Nurse from Living Waters appeared at door, unannounced shortly on my return from hospital. Was not informed nurse was coming and never given a choice.\r
Being taken by surprise, I asked her to leave, though I did let her in briefly. -------------------\r
\r
Agency then calls, trying to convince me I need nurse. Foolishly, I relent. Another nurse is sent. It was clearly self-serving that this nurse would tell me how complications of medical problem would require me to have a nurse for a long time. Basically, she took it upon herself to diagnose a spot on an X-ray that even the doctor's couldn't be sure about.-----------------\r
\r
Pleased to say that the possible scare turned out to be a false alarm. Nurse did almost nothing, even came in once claiming there was emergency, with one of her family members in car. Assuming a medical problem, I rushed nurse thru the useless vitals she took. When I asked what the medical problem was, I was told it was about ""immigration"". What? I didn't know there were immigration emergencies like this.\r
--------------------\r
\r
This made it VERY easy to finally rid myself of this service. I had tried to terminate service, but was confronted by a torrent of ""friendly"" conversation. She knew her services were unnecessary and I knew it.--------\r

I would suggest one finds a real agency with REAL nurses if the need arises. Having your temperature, BP taken are silly-unless of course there's a good reason. Medicare fraud abounds, these people are at the forefront.
Pros: always on time
Cons: push to provide service, given by questionable staff
