I can't thank Abdul for his assistance with my mom. It was smooth and easy. What a great company if in need.

Orion Home Health provided me with an RN that visited weekly. Nurse Wayne provided me with excellent patient care! He was competent, explained things thoroughly, pleasant and most of all kind!

Wayne came to my home several times to assist with my grandfather who was staying with me after a gastrostomy feeding tube insertion; he was extremely helpful, very professional, always arriving on time, and always in a good mood. I would highly recommend him.
