Melody is the best nurse I have ever had, and I have had a lot throughout my illness. We would not be alive today without her help when we had COVID.
I was alone at care for my husband at the end of his life and Yolanda did not hesitate to jump in and save the day. She took great care of him and is truly a life saver.
Our family felt incredibly supported by the entire APEX team
I was always supported by Dorina in the office, she is supportive, and I received adequate help every time I called, which was a lot. I never felt like a bother.

Your team was great! My entire family believed that APEX, especially Mary, pulled miracles on Friday evening when my mom was admitted. Somehow your team was able to get a hospital bed, oxygen, a shower chair, and medications within hours. This is a truly amazing service. My mom was a mess this weekend and we could not have managed her care without the APEX team. Sweglo Family
