I was so pleased with the care that I got from Shands Home Care after my recent surgery. All of my therapists were super helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend them!
Karla Hatcher
Shands HomeCare providers are truly the BEST OF THE BEST nurses, therapists, and home care professionals anyone could experience. I had both knees replaced by Dr. Vlasak recently and chose Shands HomeCare (both times) as my in-home therapy providers. Every professional who walked through my door was helpful, prompt, courteous, kind, knowledgable, and caring. I developed wonderful relationships with each of them and highly recommend them to everyone I know who needs post-surgical care. I am so thankful for my team of providers; the ease and convenience of the valuable services I needed to fully recover was remarkable. I am so grateful to have stellar medical care so close to me. Because of my successful recovery and the quality care I received, I will choose Shands Homecare for any and all surgeries I have in the future. I could not be more thrilled with my experience with Shands HomeCare.

With in a couple of days after coming home I was contacted by my nurse and therapist to set appointments to come to my house and see me . They were both very professional and very attentive to my needs and my recovery after my surgery. Not only did they do assessments of me give me exercises to do but they were both an inspiration to me mentally to get through what I had been through. I recommend strongly to take advantage of UF home care they were a critical part of my recovery.

While recuperating from a broken shoulder I had the pleasure of having Shands Homecare assisting me with nursing care, physical therapy and home health aide. Everyone I had the pleasure of meeting provided very compassionate and professional care. The staff were very pleasant and enjoyable and went above and beyond to assist me. I would always recommend the Shands Homecare group.
