Lynden Nursing Service

Most Unilocalers use Unilocal reviews to search out new restaurants, share their thoughts and assessments on dining experiences, good and bad, and for some, especially the Elite Unilocalers, to engage in the myriad of social activities sponsored by Unilocal,or by fellow Unilocalers through UYE’s. Of course, reviews are also written for hotels, various service providers, hair and nail salons, and dozens of other types of businesses. I’m not sure how many reviews are written about nursing services or other providers of service which focus on health needs. Well, here’s mine, as I know some of my fellow Unilocalers may one day have a need for such a service.
For the last 6 months I was engaged in overseeing care provided at home, and eventually in hospice, for my 90 year old cousin, Edythe. During that time, I had the need for at-​home nursing aides for cousin Edythe, and called upon Lynden Nursing Service to do so. I was impressed with their efficiency, especially their ability to handle everything via telephone, and to respond to urgent needs.
There were situations which really demanded logistic sensitivity and prompt responsiveness, in a very short window of time. As an example, the time when Edythe fell in her apartment (even though she insisted the wall telephone flew out from the wall and knocked her over), and she was seen in the ER, and when I was advised of her release, I did not want her to return to her Kings Point condo and not have anyone to be with her to make sure she would be OK during that night and following day.
I called Lynden, and explained that I needed an aide in Delray Beach in no more than 90 minutes, that she had to speak without a heavy accent, and further explained some of Edythe’s unique health challenges, to be certain they sent «the right person». They did!
Trust me, it isn’t easy to find «the right person», when it comes to nursing services and their aides. It is actually far more difficult and challenging than it is, let’s say, for a hot, sexy, very bright, well educated, well employed, straight (or close to it) woman to find a 30ish guy with the same characteristics. Now, that caught your attention, huh, assuming you read this far.
Well, Lynden identified the right people, and responded to my compulsive lawyer-​like former Federal government senior-​level employee mentality of not allowing anything to slip through the cracks, taking nothing for granted, and expecting nothing less than excellence.
Edythe’s last month of life had numerous challenges. When she was in hospice for 13 nights, attended for those nights with 15 hour shifts by one of their young aides (TAVIA), or when she transitioned to assisted living and was attended by another awesome aide (TEKEIRA) to help close out everything in her condo, take her clothes shopping, and re-​assuirng her that everything would be ok, my life was made all the easier for the outstanding professional, reliable, and sensitive nursing aid service provided.
If you have a need for an aging relative, you’ll be well served by using this agency.
