My sweet mother was in the very competent, caring hands of the staff at Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice. They helped us every step of the way through a tremendously difficult process. The facility in Northport is clean, private and everything you could ask for during such a hard time for grieving families. I highly recommend Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk.

My grandma had nurses come to her house after a long road to recovery and she had nothing but amazing things to say. She was so comfortable and happy with the company and support they gave to her. Thank you so much Visiting Nurse Service for taking care of my favorite lady!! ❤️

When my mom was admitted in 2014 we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They truly did everything they could to make her as comfortable as possible and give us a piece of mind. They have a wonder facility, a beautiful garden and the nurses are very caring when they are at the house or the facility. We truly thank you for everything you have done before and after her passing.
