Thank you Natick Walpole VNA for the wonderful care I received after my hip surgery. Sioban, my Physical Therapist, is the “BEST”. Her knowledge, caring and encouragement makes you want to do your best. I truly enjoyed her visits. Laura, my Occupational Therapist, was awesome. Her willingness to spend time and share her many helpful hints was truly appreciated. I wouldn’t be where I am in my recovery if it weren’t for these two amazing women. They are wonderful assets to your agency. I will definitely recommend the Natick Walpole VNA to anyone needing help.
