ReliaCare LTD Is the only place that you can rely on. They make sure you are well taken care of and they do it with love, compassion, and grace. “We are in this together.” The owner, Miss Shaw upon hearing that I would be without my medication coming back from the hospital, she made I business to see that I was taken care of. I am not at all disappointed. What should have taken five minutes took almost two hours! Walgreens do v that I have “to many medicines.” Miss Shah handled with professional-is, grace and peace. Her team will make sure that you needs, they go above and beyond! Thank you!

Both the owner and Home Nurse Cherrie are amazing and helpful. My mother was discharged from hospital under home care arrangement and Cherrie made sure that my mother gets the best possible treatment. Cherrie goes over and beyond her duties to make sure that the patient is comfortable, very punctual of time and always keeps us updated with the test results. Highly recommended

My Nurses Mary Beth and Eric are both top notch. My Physical Therapist Colleen is the best! She even cleared some snow for me. You will not find a more professional group.

If I could post 0 Stars, I would. This home health is the most unreliable company. My husband had heart surgery and a nurse was to see him the day after discharge. This didn't occur for three days. On the second visit the blood specimen was not labeled therefore it had to be redrawn which didn't occur for 7 hours later. Then this specimen did not have enough blood. I do not recommend this agency.
