The Community Nurse Home Care Agency consists of a amazing group of individuals. I have had the pleasure of working with this agency for over seven years. Most of the time I was a live-in PCA/Private Case Manager for clients that needed additional Specialized Professional Guidance, other times they provided extra support to the 24/7 staff, always being just a phone call away. Every Nurse, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Home Health Aide and Hospice Nurse were Professional, Compassionate, and above all Respectful in caring for my clients. Recently, I have needed to stop working due to severe pain in my right hip and my doctor has prescibed physical therapy. I'm not able to go to out patient appointments due to my limited mobility. I asked my doctor to please send a referral for Physical Therapy to the BEST Agency I know, Community Nurse Home Care of Fairhaven. I am no longer working on the care giver team but have become on the care reciever. Therefore, I am blessed to observe both sides of the Community Nurse Home Care Agency. As a client, I feel overjoyed to have such a wonderful staff of professionals guiding me through my constant hip pain and helping me build some of my strength back. My hip surgery is scheduled fin the near and I will definitely be requesting Community Nurse back to help in my recovery.

The ABSOLUTE WORSE in Care and Comfort. Forget Dignity of your loved ones. They have been in mom's home for almost 2 months and 3 HHAs have been banned from going to Mom. Now the ONLY saving face of the company was removed from Mom by the company. A person purporting to be a nurse came in place. From phone call to appearance at the door the attitude was palpable. The degrading demeaner in which she told me about Mom and how Mom was feeling and that Mom could read her lips within her 1st 2 mins was an insult to me and Mom. Decisions made in the background within the company to remove the PCP and the health care proxy and son from decisions was done. Stay away from this company. So much for an easy and comforting transition.
