In the words of the families we serve.

In early 2025 my mother, who was 98 at the time and lived alone but had daytime aides, had a fall and needed nursing services. Within an hour of calling Marianne, she arrived at my mother’s apartment and stayed until one of her nurses arrived. Thus began 12-hour nighttime nursing shifts until my mother passed away in November of 2025. Marianne’s nursing team were amazing, caring, and adapted to my mother’s needs as her health declined during the year. Marianne was always there for me to update and explain my mother’s declining condition. Thanks to Marianne and her team, I was able to give my mother her wish of passing in her own apartment and her own bed. I can honestly say that without Marianne and her team I don’t know how I would have gotten through the year, particularly since I live in Los Angeles and my mother lived in New York. I highly recommend Marianne and her team to everyone in need of nursing services.

I hate agencies, and spoke to many before Select Nursing was recommended to me. Speaking to Marianne instantly felt like home. Marianne has an uncanny ability to hand-select each nurse in accordance with your family’s unique personalities and needs. She and her team of highly qualified nurses are extraordinarily experienced, professional and attentive. The team she has assembled is not only dedicated and experienced but goes far and above the call of duty. They strive every day to not only care for my husband but to show him great love and joy. My husband has flourished under their very capable hands. We couldn’t be more pleased with Select Nursing and believe one would definitely be remiss to not hire them immediately.

Marianne and Select Nursing were instrumental in caring for both of my parents as they entered at-home Hospice care. Our family felt well taken care of during this difficult time. Marianne communicated quickly and managed her staff efficiently; each nurse was loving, respectful, and professional. We are happy to recommend them to others.

Select Nursing cared for our 81 year old Dad who had advanced Stage 4 kidney cancer. Marianne’s nurses are of the highest caliber — experienced, skilled, attentive, and with excellent bedside manner. Every time we required nursing for our Dad, she often had someone at our door within hours of calling and she scaled the staffing up or down as needed, including 24/7 care through hospice and the end of our father’s life. The communication was very important and seamless — her nurses stayed in close touch with one another so everyone was always up to speed, and also with our Dad’s primary care physician. When he was hospitalized and we needed extra hands, Marianne’s team advocated for him at his bedside which made everything much less stressful on our family. At the hardest time in our lives, they gave us the peace of mind we needed most. We can’t recommend Marianne and Select Nursing highly enough.

I met Marianne Ryan several years ago after being introduced to her by the Geriatric Center at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center. My mother was in need of home care since she was going to be discharged from the hospital. The day I contacted Marianne, she was headed out of town; however, she was incredibly gracious, helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to help. She made several suggestions and was kind enough to offer her services as soon as she returned from visiting her family overseas.

Despite her incredibly busy schedule, Marianne was always available for me, my family, and especially for my mother. She has a comforting spirit that made me feel confident taking her direction regarding my mother’s wellbeing. She is certain of what needs to be done, and never sugar coats tough realities, but always delivers guidance with great bedside manner. Marianne is disciplined with the work requirements that each aide performs and ensures each aide is diligent in their tasks to maintain continuity for my mother.

Without hesitation, I recommend Marianne Ryan to anyone in need of assistance taking care of an elderly parent.
