Testimonials

  • Nurses Kim, Cari, Connie and Jessica were all the absolute embodiment of everything a nurse should be: Caring, Kind, Patient, Professional, Tender, Thorough and Precise. During the five weeks following my surgery, I was informed everyday of when and whom I would be seeing, the nurses were prompt and punctual, and should I have scheduling conflicts, they would cooperate seamlessly to ensure I got tended to. I cannot stress to you enough how wonderful ALL of these nurses were.

    With this consistent standard of the highest quality staff, I wouldn’t hesitate a moment in recommending Sunshine Home HealthCare in the strongest way possible to anyone looking for medical care at home. Simply put: Sunshine Home Healthcare is a first rate medical service in an industry that often seems to forget that courtesy, patience and caring is often the best medicine. Thank you Sunshine!

    Thank you to Marcie, Billie, and Pat for all of the wonderful therapy while my mom was at Vintage Park of Lenexa. She really enjoyed her therapy sessions and even commented the other day how Marcie “really makes you feel good about yourself.” Thank you all for your patience and compassion.

    -Kim H.

    My experience with Daren M. (PT) have totally changed my negative opinion about therapist. He was always punctual, helpful and considerate in developing and assisting my therapy. His manner was always pleasant and he was able to develop ways of making difficult exercises easier, keeping my pain and endurance levels in mind! None of this was what I had necessarily experienced before!

    Daren always encouraged me, giving me confidence in my own abilities to meet my physical goals, especially as he assisted the mobility chair employee “streamline” the chair so I can use it easier then I’d feared.

    I hope that Sunshine and Daren will accept my appreciation for his care! I wish him the best.
