The attendants have been caring individuals, and with good communication all directions, everybody understands what's needed. I would choose Fortis again and recommend them.

I was notified 72 hours prior that the agency I initially contacted was unable to provide services for my father.

It gives me peace and joy to know that my dad has a team of support staff that are caring and meeting him at the point of his need. I highly recommend Fortis Healthcare Services as a true partner in care.

They manage to be incredibly helpful while still remaining unobtrusive, which has made their presence natural. My loved one feels comfortable and supported rather than overwhelmed. Their scheduling flexibility has been a huge advantage as well. They have always been willing to adjust visit times or add extra support (even helping plan and cook a lunch for my loved one and her guests) when unexpected needs arise. What truly sets them apart, though, is their transparency. Their online portal gives our family detailed updates after each visit, including notes about how my loved one is doing and any observations we should be aware of. Having that level of insight and communication has given us enormous peace of mind, particularly as only some of us are local to our loved one. Our siblings living out-of-state can still feel connected and in-the-loop. I can't believe I'm the first review.

I think it's pretty safe to say it's a one of a kind (if not the only) non-profit organization / facility that allows you to drop off your child(ren) with special needs, for a day or two on the weekend to allow the parents some time of respite. Absolutely love their mission and the fact that they care specifically for an otherwise marginalized population. They have three "lodges" each with 10 rooms (half singles, half doubles), outdoor playground, pool, indoor gymnasium, chapel, a variety of rooms for computers, music, arts & crafts, sensory stimulation and quite rooms. And practically everything has a theme. It really does look like a kids' paradise...and hopefully it will be. You'll need to register on their website to utilize their services.

Unconditional love…read more As cheesy as it may sound, this place oozes unconditional love for children with special needs. From the carefully thought-out interior decor to the doting, compassionate staff, Jill's House is one of the most tangible manifestations of love for a group of children often overlooked by the general public. Jill's House is an overnight respite home for special-needs children. For the kids, it's like a fun sleepover - there's a music room with musical instruments, sing-a-long DVDs, and space to dance, a technology room with touch-screen computers, an art room, a gym, an indoor pool, a playground, and nature-themed "pods" with more games, puzzles, toys, video games, and even a movie screen (tell me you didn't have to take a breath in between reading that list). For the hard-working parents (for whom I have such great respect and admiration), it's a chance for them to have a night to themselves. Furthermore, Jill's House is an incredibly safe place for these children. The intake coordinators are very detailed in recording each individual child's diet restrictions, medical concerns, and methods of communication. They also make sure to give the parents (and the child) a tour of the facility beforehand. The intake coordinators, then, propagate all of this information to the staff who work directly with the children. Now, the staff are a group of people who are not only efficient caretakers, but are also genuinely loving people. It's apparent that the children quickly form bonds with the staff and recognize them when they return. It's heartwarming to witness. I could go on and on, but (as another review has pointed out) it might be easier to just visit the website or call. Ultimately, this facility houses an amazing group of workers and a precious group of kids.

Dr. Murphy is a kind and knowledgeable individual. He has been in practice many years and knows many area doctors and specialists. He has a soft manner which my child found comforting. I appreciated how thorough he was in discussing everything. I appreciate his conservative watch-and-see approach to most things. He doesn't push antibiotics for minor things, and they are able to run basic tests like an ear infection in office so there is no going to the lab. The only down side of Dr. Murphy which ultimately led to us transferring care to Dr. Staats was that he always runs behind. Like, HOURS behind. I would intentionally get the first appointment of the day, but they would take sick patients before that. That means my 9:00am appointment would end up as an 11:30 appointment. Waiting for 2.5 hours in a boring room with a toddler is a special type of hell. So we switched to... Dr. Staats is a impeccably on time. We have never waited longer than 15 minutes past our allotted time. Her demeanor is very different from Dr. Murphy in that she is a bit more distant. She is still kind and seems to genuinely like kids (astonishingly not all peds do). We have been very happy with her care and our ease in scheduling sick visits. The office staff leaves something to be desired. The front desk seems to have a lot of turn over. Often, the women working the front desk seem confused and unsure of what they are meant to do. For example, I paid cash at the last visit, and the woman seemed astonished and confused when I asked for a receipt to prove payment. It took several minutes of waiting for one to be generated. The nurses are nice and are diligent with giving immunizations. they make sure to show you the exact medication which is being given as well as the date showing that it has not expired. I appreciate this kind of attention to detail. I do wish that the Well and Sick area were more clearly defined. For example, there is Well seating which contains no toys and Sick seating which has all of the toys. Try keeping a Well kid away from Sick toys. Overall, we are happy and will continue with the practice.
