly suggest them to anyone who requires assistance with a loved one!
