I had NSI after a major trauma surgery for about a month and the connected me with Chris for Physical Therapy. Chris was so very knowledgeable and caring. He went out of his way for me to heal properly and I have lots of respect for him for it. NSI only hires the Best!

The physical therapist & nursing staff were great; however, I experienced problems with getting continuity of care, specifically outpatient physical therapy. Even though this home health company recommended outpatient therapy, I was told the physical therapy agency was handling approval. I called the physical therapy agency and was told they had not received any information after my discharge. You may have to be proactive with regard to your health needs after being discharged from this home health agency.

When I broke my ankle Medicare chose NSI for my in-home nursing and physical therapy. Both sides were great, all personnel providing much comfort and healing. Serena Bailey was esp appreciated for her deep knowledge of all related fields and winning personality. The phone support was also aces. I was very lucky to have NSI for this difficult time.
