The nurses and LPNs were amazing. We learned how to meet the needs of Mom as we were walked down this path. I cannot more highly recommend Scott Gray. He loved us like a brother. Mom had dementia, but she looked at Scott... I think she sensed JESUS in him. So, saying Thankyou a year later. You shared hope in our difficult struggle. No one should go it alone. Choose Gentiva Hospice ... you won't fall through the cracks ... you'll be supported... we were.

My mother was at St. Luke's Hospice House for the last few hours of her life. The ambulance…read moretransporting my mother arrived a little before I did. By the time I arrived, my mother was cleaned, her hair was brushed, chapstick was put on her dry lips, and she was changed into fresh, clean clothing. When I walked into her room, she was resting and looked very comfortable and cozy in the bed. She looked more at peace than she had for many months prior. It was such a relief to know she was there and resting peacefully. When I arrived, I was greeted at the front desk and brought on a tour of the home. There was a beautiful kitchen where visitors could make a meal or eat if they chose to have food delivered. Coffee, tea, and a water cooler were provided, as was fresh fruit. There were rooms where visitors could take a break and unwind if needed. The room where my mother stayed was very clean, bright, and just lovely. It felt like a very welcoming home. There was everything you needed, and it overlooked a beautiful yard with gardens, benches, and bird feeders. The only thing better than the home was the staff. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. They were all very compassionate, caring, and supportive. From the very start, they took exceptional care of my mother, checking on her often, but not in an intrusive way. They asked for detailed information about my mother and her family -- and really listened -- so they could relate/connect with her while she was in their care. They explained the way things worked and made sure to answer any questions we had. When my mother passed, the nurse and aides were very compassionate, understanding and empathetic. St. Luke's Hospice House makes what is a very sad situation much easier to get through. And, for that, I will be forever thankful.

This is for those who work at the hospice. I didn't know what to expect it was all so surreal to…read moreme . I wanted to just go home a forget that my Mother was dying. I had made a promise to my Mother that I would not let her die alone. I know you guys would remember me I was the guy with the Cat on a leash . You have got to be such strong people I'm pretty strong myself but guys are on another level. I miss my mother as hard today as the day she died time hasn't been my friend. I've made some changes though I now have a very good relationship with my father that was nonexistent before.hes a wonderful man and I'm so glad I'm getting to know him. I don't know how you did it but you made me feel welcomed there in a big way . Some how you turned a tragedy into a something that was going to happen and I just needed to be there to see it through. I can't thank you enough

Checking in today only to raise awareness for this incredible place. Taylor Hospice, not to be…read moreconfused with Taylor Hospital's Hospice which is next door. When a family is faced with end of life issues for a family member there are a few choices but not many people to talk to about it. To be fair i first became aware of Taylor Hospice when i sought bereavement counseling after my husband passed in Crozer hospital. I came here weekly for 2 months, 7 years ago for this support group that met here in their first floor great room fully aware of what was going on in the 4 guest rooms( my term) upstairs. ---Namely the art of dying with dignity. At that time I was impressed by the facility, grounds, staff and decided at the time when the need arises I would like a facility such as this. There are plenty of hospices around, most in hospitals and this is not to be confused with Taylor Hospital's Hospice which is a much higher bedded facility in the hospital. Taylor Hospice is a separate facility thar shares the side parking lot with the hospital but is its own unique facility with only 4 rooms. Its located in an old mansion-like home on a several acre wooded property teaming with bird and small wildlife in Delaware County. Who would ever know about this place? This is truly a unique hospice facility in the Delaware Valley. There are beautiful areas outside to regroup and perhaps gain composure before and after visits. Inside it feels as if you are in a home. It's pleasantly decorated, comfy and the compassionate, loving staff is nothing short of spectacular. When not upstairs with the guest you can regroup downstairs in the sunroom or the great room. VISITS: unlimited at all hours, 24/7. I am here daily now this second week of August 2014 to partake in the road home of a very dear friend. I was "adopted" into her family 14 years ago at 42 so i am not biological family but it doesn't matter as I am welcomed by the staff and treated as well as family. Today Barbara took the time to properly explain the dying process and then gave me a pamphlet to take home. She took the time to tell me what she already learned about my friend and asked me to share with her things about my friend. I know this is what they do as they interact in a dignified way with the person who is dying. The people who work here are kind and loving and as previously stated-spectacular. Should the need arise i will choose Taylor Hospice for family or for my own journey home to God.

Amazing, amazing people who made my mother and my entire family feel at home and at ease. I can't…read morethank them enough for all of their help, support, strength, and compassion. xoxo

My family returned to the Caring Connection for a second elderly loved one in need of some in-home…read morecare. The first experience was pretty smooth because of my mother- law's mellow personality. She had Parkinson's which was a difficult disease to deal with physically. The caregivers were kind and respectful to her. We also trusted them in our home. More recently, my mother has gone through some quick changes with her mental capabilities after a serious operation. Physically, she does well and is very independent. Caring Connection has been extremely flexible with us scheduling hours and re arranging their caregivers to my mother's pickiness. She has been very difficult in not wanting to lose her independence. These kind people have visited my mom in a Sr. Community where she is in Independent Living. They are helping to keep her there. Wella, Barb, Jonathan, and Susan (social worker) have all been wonderful with giving my family guidance as we deal with this difficult situation. We tried other services in the past and none of them were as knowledgeable, flexible and most importantly caring to each individual needing the care. I highly recommend the Caring Connection. HH
