My wife is bedridden, muscles atrophied due to lengthy hospital and skilled nursing home stays. Cannot get out of bed without my help to get her on a bedside commode. Signed up for Mays Home Health Care the day she was discharged from the nursing facility, took 4 days for their nurse to come out to evaluate her. She was scheduled for a care provider to come out twice a week for a half hour to 'help' her take a shower, and a physical therapist to also come out twice a week. Due to her condition, showers were out of the question, and only a half hour therapy session twice a week would not be near enough to help her regain strength in her legs. As a result we hired a private care giver, but that failed as well as that person only helped get her on the commode a few times over the weekend, then sat and played games, texted, and slept. As a result of lack of needed care she suffered an irreducible umbilical hernia requiring another trip to the ER. I can only say that Barbara at Mays was very helpful and caring, but the services offered there were not sufficient for my wife's needs.

I have observed one of the care givers/home health theropist from this facility work with my mother. Just having some one who cared about my mothers rehab on her knee made a big difference. My mother looked forward to the theropist coming and put forth more effort to start walking again.
