The worst experience ever!!!!!! My patient had three different nurses to come and two of them was the worst ever!!!!! They supposed to come once a week, but for almost 2weeks the family didn’t see a nurse….. They was lying about supplies for two weeks never got them until the last nurse came and made it happened!!!!!! The family had to go out and buy supplies and bathe lady came once out of 2 months!!! I usually don’t give bad reviews but I hope the get better because this was horrible!!!!

This company is horrible . Kala Knox is very rude and disrespectful . They are very unorganized and when you question them they only make excuses .

I cannot say enough good things about each wonderful soul at Amedysis that touched our lives during the saddest possible time. Genuine caring and comforting. They were there for us in ways I would not have known were needed such as counseling along the way and after. There wasn't anything that I would change.

If I could give this place more stars I would. Craig and Meg made my transition from physical therapy in a facility to home physical therapy and to outpatient PT easier for me. After rotator cuff surgery I could not drive so my physical therapist would come to my house and give me one-on-one physical therapy. I was encouraged, inspired, and looked forward to their visits. My goals were met, and I could not have done it without them!

I am very dissatisfied with how my Mother was treated by Amedisys staff. Without my knowledge, or, authorization, the Nurse gave her Morphine, ,Lorazapam, and other drugs, to end her life. Her Doctor said he NEVER authorized Morphine for her. She was not in severe pain nor, in a state severe enough to justify giving her controlled substances to end her life. She had never had any controlled substances, nor, any harmful drugs. In addition, she was physically abused with bruise marks on her arms, because the nurse claimed she couldn't get a blood pressure reading. She squeezed the cuff so tight two or three times, causing my mother to SCREAM to the top of her lungs. This action left her black and blue on both arms, causing more PAIN and Suffering Pain. My Mother suffered badly for the weeks following being given DRUGS, until her DEATH. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HOSPICE TO Any Family unless you need to take them out of their misery, or, expect them to Die. NO ONE should have the right to give someone DRUGS to end their LIFE.
