This is HarbourGrove Care&Mobility LLC and it has been a pleasure working with skyline transitional care. Everyone there is so kind and so caring. We have been transporting for them for quite some time now and it has been a fantastic experience.

Skyline has the best therapists (PT, OT) I have ever worked with. Kristen is an excellent leader, and Stacy and Laura provide goals that are sensible and reachable. Additionally, Irris and Taylor were always willing to help. The nurses and CNA's were kind, motivating with bright smiles and good humor. In fact, they became like family.  I recomemd Skyline to everyone. Thank you so much for Chris Martinez, you’re amazing and you truly were a great advocate and voice!

Rude staff- was put on hold three times and picked up by new people each time and the third time the lady snapped at me and hung up. was just trying to get an ETA on transportation for a guy and turns out they never even called for it when i requested they do. He was waiting for over an hour before i called his transportation myself and they had no idea he was ready
