My father had Newsome Home Health. We worked with Melanie and Ryan. My dad was difficult to deal with at times but Melanie who was our nurse was always patient and kind. She always lent and ear when I needed to talk. Ryan was so empathetic. He really helped me out as a carergiver just with his empathy. I can’t recommend them enough.

I was released from the hospital and needed therapy and nursing care to get my back on my feet. I was so fortunate to have the therapists and nurse. My therapist were Ed and Kelli. Both were so patient without letting me give up or regress. I was able to progress from requiring a walker to walking on my own. And the OT Kelli was able to get me back to being able to dress myself and take care of my household duties. I would not have been able to do any of this without these 2. Then there was my Nurse, Jessica. She was outstanding. So knowledgeable and efficient. She was able to get me over the finish line to healing. I highly recommend Newsome. They were always here when they said and were flexible enough to work around my schedule. And I don't think I could have received better care anywhere.

My husband has had the care of nurse Amanda to deal with the wound on his leg, and Julie the physical therapist to regain mobility. Both are professional, caring, and unfailingly cheerful and positive. They are a pleasure to associate with.

I truly love this agency!!! They provide caring people who really listen to their clients and family concerns. They did a great job helping my oldest sister. They explained everything to her first and she was not treated differently because of her condition. They did an excellent job. It’s so rare to find people who are willing to help others and work together to make sure the client gets the best care. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone.

It was a pleasure to be helped by this agency. My case workers were Nurse-Allie George Social Worker - Beth Brennan Occupational Therapy - Kelli Sykes Physical Therapy - Jose Cantu Thanks to them helping me in my recovery I am doing great and enjoying my life. They always let me know when they were coming and were always on time. They were patient and kind when I was slow to understand something. I would highly recommend them to any one in need of home health care.
