Hospice Experiences

"Our family would like to thank you for your kindness and care that you gave our mother/wife. We appreciate your patience and understanding with Ma and all of us too. She was a very strong person and it was hard for her to let others take care of her. Thank you for your guidance and your support. Thank you to all the nurses who went to the house and took care of Ma and called to let us know how she was doing. Thank you to the nurse who came when Ma passed away. We will never forget everything that you did during this difficult time. All of you have a special gift to help families at such a difficult time in their lives. God Bless you."

"I wanted to thank you all for the many kindnesses you showed my Dad during his final journey. A special thank you to the nurse who collaborated so well with us in deciding how to manage the ups and downs of Dad's care. Your professional presence made the times I was absent more bearable. Another special thanks to the CNA's who always made Dad smile. He loved being "fussed over" and your care made not only his day but Mom's too. It has been a difficult, yet rewarding, experience helping my Dad over this past year. I will miss him dearly but with no regrets. You all will long be in my memory for making this journey easier."

"Our family wishes to express our appreciation to the people who took such loving care of our Mother. Your understanding of the whole process is incredible. Thank you to your nurses who were so compassionate and helpful, your music therapist who provided beautiful music and to the nurse who walked us through the dying process on her last day. Know that we will always be grateful to all of you and your wonderful program."

"We did get to know quite a few of you since he seemed to come up with some new problems every now and then that required extra visits. At no time though did anyone ever hesitate to come to solve them. You are ALL amazing people. It was a special treat for all my family to be here to see you and try to help when they could."

"My family was amazed and thankful for all the hospice team. They were all wonderful, caring, compassionate, friendly, and respectful and it was a pleasure to have them in our lives. I can't imagine going through this whole process without them."

"Each and every nurse, CNA, music therapist was so kind, thoughtful; patient focused and considerate of family and patient needs. When signing up for hospice, the nurse was excellent, discerning family concerns and a great listener. I especially appreciated the involvement of family in the plan of care, listening to our concerns. The nurses were exceptional at assessing the needs and changing the plan of care as her condition warranted."

"From the moment I called hospice I felt I had fantastic support and information regarding her condition. The nursing home staff did a wonderful job but I was always grateful for the extra care Mom received and the support I received from hospice. I am so thankful for the care and support hospice provided. Even though we were able to prepare for death, it's not easy to deal with."
