I am writing to formally recognize and commend Tara Clemons (Altoona) for the exceptional care she has provided during both my recent recovery periods. Her compassion, professionalism and attention to detail have stood out in every interaction. Tara constantly demonstrated a high level of clinical skill and confidence in managing my care needs. She took the time to explain each step of the process, ensured my comfort, and monitored my healing closely. Her calm and supportive manner helped ease my anxiety and made a challenging recovery much more manageable. What impressed me the most was her dedication. Employees like Tara represent the very best of your organization. Her work reflects a high standard of care and a genuine commitment to patient well-being. I deeply appreciate all she has done and believe her efforts deserve recognition. Thank you for your time, and please extend my gratitude to Tara Clemons for a job truly well done.

We have had home health services for my mom twice now. Bree B the Altoona HH liaison, has gone above and beyond to ensure that SOC was prompt. Her communication was quick and effective. Anytime I saw her in person, although our first meet was short- she always asks how my mom is doing. Tara C the Altoona HH LPN- we cannot say enough good things. She is a star employeee and goes above and beyond, and more. She has become family to us. Her heart is centered around the patients and their recovery. She is determined to do the best job possible, while making a difference every single day. She is gentle, educates and listens. She advocates beyond measures. I also work in healthcare and she is possibly one of the best clinical team members, I have ever encountered. Thank you for all you both do.
