My physical therapist was tough. He pushed me to do things that hurt and were difficult. However, today, I'm grateful. I am doing better than expected with my knee replacement less than 2 months post-op. Thank you!!

The human touch home health was understanding and compassionate. The Occupational therapist and the Pysical therapist were great to work with. In fact the whole team was wonderful. They took the time to listen to your concerns and how they can help you. I would recommend their service to those who need home care.

With all i went through for 2-3 months , my Nurse,Omowunmi,was very patient and understanding with my needs and to help me get back to normal me again. We did run into weather related conditions, but she never gave up and always re-scheduled so I can get the help i needed. Her knowledge was warming and very well appreciated. Keep up the good work. This was my first time working with home care services. Good to be in my own home for treatment.
