"Kelly came into my life when I needed her most. I had been diagnosed with cancer, started with chemotherapy, but since the death of my husband I had no support system in place. A nurse at my oncologist's office recommended Kelly, and I have to honestly say she is saving my life.
Kelly has had years of experience as a hospital nurse, but brings a holistic approach to her practice, thoughtfully integrating common sense dietary and physical well-being experience with conventional medical practices. She is a person who brings positive energy into any room she enters and explains things that you are experiencing in a way that makes you feel like you are in the best hands (her business name is aptly named "Kelly's Healing Hands"). She goes way beyond traditional home nursing care to make her clients feel positive, almost pampered, and still manages to provide excellent nursing.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Koeslag to anyone in need of home nursing care, especially to those, like me, who are facing life-threatening challenges."

"I obtained Kelly's contact details from my surgeon at my pre-operative consultation. During this appointment, I indicated that I was looking for assistance for an overnight stay in my home, on the first day after my surgery. Upon reaching out to Kelly, she responded quickly and was very accommodating, ensuring that she could meet my needs effectively. I had an outstanding experience with her! She joined me during my post-op recovery and communicated with the nurses and staff at the surgery center on my behalf. Shortly after, she drove me home. From then on, she picked up my RX medication, made sure I took them on time and even prepared meals for me; she was incredibly attentive! I didn’t have to stress about anything being overlooked. She managed all of it seamlessly and even went the extra mile by assisting with my two affectionate cats! Having surgery can be quite overwhelming. By choosing to hire Kelly, you will benefit from the support of a truly compassionate and dedicated professional. I can’t imagine a more ideal way to start your recovery journey!"

"Kelly’s Healing Hands Concierge Service was brought into my life by what I consider, “Divine Intervention.” I needed help with a digestive disease, gastroparesis, particularly nutritional advice, and I truly received it and so much more! Kelly is an energetic, professional, knowledgeable registered nurse who practices love and care with a holistic approach. She has brought so much help to me as I struggled with many different issues. Her “Healing Hands,” have brought physical comfort with massages as well as practical suggestions which also introduced new ways of approaching life as a senior citizen. I feel so blessed!
Kelly quickly became a new member of our family, and my husband and I have been helped, not only nutritionally but with health, pain and emotional issues as well. She has brought helping, as well as healing hands, to our lives, and her compassion and joy for living are contagious. Kelly has become our sunshine during a very stressful time in our lives. She has taught us about gratitude and appreciation and has brought emotional support to us both.
I urge you to give yourself the GIFT of having Kelly help heal you!"
— Mary Jo, Private Concierge Patient
"I can’t say enough good things about the quality of care that I received from Kelly following my surgery. Kelly went above and beyond, not only during our week together, but before she even worked with me, reaching out to my doctors to become familiar with my medical history and needs. She’s not only knowledgeable and thorough, she is incredibly caring and compassionate. Her positivity was exactly what I needed. I remain grateful for the care she provided."
— Charlotte, Private Concierge Patient
"If you are looking for or in need of a kind, caring and compassionate nurse, then you have found the right person in Kelly.
After a fall, I was in need of wound care. Kelly advised me of how to take care of my wounds, monitored my vitals, checked in with me daily to see how my wounds were healing and kept me informed step-by-step on what I could expect during the healing process.
I am so grateful that she was the nurse for me when I needed one."
"I had the privilege of using Kelly’s services following a cosmetic surgery. She is one of the kindest, most caring & empathetic people I’ve ever met. From start to finish my experience was exceptional.
During our consult she answered all my questions and made me feel 100% confident that all my post op needs would be met. She brought me a cooler with homemade soup and healthy snacks the day before my surgery so I would have plenty of hydration and nutrition for a quick recovery.
Kelly went above and beyond to make sure I was icing on time, taking pain meds to stay comfortable, kept my family informed and updated the surgeon on my status.
If you are having any kind of procedure, surgery or need help with nursing needs, I highly recommend Kelly for your care. She is the best around & will make your recovery a pleasant experience."
— Allyson, Lakewood Ranch, patient with Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center
"Kelly first came to our house 3 days after I had shoulder replacement surgery. I can’t tell you how happy I was to see her. She was so kind, caring and reliable, couldn’t do enough to help, even making fresh juice for me every day and providing much good advice and information to speed my recovery.
Having her help was transformative; she got me showered and dressed, improved a post surgery rash, dried my hair, and when I was ready to go out put on some make up. But the most helpful thing was her cheerful, positive presence, which made every day better. I have made an excellent recovery thanks to Kelly’s help, and can’t recommend her highly enough."
— Jan, patient with STORZO Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine
"Should you ever find yourself in need of in-home nursing care, for yourself or a loved one, please consider Kelly, R.N. for that job.
Kelly was integral in assisting my mother as she progressed through the various stages of Alzheimer's disease. She was patient, kind, caring, professional, and extremely competent. She showed the patience to handle whatever came her way (often unexpected and without warning) and the know how to do so, properly.
Kelly, somehow could always find the ability to sooth and calm her when agitation set in. Or, get her to eat when no one else could convince her to do so. My mom would barley let anyone else bathe her, trim her hair, etc. In keeping with Kelly's naturally cheerful personality, it would be common to even hear my mother laugh out loud when Kelly was with her. What a gift that was!
It was Kelly that noticed the signs of a urinary tract infection in my mother. That might have ended much more difficultly without her early observation, which turned out to be exactly correct.
So, needless to say, I could not more highly recommend Kelly and the service she provides. She was a godsend to myself, and more importantly to my mother. I am and will be ever grateful to have had the blessing of this lady's kindness, caring, and professional competence.
You would be hard pressed to find that combination at the level you will receive from Kelly, I assure you!"
