I strongly do not recommend this home health company to anyone. My experience with their services was extremely disappointing and frustrating. The front staff, especially Maxine, was consistently rude and disrespectful, making communication difficult right from the start. My skilled nurse, Shelia L., was habitually late and often missed scheduled appointments without any notice or explanation. This lack of reliability made it hard to trust the care I was supposed to receive. Keith, the physical therapist, was unfriendly and showed little motivation to help. Instead of providing the recommended two visits per week, he only showed up once a week over four weeks, which did not meet my care needs. Dena, the occupational therapist, also seemed disengaged and unmotivated during her visits, making the sessions feel ineffective and unhelpful. Overall, the staff did not demonstrate the dedication, professionalism, or effort that patients deserve from a home health provider. I cannot recommend this company to anyone in need of dependable and compassionate care.

Patient Care Advocates provided care to my mother when she was discharged from the skilled nursing facility following hip surgery. The entire staff was wonderful - Linda, the RN was so compassionate and caring with mom; Mark, the PT was thorough and caring with mom when he provided instruction on exercises for her to do; Jayson, the OT provided excellent care as well. I am grateful to the PCA team and would definitely request them again if their services are ever needed in the future.

I have to say I was appalled at the lack of respect this home health nurse gave my father. We asked that she place her mask on before entering the home and she said she wanted us to see her face and came in and only after sitting close to him then put on her mask! Hello Covid! She was impatient and was rude interrupted him and talked over him when he would attempt to answer her questions. She was combative and after we asked her to stop aggravating him she continued to upset him. She looked at his home for safety took a history of medications and blood pressure and then forced him to sign documents with out letting him read them. When we asked to see the signed documents she got irritated with us wanting to see them. The entire interaction was 45 minutes. This agency is a law firm and patients who are referred to this agency should be aware of this up front. Hopefully this was just a case of a terrible nurse and not a reflection of the services of this company.

PCA has been an actual life saver for my elderly mother, the care givers are top notch, we have used them several times over the past 5 years for everything from PT, OT to round the clock care and they have been excellent! The home health nurse they sent the first time recognized that my mother still had a UTI and should not have been discharged from rehab, she was amazing and followed us through my moms reentry to the hospital and finally her release and home care needs. I would give them 10 stars!
