The Vangard staff, both in the office and in the field, is easy to work with. They are very professional and accommodating to the needs of the patient and the family. It has been easy to message the staff when the need arises.

Monika is incredibly professional, compassionate, and genuinely caring. As a social worker, it is very important to me to have a trustworthy and dependable home health agency I can confidently recommend. Knowing that Vanguard is committed to providing their best care and support to patients transitioning home after acute or SNF care gives me re-assurance that patient will receive the proper treatment. I highly recommend Vanguard!

My family and I would like to thank the folks at Vanguard for all the great care that was provided for my father. Mary the nurse did a wonderful job treating the wound and always showing up on time and I well prepared to care for my father. Monica the person who helped set up the care and who always answered all of my concerns did s wonderful job with costumer service. I can't say enough about the people who assisted my father and I through this very difficult journey. Thank you from my father and I for everything 🙏 ❤️
