I’m only on week 2 of therapy and I’m so motivated to keep pushing my therapist are the best. I had therapy in the pass and none was intense and motivational as this. I’m actually seeing positive results and can’t wait for the final outcome which I know is gonna lead to me being more independent

My name is Elijah and I’ve been working with Ms Linda and Ms Ireana and I love wat they have done for me. A few weeks ago I was wondering if I’d ever b able to get out my bed ever again and within a month of meeting these angels I’m sitting up on the edge of my bed again gaining more and more confidence in my body and my ability to stand again not only that I’m getting stronger my body is shrinking and it feels so good to b able to eat in a sitting position again. My willingness to do more is driving the ladies to help me more and I really appreciate achilles Home Health for sending these ladies to help me. Thank you very much.

Had an excellent experience with Achilles home health. The OT and PT they sent to take care of my 100 year old mother-in-law were outstanding. Irena and Linda were able to get her to walk over 150 steps with her walker. She improved so much since they began treating her- (She is stationary most of the time and really needed to move around). Irena and Linda were caring and extremely thoughtful and kind. I highly recommend both!!!

I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the outstanding and thoughtful care I have received regarding my severe case of Lymphedema. Both therapists, Linda Miller (Lymphedema specialist) and Iryna Chumakova (Occupational therapist) have greatly added to the improved functionality in my life. The care and treatment I am receiving is life changing, without which my Lymphedema would return to the deformed state in which they found me. The skilled, professional care I have received from them has given me hope I did not have several months ago. Linda C. Coleman
