The only reason I am giving them one star, is because of how diligent the occupational therapist was, or else I would give 0. As a Director of Rehab for a skilled nursing facility, I was extremely disappointed in the unprofessional, unorganized care that my mother in law recently received. They never showed up on time, were unappreciated of feedback and concerns that I had, and didn't show up for the frequency that they initially recommended or prescribed. If you can avoid using them, I would. I will never recommend this VNS to any of my patients or their families.

As someone who is the primary caregiver for my aging parents, it can be hard to find reliable help and someone that you can trust in providing care. I am happy to say that Visiting Nurse Services in Westchester eased all of my concerns from the moment we used them. Their staff is not only professional and reliable, but also provide a personalized level of care. I am so thankful for everything they have done and wish I had used them sooner!

VNS Westchester has been a godsend for my family! Everyone from their nurses, home health aides, and therapists have been incredible. The level of professionalism paired with their compassion is second to none! Thank you so much for providing your care for our family, and if I could give you more than five stars I would.

This homecare is amateur at best. Very poor follow up. Nurse gets confused as to the patients needs and wastes time with annoying chit chat. Expects you to contact dr. With any issues when that’s her job. Physical therapist not much better. Antagonist, cold and very negative. Stay away from this service. Plenty of other ones around.

I have had good and bad experiences with services to my parents. The services VNS provides are vital. Some of the RNs have been good to excellent. A couple have been so inappropriate particularly in their communication skills that I have wondered about what is wrong with them (emotional problems? substance abuse? low level of intelligence?). We have been pleased with the physical therapists. The aides vary but are mostly below par in comparison to private agencies.

Seriously, Medicare needs to starts really watching the visiting nurse services. They are paying these organizations, with tax payer dollars, and the VNS of Westchester really needs to be held accountable for the payments they are accepting.
The fact that this organization is turning into a monopoly, in Westchester County, will only continue to cause the service they provide to deteriorate.
The current level of service is awful and the quality they provide is severely lacking. Their main goal, seems to be, to provide their clients with an unimaginable level of frustration when the patient

If you let anyone from this agency into your home or that of a loved one, BEWARE. Please watch them like a hawk and document anything that doesn't seem right, no matter how trivial.

Dealing with this company was the most frustrating experience of my entire life. They do NOT and I repeat, NOT want to help anyone. I spent two hours on the phone trying to find out when an aid was coming to my mother in law's house and got no where except exacerbated. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. I actually called the nurse and told her not to come. They told me that if my mother in law can't answer the phone or the door by herself they would not be able to "service" her. Why would I need an aid if my mother in law was healthy enough to do everything on her own. Conundrum

This place is awful. I had a family member in their 80's that fell and was in the hospital and got a prescription for in Home Physicsl therapy. He needed to do it right away and when I called here, they told me that they needed a different prescription. I called the doctor and after two weeks got them the same thing I originally had and then they told me it was fine. After the intake department got all of our information, they told me they had to process everything and they would get in touch with me to set up an evaluation. I told them I would appreciate a rush on this as we wasted two

I had the distinct pleasure of working with VNS of Westchester service to obtain a nurse for my mother on short notice. It was around the holidays and when I called I was concerned that we would be able to find someone of quality during that time of year and on such short notice.
The intake provider was kind and considerate. She was thorough and ensured all questions were asked. She made sure I understood their services and had me thinking of details that I hadn't thought of myself.
The caregiver was so good with my Mom. Given my Mom's condition, it's not always easy to find someone she's comfortable

I contacted them to get an aide for rehabilitation at home for my mom, who is in the hospital. The person answering the phone couldn't be nastier, and kept asking for the patient's name. I replied that she was still in the hospital and unknown to them at the time; still, she insisted on her name. I told her I needed info at this time, and she insisted on the patient's name, saying she had to look her up in their system! I repeated once again...I have never used your company and my mother is not in your system.
With idiots like this running the company, I would never, ever want them coming to my
