Christus VNA Community Care

Our experience with Christus Home Health began when my father was hospitalized and preferred to go home rather than to an outpatient rehab facility following his discharge. From day one Christus have been so helpful with my father. His home health visits consisted of Speech, PT, OT, and Nursing.

Claudia, a speech therapist, has been a saving grace. She has a fantastic personality and was always working towards the goals we had for my father, as well as his own. On one occasion, Claudia had caught my father while he was suffering from low oxygen on a routine scheduled visit. She sprang into action and called me and informed me of the need of medical care. Thankfully, she was there and able to relay this life threatening need and get him the help he needed urgently.

Jessica was the nurse that my father had the majority of the time, as we requested to keep the same person to help him neurologically grasp, without a need to reset with a new person each visit. Jessica and her involvement with my father really made a difference on his ability to keep striving to be independent.

Overall, my father and I have had an exceptional experience allowing Christus Home Health into our home and hearts. The support they provided my father is irreplaceable. I know if anything happens in the future we will not hesitate to contact Wayne, the case manager, who has been so kind to help us navigate the care needed. Christus Home Health has a wonderful well respected and trusted team that whomever they send out. I have watched my father go in and out of outpatient rehabs due to health issues and he has always kept the same fantastic doctors, but without a team checking on your loved one like Christus Home Health these quick visit with providers don’t have as much substance. To have weeks worth of vitals to show my father’s primary and cardiologists has helped us determine the best care of meds and daily routines.
