In the rare cases that she needed extra assistance medically, the staff was attentive, kind and caring and they communicated well with me. The activity directors have been wonderful and creative, making everyday life fun and active for the residents. We've also enjoyed and developed relationships with many of the staff members.

Then the errors on the company side are them sending people that are not qualified for the job and do not even meet the expectations of the contract you signed for. Those are managerial issues, not the faults of the caregivers. Problem is, the turn overs, companies do not see these caregivers for long. This is not a career but an entry level job for most of them. This is an industry problem though. And if you are paying for a service rather than hiring your own, you are paying for their payroll, staffing, bonding and insurance.

My mother was close to death and I had no idea how to comfort her and make her transition easier as…read morethis was happening so fast. I googled Hospice and came across MD Choice that had some good reviews. I had no idea who I was calling but there had to have been some divine intervention pushing me to this call and this company. After a few questions I received a call from Dr De Leon who was the most compassionate and caring doctor I have come across. He sensed my immediate need, came straight out to the house, assessed my mother and went himself to the pharmacy to pick up the needed medications. He knew the urgency and took it upon himself to do all the footwork. He obtained the needed comfort medication, stabilized my mother and allowed my mother to pass peacefully all within a matter of hours from making that initial call. When she did pass that evening, he again, arranged for everything from the pronouncing to the calls according to the pre-arrangements. Without MD Choice and the connection with Dr De Leon, I don't know how I would have been able to handle the situation. His immediate response on a Sunday, his Taking control of the situation and quick actions made such a difference in the final few hours my mother had. If you find yourself in a situation like this and needing someone to help in this time, I highly recommend MD Choice and Dr De Leon. I am forever grateful to MD Choice and Dr De Leon for acting so quickly and with such caring and love in this terrible time of need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the hearts of my family.

Not only were they able to provide significantly more daily visits from their team of nurses and aids than the other options we considered, but they were incredibly responsive, efficient, and helpful with every question or request we had--and that includes their 24/7 on-call team.

They delivered everything we needed within hours of getting the paperwork done; and both Cheryl and an aide were there for the last few hours my brother was alive--providing support and care. We really can't recommend them highly enough!
