"The nurses of Vna of Albany, Saratoga, Rensselaer Chha were fantastic, but they had to stop. Since they stopped my mom got sick. They would come in and do physical therapy and occupational therapy, and the nurses would come in to check her heart for three weeks daily or every other day. They were doing exercises with her, and she was doing really well, but then they stopped because her insurance wouldn't pay for it anymore. They seemed to think she was doing better. Those women were great and I would recommend them to anybody. They were wonderful, they would call me first a couple of hours before they were coming, and check whether it was OK for them to come."

"I was so happy that I chose Gentiva to come into my father's home for follow up care after he was discharged from the Hospital. The team came into our home and were so respectful to us! The care was excellent. They were very considerate and really in tune to his needs. We couldn't of asked for anything more. Thanks Gentiva! "
