This is our second experience with Bayou Home Care. The company was selected by the surgeon in 2017 and 2018 for my husband and mother -- both having spine surgery. The nursing staff is knowledgeable and friendly making my Mother at ease and providing positive feedback. I especially appreciated their reviewing their step-by-step procedures with me for completing sterile dressing changes. This is so important when a family caregiver is responsible for changing the dressings too. (I love snapping the gloves!) The occupational and physical therapists are extremely thorough providing their care including evaluating, training and feedback as my Mother recovers. Again, I appreciate their reviewing procedures with me to make sure I am able to help her for the rest of her day. Several times they repeated risky activities when I asked including entering and exiting a tall vehicle, bathing and entering and exiting our home. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and patient with "the patient" and with "the family".
