Very professional and reliable
When I was released to home after over 200 days acute, intensive and rehabilitative care and multiple gastroeconomic surgeries you can imagine I was very weak with unhealed surgical wouds and unable to care for myself.
I was assigned a team of nurses and therapists from the local Visiting Nurse team. In spite of my original apphensiion, I cannot say enough in their behalf. The nurses they assigned to me were experienced, professional, courteous, pleasant, and prompt -- never missing an assigned appointment.
With their help, I was on the way to recovering my former level of strength, and soon able to take care of myself in a very short time. I could not have done that without the help and excellent care I received from the Visiting Nurses Team.
Thank you for the opportunity to applaud them publicly.
