I am deeply disappointed by my experience with Amedisys, and I feel it's important to share this to…read morehelp other families navigating end-of-life care. My mother is currently under their hospice services in a nursing home, and she made it very clear to me that she did not want to spend her final days there--she wanted to come home to be surrounded by family in a peaceful, familiar environment. We had everything in place: a new hospice provider ready to support us and a certified nursing assistant (CNA) lined up for her care at home, specifically for when she becomes unresponsive with no fluid or food intake during her last days. However, the hospice case worker from Amedisys strongly discouraged this move and influenced my siblings to keep Mom in the nursing home, even though it went against her stated wishes. When I asked why she was advising against something that would bring our family more comfort, she didn't offer a clear explanation. She emphasized that Mom was "comfortable" there, but this was only a short-term arrangement since we initially lacked the resources to bring her home--Mom had no other option then and adapted as best she could. Once our plan was ready, the case worker continued to push back. I directly asked what specific care Mom would receive in the nursing home that couldn't be provided at home, given that she will soon be unresponsive, with a full-time catheter, no fluid or food intake, and only basic needs like repositioning every few hours and medication. The case worker couldn't give a concrete answer--it came down to general statements without details. It seems this may have been motivated by financial considerations, as changing providers would mean Amedisys no longer billing for her care. This approach felt more focused on business interests than on the emotional needs of families or the patient's preferences. What kind of hospice prioritizes its own processes over what could provide the most peace in a loved one's final days? This doesn't feel like truly compassionate care--it's more like a service that overlooks family dynamics, and it has strained our relationships at a challenging time. If you're looking into Amedisys, I suggest considering other options. Choose providers that genuinely focus on patients and families above all else. I wouldn't recommend them. It's truly sad that my siblings agreed with this decision, leading Mom to spend her final days in a place she specifically said she didn't want to be.

this company does not even deserve a score as high as 1. Please read the reviews on them on here…read moreand on BBB website before trusting your love ones with them. They use APS as a way to try to bullying you into not asking questions. example- my sister has had brain cancer for 30 years (according to her) then last month she told me she had been misdiagnosed and was completely cancer free. She even ask me to buy her a car since she was now cleared to drive. 3 weeks later I get a message from a social worker at Amedisys saying she was calling about a "former patient" my sister. I called her back and asked why she was calling if my sister was a former patient. she started yelling at me telling me she did not call her a former patient. I tried to calm her down and tell her she did but if she misspoke that is ok, I am just trying to figure out who I am talking to. she continued to scream at me telling me I miss heard. so asked if we could just move on to what is going on with my sister. the next words out of her mouth were you have the means so you need to provide help for your sister. I ask what help. my sister just told me she is doing great and the doctors have even cleared her to drive. I followed with what is going on with my sister because you saying she needs help and what she is telling me is two different things. she started screaming at me again telling me that she is the professional and that if she say she needs help then then my sister needs help. I told her I am allowed to ask questions and that all I want is to do is figure out what is going on and why she needs help. she tells me that my sister is a fall risk because she is on opioids and that she needs someone to come by twice a week to clean her house and help her prepare meals. So I asked if she is a fall risk is 2 days a week enough? she again starts yelling at me. I tired to explain that I am just trying to figure out what is going on and why I am getting different stories so I tell her about my sister telling me she was given permission to drive by the doctor. she says she has no problem with my sister driving and told her that. I said I have a problem with telling someone on Opioids they can drive. that is DUI. she starts yelling again telling me she is the professional not me. I asked her for her company name and told her I would call them because she obviously was not going to talk to me like a professional. I called the company within 10 minutes (I had to find the number online because she would not give it to me, and told them about my phone call. I explain to them my concerns. 1. if my sister is a fall risk to the point she needs help 2 days a week, what happens if she fall on the other 5 days? should we also get her a button to push to report if she falls and can't get up? is 2 days enough? does she need 4 days or should we consider a full time living place. 2. I asked them to have a nurse or doctor look at her file and tell me what they recommend. they said they would get with the nurse that knows my sister the best and get back to me in 24-48 hours. 3. I asked them what their thoughts were on the social worker telling my sister she can drive while on opioids. They told me that was ok, if they think it is safe they have no problem with her driving while taking opioids. I told her that I disagreed with that and I feel like driving on opioids is DUI. i finished the phone call by telling them to please get back to me with me as soon as possible so we can get started getting my sister what she needs. While I was on the phone with them the social worker was calling the states APS department and telling them that is was refusing to get my sister the care she needed. I never once refused to get the care. If anything I was questioning if the care they recommended was enough. but after reading the BBB reviews and other reviews on this company it is clear that are not professional and that all they care about is money. they use reporting people, there are reviews exactly like mine, when they question them. I supplied the state case worker with all the info including the voice mail and other messages, the conversation with the hospice worker office, my phone records of where I called them and they did not call me back. she was very apologetic for what happened and was going to look into the company. If you are a hateful person and want to punish your family member, call this company to take care of them. if you love your family take the time to review this company before hiring them!

At my wife's prompting, I reluctantly went to see Dr. Conti at Conti Chiropractic Center in Hackensack, NJ who she heard about from a friend. Wow, what a refreshing difference ! First time at CCC I sat with Dr. Bob for a detailed conversation about my pain and my medical history. Then he put me on a table with rollers for my back and electrical muscle stimulation for my neck and back for 20 minutes ! I could not get over the attention I received at his office. I walked in hunched over and by the time I left I was standing up straight. And every visit afterwards I felt better and better. I also don't want to forget the office staff. I don't care if a doctor gets a 5 star rating, if i'm not treated well by the staff I will not be going back there. The staff here, Jess and Fran, and Dr. Conti's wife Mindy, are friendly, gentle and compassionate. There's an overall feeling of relaxation in the atmosphere of this office. If you need a chiropractor go see him. I'm so glad I took the step, one of the best decisions I've made for my well being.

Here is some additional info. My boyfriend went here. After a treatment was administered incorrectly, he shared my BFs info (w/o permission!) with some friend that runs a free clinic. See, he must have known that something went wrong with his procedure, cause he was ready to send my BF to this free clinic when he called the doc the next morning complaining that he was numb from the waist down. Obviously, my BF saw through this shady charade, and went to a real hospital, where he found out that he needed surgery due to this guys poor ability to do his job. He had 2 surgeries (the first one failed) and now forever has pain, and has no feeling in one foot, among other scattered pains all due to one procedure gone wrong, by an unskilled doctor. so again I implore you, DO NOT GO HERE.
