We had Medline for over two months and while the care was adequate, most of the nurses and staff we encountered lacked experience. Their physician was excellent however tho with the pandemic we never met him in person. They got back to us when we called but we’re not very proactive with guidance. I would go with a company that had more experience. I had that with family members in other cities and that experience is valuable.
