Please look at my orchid

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I live in SW Florida, I've inherited several orchids from my mother that I'm trying to keep alive & healthy. I don't know the type of orchid as she did not have labels on them. They seem to have very leggy stalks. Some w/stalks only, some w/leaves at the ends of the long stalks & some w/leaves & roots sprouting at the end of the stalk. I'm feeling they should be re-potted & perhaps 'reshaped' somehow. I've spent quite a bit of time searching the internet, but can only seem to find info about pruning the bloom stalks. I'd like to know if these long stalks should be pruned in some way, they just don't seem to look like the healthy orchids I've seen on the internet. I've attache 4 photos in hopes that it will help my explanation.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
