Testimonials About Skilled Nursing from our Clients
Family Care, Inc. has provided home health care and skilled nursing for members of our family for many years. To say that Claire & David Russell are "caring" is an understatement. Every employee who has provided care for our family has been contentious, loving and willing to do whatever it takes, in sometimes difficult situations caring for elderly parents. I certainly recommend calling them to see how FCI might be able to help your family.

I have been a client of FCI since 2011. After my husband passed away in 2013, the assistance FCI provided became even more valuable to me as it allowed me to remain independent and in my own home. The nurses and aides have also been kind, respectful and knowledgeable.
