Hospice was called in for my step-father. This was after years of treatment for cancer. He got to…read morethe point where continuing treatment was to difficult. It got to the point where multiple family members had to stay at night to sleep in shifts. He is constantly up and down and it has become to difficult for the family to manage. Crisis care was called in to assist with the transition. Most of the nurses were extremely helpful and understanding. That was until Sara showed up to "evaluate" the need to be here. Sara showed up and did not even introduce herself to the family. She sat in her car for, I don't know how long. As my step father would move from room to room she would stay in a separate room and assisted very little with anything. She had minimum involvement with anything besides her phone and computer. She advised the decision was being made to cancel their care because his symptoms were manageable. The nurse who was here the previous 12 hours could only show it being managed for 1/4 of the time she was here. Sara informed us that doctor Donnard (not sure if the spelling is correct) was making the call. When asked to speak to the doctor she said the best she could do was try to have them call us. When asked for the doctors boss Sara replied she does not know. This has been a horrendous experience on top of the years spent going through this. The company has advised they will be sending another nurse. Hopefully this one has more tact and professionalism than Sara. Will update review based on visit. *Update* The nurse sent after has been amazing. She was attentive and responsive to the needs of my step-father. It appears the issue was with the individual nurse and not the company.

They were looking out for our needs, offering food, drink, extra chairs when people visited, and a rollaway bed when we couldn't bring ourselves to leave. Fairhope is a blessing to our community

My mother entered hospital with a thoracic spine compression fx, and mild UTI . She had no significant medical history , lived independently (NO terminal diagnosis) We had just gone shopping and out to lunch, days prior. My mother was given Haldol an antipsychotic drug which along with the unpleasant hospital experience, created known delirium, in the fragile and elderly. The POA ( anxious to receive his inheritance) moved her to hospice where she was promptly rendered unconscious (medical coma) with the administering of Morphine and sedatives. She went from talking animatedly with plans of returning home, to unresponsive within an hour, never to regain consciousness, and within 2 days was experiencing labored breathing, drowning in her own secretions.

The staff was caring and professional. This is not a job for them, it is a calling. They actually cared. The rooms were clean and well furnished.

His room had a view overlooking the river and wonderful flowers. I was impressed with the appearance and feel of the room. Unlike a hospital which is dark, cramped, and has an uneasy feel, the rooms in the hospice were spacious, warm, and comfortable. The colors were pleasing, there was room for the family to sit at a table, a pull out sofa, and multiple chairs. The staff was incredible. In addition to taking excellent care of my grandfather, they took care of the family. If the door was closed they always knocked first. When they checked and asked If they needed to get anything for him, they asked if we needed anything. The hospice has a large kitchen area that provides a snacks, lunch meat, tea, etc. for the family. They also provide a soup lunch daily. I was with the family for three days and we always tried the soup. It was excellent and quickly became a favorite of my grandmother. It takes a special person to work in hospice care. The experience was difficult going through it once; I cannot imagine doing that on a daily basis with multiple patients. I am thankful there are those who do it and provide wonderful care to the family and patients.
