There’s not enough time or words to truly express how our VNS Health home health aide blesses our home daily. She is a ray of light — faithful, disciplined, always on time, always doing more than required. She never complains and is always smiling, always joyful.

Family caregiver

The psychiatric social worker’s patience, kindness, professional advice, and general demeanor are truly unique. She takes her job so very seriously — I am certain that she blesses countless people!

Niece of a VNS Health client

Our VNS Hospice care team made us feel that we had a hand to hold, listened to all of our questions, and gave us the assistance we needed. We were grateful that our dad died in his home and our care team made him feel comfortable. They always made sure our parents were well taken care of.
