Testimonials

The Case Managers at Habilitating Hands, Inc are both like smiling angels. They were able to “rescue me” after I already had a long hospital and nursing home stay during which little medical progress was made.
They were able to get my health insurance reinstated and they were able to transfer me to a physical rehabilitation facility where I began to regain my level of functioning and independence.
Since then, I have returned home and continue to make progress. I truly thought at one point that I would never get out of bed again.
They took charge of my case and managed it in a very professional manner. They provided me with personal attention and my wife and I thank them so much.

**** I want you to know how much I appreciated the services Deanna provided for my father over the years. She showed generosity and kindness, traits too few others have or ever show. I know he enjoyed Deanna and how she involved her two children. Her cheerful attitude always made meeting a pleasure. I'm sure my father felt the same way toward her. She gave him love and made him laugh, which is what I think he needed most.

For the past 14 years, Deanna and her staff have been lifesavers for my son and our family. There has never been a problem too big or too small and they are always committed to getting what is needed for our son. We are so grateful for them and for the way that they treat us like part of their “family” and not just another client.
