Instead, we were put in direct contact with the owner Josie that night. She could not have been more supportive and compassionate with us when we explained what we needed. She immediately sprang into action and came up with a care plan for us that enabled us to keep our family member at home. The quality of care that was provided was top notch and I cannot recommend it enough. I gave them 5 stars, as the top rating on this site but I would gladly give them 10. If you want to get top notch quality care for your loved one, please contact Josie and be assured that you are getting them the best care available.

I can't express enough the overall care and compassion Josie had for my mother and I when we met. She was so incredibly helpful in getting everything set up for mom's home care. Her amazing staff of nurses are absolute angels in my opinion. They were so kind and gentle in caring for my mother, Especially Sally. Josie was so easy to reach and when I had a last minute change in nursing needs for mom, She and her staff made it happen seamlessly and immediately. If you ever find yourself in need for in home care, and if I ever require it again, Josie will definitely be my absolute first call. I believe there are some people in this world that are the best at what they do and Josie and her staff are exactly that!

I used Vitas Healthcare for Hospice services on two occasions in the last year. Their process and…read moreteam are wonderful, compassionate and they do a wonderful job adding to the support available to help your love one die in dignity. My mother was in an Arlington nursing home and hospice services are by no means provided automatically....in many cases if not most, especially when your loved one is in a nursing home, you would have to advocate to start services which are provided as part of Medicare. In our case Vitas did a thorough initial assessment (on two occasions) and during this assessment they look at medical supports/medications and social supports. In terms of medical support they made recommendations for the nursing home to discontinue medications that were not providing comfort for my mother. Overall that is what they focus on....what supports can be provided to provide dignity and comfort....For example if a medication is addressing some medical problem but the side effects don't provide comfort for the person, palliative care would dictate that they be considered for removal with medical supervision of the facility weighing in as well. Vitas in our case made weekly nursing visits with an RN experienced in end-of-life care and in most cases we got phone updates weekly or whenever requested. Vitas also provided monthly social work visits with a focus on client wellbeing and consideration of family support and issues. Our social worker read and sang or played songs to my mother although we had a funny miscommunication that resulted in my mother hearing showboat tunes instead of show tunes.....but that was kind of funny and I don't think my mother probably noticed....too much. Vitas also sent non-denominational chaplain and between our team of chaplain, nurse and social worker as well as the nursing home staff, we were able to enhance the quality of mother's end of life far more than if we had just relied on nursing home care. I can recommend Vitas for end-of-life hospice services without reservation. Also Vitas provides the surviving family members additional supports such as grief support groups and suggestions for healing.

my father was referred to this company through his oncologist and if I would of known what I did…read morenow I would of never contacted them. To begin with in Total we may of saw them a total of 5 times, the doctor came and started his medications and we thought it was off to a good start but once they started his aid coming out we had to request that she didn't come because her bedside manner is terrible, she had no respect when it came to my father and tried to get in And out as fast as possible she wasn't ever there for longer than 15 minutes. When she was giving him a bath she scrubbed him so hard it left marks on him and we had to tell her multiple times to be gentle, so much so the nurse that was there one time saw how rough she was and pulled her to the side asking her to be more gentle. So after that I just continued doing everything myself instead of trusting anyone else from the company to come out because I wanted my dad to be comfortable in his final days. She was asked multiple times to bring supplies but it got to the point where we had to buy most of the stuff out of pocket. The nurse was great she went out of her way sometimes and did things she didnt have to. we had to wait almost a week for his medications because the company/pharmacy wasn't coordinated well and it was definitely difficult for him when he didn't have the medicine he needed. He was placed on intermitted care and was to have someone come out daily and always be ready for the call, well that time came and we were told to wait until 12 AM at night for them to get someone out to us, the time we called was 4 PM in the afternoon. I ended up calling an ambulance and he was transported to the hospital after severe chest pain and problems breathing, he passed away a day later in the hospital and in the following days as we told him we are planning his funerals and running around trying to do everything necessary to bury my father they called multiple times a day asking to come get the equipment after we were told it was ok to coordinate with the nurse and we already had a scheduled day to return them. The nurse was great. Everyone else, the company as a whole, needs to really be looked at and watch who they hire.

I have put this off for a while, waiting for the white hot anger to pass before writing this…read morereview. I did not have time to research hospice choices, so I took a recommendation from the facility where the family member was living. They took a long time (more than 2 days) to coordinate with the hospital for release back to the facility. By the time the coordination was done, it was very late in the date (after dinner) when the family member was finally settled back into the facility. We spent over an hour filling out forms with 2 people (a nurse and the case manager). This information was then input into their system and all of the information was mangled. Half of one person's phone number was mixed with someone else's phone number. The address for the facility was typed in with the wrong city, other information was missing. After we were done filling out forms, they nurse called the pharmacy to order medications. At one point while on the phone she asked me if it was okay to order liquid morphine. Why are you asking me? You're the nurse and you're doing the ordering, what do I know? They were supposed to order supplies. They use Amazon. I have ordered supplies to be delivered to that facility for 3 years. It does not take Amazon 3 days to get products there. The person who met with us that first night indicated that they had some supplies in their car. When I reminded them about that, they were hesitant to get them because they didn't want to have to walk back into the facility, so we sent someone out to their car to get them. They could never give us a schedule, a window of time, a day when they would come by to check on the family member. It was always, "we're in the area all the time," "they don't have a set schedule," "they will come every other day or every third day but more often when it gets closer to the end." It was unfortunately a holiday week at the end. Before the holiday I was told they would now be coming out every day. Except they didn't come out every day. They didn't come the day they called to tell me they would come out every day, or the next day which was the holiday or the third day. At 3pm I arrived at the facility to check on things and was told it was the end and called the phone number. They said they would call the nurse. 30 minutes later the facility called the hospice and were told the nurse was on the way. 30 minutes later the director of the facility called and was told the nurse was on the way. 2 hours later the nurse finally showed up. She had never done a pronouncement before, so on her phone, ON SPEAKER, we all had to hear the instructions as they were giving them to her. I ended up calling the funeral home myself. Even though they had this information from the intake, nobody could seem to find the information in their system. I will stop here. Do not use this company.

I knew what services hospice should be providing. My dad did not last very long; maybe two weeks. I received one phone call after a nurse visitation on how he was doing. I saw him every single day. I knew he was gravely ill and yet hospice never called me and told me or my family; Come see him, he will not last the night or provide my family and I status updates after they came to do wellness checks on him. I was not called by hospice the morning he passed. I was called only by the skilled nursing facility where he was staying. And after three weeks since he's passed, they finally called to offer bereavement support. Too late. I had to find it elsewhere. You learned that when you have a loved one dying that death is a business. It's sad, but it's true. Compassion in finding people that truly care and look at your loved one as a human being is harder than you think.

The third floor is dedicated to these residents and the floor is "locked down" - you need a code to use the elevator - this is great because we don't have to worry about her wandering off. There's also a cat on the third floor named Casanova who is the sweetest kitty I've ever met. Casanova stopped by for cuddles and to inspect the room before we even got my grandmother moved in! Another thing I love about this place is that it's very easy just to stop by and visit or pick her up to take her out shopping, for lunch, or family functions. I am very pleased with our family's decision to move her into here because she is well taken care of and so many of the worries I had about her wellbeing are alleviated.
