Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2 ESV)
The women and men of Interim Health Care are, in truth the most caring, empathetic, and effective health care workers ever. They were strangers only for a moment. They have and give of their knowledge and time with a happy heart. They bring joy and provide light in the darkness.

My Mom was a client with Interim for over 2 years. The Interim staff was compassionate and knowledgeable. They helped our family navigate the difficult road after her Alzheimer's diagnosis. Our caregiver was with us 40 hours a week and truly became a member of our family. She not only made sure all of my Mom's basic needs were taken care of, but she made sure the days were filled with laughter, good food and great company. They are truly 5-star!

The caregiver was absolutely outstanding and wondeful for work with. She had a wonderful routine for my mother in-law. She would shower her and take her for fitness exercises. She helped her to enjoy their activities.

Interim Hospice was very supportive to our family at the time of our father's needs. The nurse was with us when we needed her most. The chaplain spent time with my mother addressing her needs and questions. We are forever grateful for them!

I'm a nurse. The other health care provider in this area is affiliated with the hospital that I had worked with for a very long time. They couldn't get somebody to help me right away. I couldn't coordinate hospice and home health aid. I had to talk with 2 different people.
Interim was the easiest to get the information form. They were also the nicest to talk with over the phone and that they could get somebody out right away. The caregivers were great. My father was sick and we used them for home hospice and home health aid in April. We used them again for my mother who just passed in October. The staff is so nice. When we call them they would send somebody immediately. Interim was wonderful and I would recommend them to anybody.
