Why Choose RVNAhealth?

Why Choose RVNAhealth?

"Dignity and compassion are how I described to my husband the therapists' interactions. They handle difficult situations with understanding, kindness, and respect. Their subtlety, compassion, and dignity give Parkinson's patients strength to tackle their challenges."

Lois. M.

"Shortly after I reached out to RVNAhealth, I received a phone call from your nurse, which has been the biggest blessing during my recovery process. She has been coming to my house for over a week and has been nothing but amazing!!!"

Jennifer R.

"Throughout it all, your nurses and caregivers were caring and empathetic — and allowed her to maintain control of her destiny to her final breath. My sister and I were privileged to be able to be with her when she took that breath, and we owe a great deal of that to RVNAhealth. We will never forget what a gift that was."

Peter S.

"The nurses and staff from RVNAhealth that we had post-surgery for antibiotic IVs and monitoring were amazing! They were nice, caring, available when needed and answered all of our questions. They made us feel at ease with all of our new at-home procedures. They were available to be contacted anytime and would make a visit to our house anytime we had any concerns or issues. I would highly recommend your care to anyone."

Linda R.

"Thanks to RVNAhealth, my mom was able to stay in her own home until the very end and pass peacefully and comfortably. We are extremely thankful to your devoted organization for making that happen."

Bob H. and Judy K.

"The entire staff at RVNAhealth Rehabilitation Services has been amazing. I could not have hoped for a more professional experience. The post-surgery program that was developed for me and the implementation have been first rate."
