Jo Howard

My Approach to Care

“I believe in providing empathetic and sensitive care, drawing on nearly two decades of professional experience. My goal is to support you through what can be difficult, life-changing situations, helping you to live as fully and independently as possible.”

Why Choose Home Visits?

Recovering in your own environment is often more effective than visiting a clinic. We eliminate the stress of travel and waiting rooms, allowing us to assess your mobility where it matters most—safely in your own home. This approach is central to Medella’s mission of helping older adults regain independence without the hassle of hospital appointments.
