I had the opportunity to use Inerim Home HealthCare for RN Visits for a couple of months when I had a Spinal Fusion, they treated me with Dignity and Respect in a professional manner and yet made me feel like family. They were a tremendous help in the healing process. I wold use them again if the situation arose and I would recommend their services to family and friends.
