Testimonials

"Our nurse has been visiting with my dad (almost 89 years old) and filling his medications for quite a while. When you look up the word angel in the dictionary, there is a good chance you will see her picture next to the definition. She goes above and beyond her role. She always keeps in contact with me to let me know about his health and mental state. She has and continues to work with us to make sure he is taken care of beyond her time with him. It is obvious she genuinely cares about him and his well-being."

"Home Health Care is a wonderful program that offers kind, compassionate and caring nurses. Their support system they offer is by far the best I’ve ever been involved in. I highly recommend their services."

"At such a difficult time MercyOne Hospice was so easy to work with. This was never a situation I felt I could handle or be part of. I was not prepared for anything and the staff there made such a huge difference with all of us. I found them all very caring, helpful and understanding. They did an excellent job. We worked with them with both of my parents."
