Grace of PDHH was so kind and helped my mom and I find the best materials such as a rollator to help my brother walk again. He had recently suffered a stroke in May and we brought him back home with us this August. We are grateful to PDHH as the rollator and home health materials were provided at no extra cost to us. I highly recommend anyone in the local Kern County Area reach out to them. They are very helpful and very caring for those who are new to understanding the caretaking process of a loved one. Thank you Purpose Driven Home Health 🙏

The in home Nurses were great. But Nixon (was told he’s the owner) is useless, not a quality admin. He came to the house and did a nice little song and dance then decided to ignore us. Doesn’t return phone calls, not one of the many calls were ever acknowledged. Doesn’t care about you or your family members.
