Just two months ago I was nearing hopelessness, certain that my arthritic condition would prevent…read moreme from living independently at home. Then, the wonderful people at Butte Home Health and Hospice showed up at my door, bringing with them the care and advice I needed to find my way forward. Now, after five weeks of in-home visits from their talented, professional staff, my life is wholly better, and I no longer fear I'll have to leave my home. Everything about this terrific non-profit is dedicated to their client's needs and well-being. Visits are organized to provide a seamless bridge from immobility to independence, through skilled application of exercise practice and advice. Everyone who came to help - home health nurse, physical therapist, and medical social worker - were kind, warm-natured, and gently encouraging. I am particularly grateful to Erik Karchev, whose knowledge and talent as a physical therapist enabled me to experience a renewed mobility that I despaired I'd never feel again, and my pain level has decreased noticeably. A lot of good can come from working with skilled and dedicated professionals, and working with Butte Home Health and Hospice has truly improved my life. I now have hope that I can continue to live independently in my home, and, at 73 years old, discovering a new hopefulness is amazing!

So, we were one of the families affected by Enloe Hospice's closure. It was upsetting, because we…read moreadored the staff and care we got from Enloe Hospice. Many, however, transferred to Butte Home Health so the transition has been good. The RN is the most important and crucial, right? We met Pamela for her first visit and it only took minutes to be comfortable again. She is the personification of excellence, and I feel my wife has a concierge doctor/nurse when she is here and an advocate for her health. Today, Butte authorized a portable oxygen machine so that we have some additional options to go out and about. From medication organization and ordering to specific needs, we have appreciated each person, from Shannon, the social worker, to Theresa in PT, Chaplain Hugh, we feel so lucky. If this review can help others, then it is worth the time to have done it. All companies will have similar manuals, but it will always be the people and the human touch that determines their effectiveness. Butte Home Health deserves a huge thank you.

I approached using BrightStar as thinking that it was a "team" event and we were working together. The only issue has been that they can't set up medications for the week. The 1st couple weeks that she needed more care, I had to find someone to come in and organize her meds for the week. I understand why but that has been the only inconvenience I would recommend them to anyone who needed some help with their loved one.

Kelly is not only a wonderful nurse, but she is a wonderful person. She put together a patient user…read morefriendly video and e-book guide on post-op surgical care. I only wish I had found her two months prior to my surgeries. I had major multiple surgeries and felt so ill-prepared for the post care. My husband was home to help me for a few days, but felt a little lost. He then had to go back to work and I was alone with our geriatric doggie and a lengthy recovery. I found Kelly, after-the-fact, and had another surgery scheduled three months later. My husband had already made arrangements to take off work for the week and help take care of me or else I would have hired Kelly because she was available. So, I did the next best thing ... I signed up for her post surgical care guide, and together my husband and I binge-watched her very informative videos, printed out and went over her e-book with step-by-step directions, tips and tricks with suggestions for helpful healing tools to purchase at the drug store, as well as yummy recipes she has for optimal nutritional healing. She also recommends an extremely helpful foam bed wedge pillow set - for back and legs support, sleeping upright, and surgical recovery, which has been the best investment, along with soft and easy convenient round sized ice packs. I could have really used them with my previous surgeries. Although Kelly and I have not met in person, which I hope we do sometime, I have spoken with her on the phone. She is very personable, helpful, compassionate, kind, sincere, trustworthy, caring and goes the extra mile to help. Seeing her in her videos, I get the feeling like I know her and I believe you will too. I truly recommend her for your personal surgical recovery nurse and/or her video and e-book surgical recovery program, which is included when you hire her for your post-op care. Follow her on Facebook and IG for her updates at KellyGreytokRN.

My health is important to me. So when facing surgery I asked my surgeon about private duty nurses…read more I was referred to Kelly Greytok. After speaking with Kelly I was confident she was the qualified processional I needed to handle my recovery care at home. Kelly not only has the medical qualification, she is a caring, compassionate person and dedicated to your recovery. I was luck she had an opening on her schedule. My aftercare, like many surgical procedures left me with multiple drains, dressing change, medications, etc. Things I was not familiar with nor prepared to deal with. Of course the print-outs and verbal instructions you receive at discharge don't truly help, even if you can remember what was said. Especially me, an accountant!! During my recovery, Kelly handled everything, she observed challenges I was experiencing and presented alternatives that made it much easier for me. Kelly keep my physician updated, trained me on doing the the drains, dressings, etc. Kelly not only provided excellent physical care, emotional support, encouragement to me, she was awesome with my best friend, Jesse James, my dog. I cannot say enough about Kelly and highly recommend her, if you are recovering at home, you need to have Kelly. Bonnie G

The case worker hasn't returned calls for weeks to us or Butte County Health. Hilariously, if you get the Nursing "Supervisor" Serena Boorman, you will get to act as her therapist for the entire visit as she complains about her fibromyalgia and that her pain is worse than her clients but she can't get a diagnosis and is forced to use the Med-Spa in Chico for chelation therapy. You'll also get the random butt dial from her car during her road rage incidents. All that said, for Skilled Nursing, the nurses are excellent.

The amount of help and assistance it provides to the community and the many contracted counties is incredibly impressive. I wish the number of patients whose lives have changed by HHCM would be on display so everyone can see what an impact this place makes. HHCM is beyond just in-home care. It helps the homeless finding housing, it provides case management to facilitate maneuvering through a confusing health system, it provides resources for better overall care, and the services go on and on. A kind of business dreamt by one individual, the CEO, who chose a career in Nursing for the intention of benefiting others. Such a bright and intelligent woman with years of experience and one who I have learned so much from in the last two months. I cannot express enough how thankful I am to be part of this group.
