Their professionalism, kindness and compassion at a difficult time meant more than my words can express.

They act like they are trying but simply can't get it together. communication or scheduling is a shit show, not sure exactly what the issue is. Seems like a bunch of people who simply aren't qualified to do their jobs. I would of had less grief and head aches if they weren't in the picture. Using pathways will result in your dying family member not getting the care they deserve. Please go elsewhere! I was reccomend by the VA. I will be calling them also to communicate my dissapointment because it makes me sick to know that people who have done so much for our country in the last fase of life are getting the bottom of the barrel treatment.

Linda Wurth of Better Care Choices knew who to call, how to set up tours of the best options, what questions to ask. With her help, I was able to make a decision within about a week.

My experience with Alameda Care Hospice was a mixed bag, ultimately ending very sadly. I'm not sure…read morewhat happened, but communication and consistency were ongoing issues that progressively worsened. At first, there was consistency in who showed up and knew what our options were, but as time went by, we wouldn't know who was coming and when. Initially, I could call the 888 number anytime and get a caring person with good advice, but later, that devolved sometimes to an answering agency delivering messages or someone answering who didn't seem to know what was going on. There were changes in nurses and varying times of day to come over, sometimes with little to no advance notice. The last day my mother was alive, the nurse wasn't here by 1 p.m., even though she said she'd be here that day. Mom was transitioning and in her final days or hours. My call at 1 p.m. took several rings, and I was told I needed to speak to someone else, only to be transferred to voicemail. An hour later, I called back, and there seemed to be confusion. I was told no nurse was coming but one (some different would be here the next day) The next day never came as Mom took her last breath Tuesday at 7:09pm and when i called the 888 number It rang many times , eventually an after hours answering service picked up. It took about 40 minutes for me to hear back from Alameda Care hospice at which someone came over later to verify Moms death, This is now Friday night , 72 hours later, and there has been no word from Alameda Care hospice. I would expect something. I have shared, and continue to share this experience with anyone who would like to hear.

I called Nora on Thursday, met with her Friday, and had a wonderful caregiver (Jasmin) set for Saturday. Throughout the process Nora was kind, professional and attentive. She was flexible with the schedule, as we often didn't know until a day or two prior what the needs would be. When a change of caregiver was required due to schedule, Nora herself showed up to make sure they were oriented properly. I highly recommend BayCare Givers.

It creates a safe and welcoming environment for both patients and staff. It is a facility where professionalism, teamwork, and compassion are clearly prioritized. It is a place where I would be honored in pursuing employment after completing my clinicals. During my clinical experience, I felt encouraged to learn and was consistently supported by staff who were willing to share their knowledge while maintaining a strong focus on proper patient centered care. Having a grandfather with Parkinson's disease deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, dignity, and compassionate care; values that Creekview consistently demonstrates. I am truly appreciative of the professionalism and empathy shown by the entire team, and I would feel very confident entrusting my own family's care to this facility. Overall, Creekview reflects excellence in both care and workplace culture.

Luckily, I was able to get him transferred to Creekview, where he thrived. The physical, occupational, and speech therapists were outstanding.

The facility is gorgeous and welcoming and the rooms very pleasant; not institional at all. The staff is very caring. They paid attention to my husband's dietary needs, yet the food was pretty good for a nursing facility.
