I was able o get in touch with the sweetest, most comforting & knowledgeable on-call hospice nurse I've ever come across at 10:30pm! Her name, I think, was Sonia. As comforting as our conversation was it was also educational. She reassured me that picking a hospice is like buying a car. If you don't like it you move on to the next until you find one to suit your needs. She empowered me & encouraged me--SO wasn't expecting it to be such an uplifting call. I can tell with this short encounter that my grandfather will be in the hands of some amazing & smart angel nurses & loving care I doubt I could find anywhere else. My grandpa also is not English speaking & she told me they have some nurses available that do speak our language & are familiar with our culture. I wish she could be my personal nurse every day to speak encouraging things to me every day! We haven't even entered with their program & I love it it already. Before searching anywhere else for hospice--coming from an anxious & worried granddaughter-- please give Comfort Hospice a call first. They literally answer your call at ungodly hours like I called & they don't even mind.

I'm especially directing this review towards the hospice team that came into my patents's home to provide hands on care. We were very fortunate to have Alyssa, Trey, and La Sarita help us out. They were excellent communicators and very caring and competent. They exhibited great teamwork. They addressed our questions without making us feel like we were wasting their time. An additional note. After my Dad passed, just 13 days after entering hospice, my Mom did not want to sleep in her bedroom alone. Gracious Care Hospice made arrangements so we could keep my Dad's rented hospital bed so I could sleep next to her and hold her hand as she grieved the loss of her husband of 68 years. That act was outside of the hospice routine, but was a key to helping my Mom pass peacefully, 17 days later. Thank you, Gracious Care Hospice.

CarePartners was recommended by our OHSU Palliative Care Specialist. They were absolutely fantastic in our time of need. They not only helped us with the physical care of my husband's mother but the caregivers were wonderful as emotional support for my husband when they came into the house. They were so easy to work with and did a great job of preparing us for the progression of her disease and what we could expect. It's been a year since her passing and we still receive compassionate reach outs from the office to see how we are doing. They even informed us of bereavement groups we could attend after her passing. We are so grateful for CarePartners. They are the BEST!

My brother-in-law has stage four lung and bone cancer caused by exposure to agent orange during the Viet Nam war. He is spending his last days at home, being cared for by my sister. We originality hired a different hospice care company, but after several serious mistakes they admitted they were too short-handed to do the job, so we switched to Seasons after their saleswoman assured us they would continue with the same meds and oxygen equipment he had with the first company. First thing, My BIL is on an oxygen generator twenty-four hours a day. with a large emergency bottle in case of power failure.Seasons did not bring out the large bottle of oxygen, which had been provided by the first company. When contacted, the Seasons supervisor said that Medicare would not pay for the emergency bottle under their contract, and that if we were worried about him suffocating during a power failure, it was up to us to buy a gas powered electric generator. When told that the saleswoman had promised that Seasons would provide all that the previous company had, the supervisor said, "We'll have a talk with her..." Next...my BIL has been on two Lidocaine pain patches a day for some time. When we tried to order them, we were told Seasons does not provide them under their 'formulary.'(?) When we pointed out that the saleswoman had promised two a day, we were told that they would have a talk with her, but that we would have to purchase them ourselves. My BIL needs to cath six times a day, and, after trying a number of types of catheters, found one type that was easiest to use. When we asked Seasons for them, we were told the type he had been using were too expensive, and if he needs them we'll have to buy them ourselves, and that the sales woman should not have told us Seasons would provide them, but that they would have a talk with her... The main excuse Seasons gives us for all the problems is that each hospice company has its own individual contract with Medicare, and that they will only provide services, equipment, and medications that fall within their contract. For us, its a guessing game. We'd switch to another provider, but our luck doing that has been so bad that we're afraid to try it again. And to be quite honest, at this most horrible and trying time in our lives, they've managed to wear us down. If you're considering hospice care for a loved one, MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING, or better yet, tape-record the salesperson's initial pitch. And if you are considering Seasons, just remember that to them you are not a family in need of care, but a dollar sign.
