I have been a client for 20 years. I like Approved Home Health because they are excellent helpers. Everybody is so wonderful. They know me so well they can almost read my mind. Most of all, we are just like one big happy family. They do not feel like strangers. They feel like family. I will recommend them indeed. I also want to thank the office staff for such great teamwork.
My husband has been a client with Approved Home Health for a long time. He was referred by the Alzheimer’s Association. With Alzheimer’s you must have consistency and he has very good caregivers. They are like our daughters. I have recommended Approved Home Health to other people and always will.
I have been a client for 14 years. My husband had it; he passed away and now I am a client. We’ve always had excellent caregivers. Approved Home Health is efficient, understanding and very caring. I get help from other agencies, but Approved Home Health is the only one that sends out birthday cards.
