I took care of my brother in law for 3 years with the support of the wonderful staff of Androscoggin Home Healthcare. They were professional and compassionate. They not only took care of him, but us as well. It was a less stressful time due to their hard work and care. I came online to find their website so I can donate to this wonderful organization.

Horrible experience with this company. This is the second time (8 years apart) my father has had someone from this company come in for an assessment of his care levels and they have been told to leave both times due to rude, unprofessional and judgmental attitudes from the worker. No compassion or care shown on their parts and the supervisors defend their behavior.

Awful experience, the nurses act really unprofessional, I will recommend anyone who needs nurses for help to go through other health care services. If I could rate 0 stars I would.
