She felt that they should have been providing care to her, which was not their job and was extremely resentful of them most of the time. My brother and sister-in-law are difficult to deal with and I do genuinely appreciate the patience and consideration of the Hospice staff. Apparently, after asking me to contact his health care providers regarding his care, he would turn around and remove me from the approved guest list. I am revising my earlier reward and updating my rating for VNA Hospice to a 5/5 stars for their patience and understanding.

Unexpectedly, the shift in "sheltering in place" from COVID led me to have to make some pretty quick decisions about how to get care for my Mom. Her therapy appointments were canceled, and she very rapidly lost her ability to walk and became bedridden. I reached out to CCSS when I learned my Dad needed heart surgery, and was under strict instructions not to exert himself in any way (which included caregiving for my Mom) prior to his operation. CCSS came out to assess the home, and made recommendations on equipment and a care schedule for my Mom. They were great with communicating with *me* as well---the adult daughter who does not live with them. When the local fires threatened evacuating my parents from their home, CCSS made calls and located a hospital bed to be delivered within hours to my house as we brought them here to evacuate. As my mother's health digressed, I had no experience coordinating with hospice care, and filing advanced care directives with the appropriate agencies. CCSS has literally helped me every step of the way, with clear communication and compassion as I processed emotionally and mentally the decisions I needed to make with my Dad to ensure my Mom was comfortable. If you're not sure what needs to be done to assist your loved one with the services they need to live comfortably, I highly recommend you reach out to CCSS. It was the best decision I made as our family transitions to new realities in our life.

Bethany,…read morethe coordinator said because of the Holiday's naturally a CNA wouldn't start until the first of the year. It is now January 13, 2023. I had to call them this week because I hadn't heard anything from Bethany. Guess what her excuse was? She had the wrong number! Did she try calling the alternate phone number? The only communication I received after our December 28 meeting with Bethany was a "text" on January 10 saying she hasn't called because she had the "wrong number" was too busy assisting other "seniors" and our CNA was "sick." That's it. I can clearly see why they have a "3 Star" average. Excuse, after excuse after excuse.

She is extremely caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Currently my 94 year old grandmother is receiving care from a large home care organization. If my grandmother lived closer we would definitely be using Sabrina for my grandma's care. Sabrina sets the bar very high and there is no one I would trust more with any of our family members. S & J, as a private care provider, goes above and beyond what large home care providers offer in terms of services, care giver qualifications, and better pricing. Hiring Sabrina and her team is the way to go for peace of mind and genuine care for your family.

This Co. never provided a plan of services or any documentation. Only a thin booklet. In this, it explains they will take over managing patient appts. & medications!
