Had a 6 week IV program and my caregiver Royce was amazing. Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and easy going. Always available by phone or text and great follow ups with the doctors, pharmacists, labs and blood work people. Lucky to have him in the Eastern Sierra.

My family has been using Pioneer Home Health Care for the last fifteen years for two (2) generations of family member's. Susan Craig, Sandra, Trish, Anita and Diane were all of our "trusted-advisor's" for care, most recently for my mother with advanced stage Alzheimer's and severe depression. Being many miles away, we entrusted PHHC's care for our mother, and she loved every care-giver who showered her with not only support care, but above and beyond with love, trust and most of all, the companionship she needed that our remote schedules could not amend for doctor's appointments, market trips, and more. You will be thankful for every moment that you have PHHC in your life. Trust me... I am, and always will be.
