We so appreciate the expertise and good humor of Chester River Home Care Physical Therapist Jenny Paul. She was able to help our loved one reach goals he never has before and accomplished great things during her visits.

For my surgery at UM Shore Medical Center at Dorchester,  Dr. Bair & the surgical team were outstanding.  As a patient on the medical/surgical unit I was given respect & received an exceptional amount of rest, which I needed. Thank you.

I have been to two other hospitals before for migraine cocktail and from now on will only go to UM Shore Emergency Center at Queenstown. I was as very impressed with the ER and with the staff (nurse and doctor) giving me care and compassion.  Even during check in, I was asked if I  needed a wheel chair. Was able to increase nausea medicine when still having nausea. My spouse was informed of my treatment and was able to sign forms for me when I wasn’t able to and was kept up to date. I felt very cared for.

We think very highly of
Lucinda Wakefield, physical therapist with Chester River Home Care. My wife is always very complimentary of her and I have never seen her cooperate with anyone trying to help her in our home as she does with Lucinda.

At UM Shore Medical Center at Easton, the dietitian gave me great ideas on meal planning and exercises routines. She also gave me some very informative handouts. I would definitely recommend nutritional counseling to my family and friends.

At the DIC/Breast Center, my mammogram was conducted by a very courteous, caring and professional woman. She was informative, and dedicated to doing a good job. She is a breast cancer survivor and has great empathy for people undergoing mammograms.
