The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Wilkes Barre, PA for 2025

"I would recommend Erwine Home Health to anybody. I have an aide that comes three days a week, and an LPN that comes once a week. My aide is wonderful. She's the greatest. I just felt comfortable with her. From the beginning we seem to go along really well. We're about ten years apart agewise, but we have a lot of things in common. She helps me get dressed and bathe, makes breakfast or lunch and other personal things. She's really a self starter. She seems to know what needs to be done. I've had very good experience with Erwine. I call them to ask questions or get in touch with people. They’re there if I need them. "

"We got Kindred Home for my brother-in-law. He gets physical therapy, occupational therapy, and the nurse comes. They don't have aides to come in and fill the hours we need. They're excellent, the nurses are great, the therapists are great, and everybody is good there. They'll work around if we have appointments."

"The agency is severely understaffed. If a caregiver calls off, the agency is unable to find a substitute. The patient is left without service. On many occasions I was left without coverage because they did not have someone to cover the hours. "

"This company is AMAZING in every way! Such professional and courteous staff, and the nurses perfect in every aspect. I can't even begin to thank them all for the exceptional care that my family and father received. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is searching for top of the line care for your loved one!"

"My father-in-law is under hospice from Personal Home Healthcare and Hospice. They seem to be pretty good. Right now we have a nurse two days a week and an aide to give him a shower two days a week, and it seems to be working out well. We've had a few issues. We'd call them, bang, they're right there, 24 hours a day. They'll come in and check his vital signs, and get our prescriptions for him through them, and the pharmacy delivers. They have a volunteer that comes once a week, sits and chats with my father-in-law. The nurses are excellent, the aide is wonderful, the volunteer that comes and talks to him is a really nice and older gentleman. He's getting really good care with these people. I've never had an issue with them."
