Kudos to Good Samaritan Legacy Home Health Care. My mother was moved from the Good Samaritan home, regrettably to another facility that was not related to Good Samaritan. Until I was able to be involved, it was a bit frustrating getting the level of PT/OT care that was received from another company. I requested the continuity of PT/OT care of two incredible professionals and have emailed Good-Sam my appreciation and thanks. These two professionals should be recognized for going above and beyond, for their care of my mother. Thank you!
