No. 01 · The hours nobody plans for
Most hard nights at home happen after the office closes.
A fever that climbs after supper. A dressing that slips at midnight. A husband who suddenly can't catch his breath. Peg Lindsey spent her first nursing years on night shift, and when she took over Massard she rebuilt it around those hours: a registered nurse on call every night who can read your chart, talk you through what is happening and drive out if you need her.
In the daytime we are what a good home health agency should be. Nurses and therapists who know Garrison Avenue from Greenwood Road, visits that start on time, and a team that speaks English, Spanish and Vietnamese, because Fort Smith does.

Sample family reviews
Letters from the valley
Dad's oxygen dropped at one in the morning. The nurse on the phone had his chart open before I finished my sentence, and she stayed on with me until he was breathing easy.
The nurse spoke Vietnamese with my grandmother. For the first time, she asked her own questions about her medicine.
The therapist measured my bathroom doorway, my steps and my bed height before we did a single exercise. Then we practiced on all of it.
They had the first visit set up before we pulled out of the hospital parking lot.
Six weeks of wound care, twice a week, and my nurse never once was late without calling first.
