I had a kidney transplant at MUSC and the home care that we pick was Amedsis and I am glad I did. The transplant nurse Kelly is excellent. She gave us so much information and help setting up all of my new meds. If you have a choice I definitely would use Amedsis

My husband just went through kidney & liver transplant surgeries. Upon discharge Kelly was our home health nurse at our hotel. She was a God Send. Very informative, professional, kind, caring, and she definitely has a great personality. So grateful for her care, and for being there daily to care and talk to us about the do’s and don'ts after transplants. I don’t know what we would have done without her. Thank you!!!

I am a first time patient of at-home healthcare, so this experience is all new to me. Initially the first nurse that was sent to me was just not a great fit and her actions were unacceptable, so we reached out to the clinical manager, Jeanine. Jeanine was so compassionate while listening to my concerns and quickly made things right. The next day my current nurse, Nina Roper visited my and immediately attended to my needs. She is very knowledgeable, personable, attentive, honest and so much more. She was very direct regarding her expectations of me and educated me on my condition and what duties she will be performing. I feel that I am in great hands. -Gwendolyn Broughton, Hollywood SC.

These people were doing wound care on my father's foot. At no time did they ever tell us he needed to go to wound clinic or wound doctor. This resulted in his leg being amputated. These people are in my opinion the worst of the worst. Avoid them at all cost!
