My wife Lynn has been helped enormously by all at Modern Home Health. OT Daniel Waller in particular helped my wife from not being able to walk at all to actually moving with very little assistance with a walker for twenty feet at a time in only four short visits. If only I could have gotten the Doctor to extend the home health visits so she could have received more visits from Daniel. No telling how much better she would now be if he could have continued to come. Thank you Daniel and thank you all at Modern Home Health.

My husband has been treated, off and on, by Modern Home Health since November, 2023. His Occupational Therapist, Daniel Waller, has been incredibly kind and patient and has worked wonders in getting my husband on his feet. His Physical Therapist, Megan Dupuy, has also been a Godsend in getting him up on his feet and almost walking!!! His Nurse, Ashley DeGruy, is an absolute Angel on earth and has taken excellent care of him. I cannot say enough great things about these people, who feel more like family as that’s how much they genuinely care for their patients and family members. HIGHLY recommend this company!!!

I just had a four disc fusion and company has been fantastic. I have had to see a nurse 14 days in a row and they are extremely professional and compassionate- My nurses Bridget during week and Jeanette on weekends - have been fantastic and Daniel OT as well- I am very impressed and would highly recommend especially if you have extensive acute needs. What impressed me the most was how they communicated with each other so I didn’t have to explain what was happening over and over with nurse change up and OT. Daniel helped me so much to deal with issues of daily living because I was alone and had to be able to function with a huge incision and extremely limited mobility. Thank you Modern!

If I could give their hospice care zero stars I would. They made my mom's first 2 days at home a nightmare. Everyone was all business like when we needed compassion. They don't return phone calls, my mom was in severe pain when this could have been peaceful final days for her. The only person that provided any compassion for my mom or the family was Miss Marla the Chaplin, she was a blessing. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
