It's hard to have confidence and trust in people that come into our home and replace us, even for a few hours. It's more difficult because of all the complications that our son has. We became connected with BrighStar and that has changed. At this time we are working with J.P. in Venice. It's very nice to walk out and know that Christopher is in good hands. Not only does J.P. like working with us, he likes working for Brightstar. He likes the team approach and the continuity of care that his company has in place. I heard him say this today and I knew he meant it. If an employee likes their company, that says a lot to me. Thanks, BrightStar!

I would like to urge people to not choose Tidewell Hospice for your loved ones care. They made it…read moresound like they would be there when you needed them but that was far from the truth. They definitely hastened my loved ones death and in the end we received no support. In fact the rude nurse skipped out quickly without answering our questions & the incompetent caregiver that was supposed to come for us to have a little rest canceled at the last minute. Before you sign with them carefully search your soul. Im sure you'll have a more peaceful experience without Tidewells help. I know that my deceased loved one was unhappy with them and I surely regret our decision to use Tidewell everyday!

I cannot begin to tell you all at how amazing Tidewell Hospice is. We made the decision weeks ago…read moreto put my ailing father in hospice care. When I tell you they take care of everything they do, including the family. The representative Kathy, at Sarasota Memorial handled the transportation and even contacted the Red Cross to assist my nephew, who is in the Navy, get home on leave. (His commanding officer told him he has never seen an emergency leave be done so fast and so organized). Tidewell took care of getting a hospital bed for us and all the things we need to make sure Dad is comfortable and free from pain. Melinda, his nurse is available 24/7 by phone and is a great liaison for us to the Dr. When we need medication it is delivered within 24 hours by Fedex. Then there is Rosa Hayes, our CNA, she comes 5 days a week. Rosa has become part of our family. She is so kind and gentle with Dad. She makes sure he is comfortable and clean and is so friendly and kind to us. She is so wonderful and it is obvious she loves her job. I just can't begin to give her enough praise. Tidewell even arranged to have a volunteer to sit with Dad for a couple of hours so we could go out for a little outing. Thank you so much Tidewell by making a stressful situation a little easier.

Wil also guided discussions about financial planning and continuing care. We recommend that people engage with Griswold for friends and families.
