      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Vitalis  Health & Home care service was excellent and greatly appreciated once I left hospital. It meant that I didn’t have to go to a specialised rehab centre but could go home. The Physio & nurse were friendly, helpful & reliable.

They made a very unexpected and painful post-op recovery period as stress-free as possible. Thank you Kelly, Cara, Nicki, and Sharon - I would have been lost without you!

Vitalis provided excellent care and all Nurses who attended were very experienced and knowledgeable and performed service with great empathy & understanding. Absolutely recommend Vitalis for anyone requiring in-house medical care.
