They get 2 stars because most of the nurses we dealt with were lovely and the first 2 days of home health care were good. At the day 2 appointment, I learned that I was expected to take over administering my husband's intravenous medications. I do not have any medical training and was very nervous about doing the IV. At the 3rd appointment, I told the nurse I did not feel confident about administering the medications. She told me I was doing fine but I insisted that I wanted additional nurses visits. I don't know whether she ignored me or the administrator overseeing our case ignored me, but no nurse showed up for day 4. I called the office only to be told we were not going to receive a visit from a nurse. I attempted to administer my husband's IV and made mistakes. Luckily, he was okay but it took another call to speak with a supervisor to get nurses coming back for visits. I will never use this company again if I can avoid it.

Whitny is the ideal home nurse. She is a patient advocate, as well an excellent wound care person. She observes the patient condition and alerts other related medical team when needed. Very mature and wise beyond her age. Wayne

We have found Pinnacle Home Care to be unresponsive and extremely unprofessional. Because of an injury, I was unable to take phone calls for a few days. We called them when I was once again mobile. It has been six weeks and they have not bothered to phone us to get services started. We are going back to the physician and requesting a more reputable physical therapist. I do not advise working with these people.

On behalf of my parents in Vero Beach: Courtney S. and Debra L. were absolutely wonderful. They were both reliable, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. We could not have asked for better care after a surgery. We highly recommend them and this company for any home health-care needs. We'd give 10 stars if possible!

Had a reverse colostomy surgery recently and was afforded a nurse (Teresa) and a physical therapist (Sarah) that provided in home health care. These two (2) ladies were very professional and caring. They set appointments and arrived on time with a smile. I can’t tell ya how pleased we are with their commitment to care. It really showed, I miss them already….You pinnacle are very fortunate to have employees like these that really care about their patients……Roger Birt
