Providers We Love

We are privileged to have received referrals from and be able to coordinate care with many Assisted Living facilities, rehab facilities, and Medicare Home Care and Hospice agencies. Our growth is in large part due to the trust the staff in these organizations have put in our caregivers. We are likewise impressed with them and we are committed to referring to them on a regular basis

Kindred Care at Home / Formerly Gentiva Home Health Care Services Stratford,
Old Saybrook, Hamden, Farmington.


Their services include: Skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational and speech language therapy Neurorehabilitation, wound care, disease and pain management, medication management and education. They maintain a special expertise in dementia care.

Most of these services can be found in any certified agency. And there are several hundred such agencies in CT.

But Kindred / Gentiva distinguishes itself in countless ways:

Professionalism.

Continuity of care.

Communication.

Competence.

Customer Service.


We strongly suggest Kindred Care at Home to our clients in need of Medicare home health. They have long been a referral source of ours. But they now enjoy an endorsement from our company owner, perhaps the most challenging patient they have ever served. Bravo!
