The care the PSW's provided is difficult to put into words. I have a entirely new respect for the term "PSW" and who these woman, and men are and what they do. The care, companionship and friendship they offered was second to none and made both of my parent's final journey a happier and safer one. I highly recommend Thistlecreek and their team of exceptional PSWs to care for the people you love. My family put their trust in these wonderful compassionate caregivers and would do so again in a heartbeat.

I wish I could add 10 stars! I thought Hospice was for people with terminal cancer. I had no idea…read morethat it was available to anyone. A few weeks back... my Grandmother was taken to Lockport Hospital to receive treatment for acute edema. She had not been well for sometime now and her condition continued to worsen. She had been living in a local nursing home. After being admitted to the hospital she was carrying more than 90 lbs of fluid on her small 4 ft 9 in frame. As a woman in her 80's, this was very serious. The hospital, following their normal protocol, was putting her through what seemed cruel and inhumane red tape. Blood pressure checks every few hours and countless attempts to draw blood leaving trails of black and blue marks. I reached out to a friend of mine who had a wonderful experience with Hospice in Wilmington, NC and they recommended calling our local office. We did and it was the best phone call we ever made. Hospice sent someone over right away to evaluate her and they determined after all the life prolonging measures the hospital was under going that she naturally would have only a few more weeks of life. This is not how we wanted her to leave. Crying in pain every day. She was admitted into Niagara Hospice the next day. I flew in the day after and saw a relaxed look on my mom's face for the first time. She walked me around the facility which looks like a beautiful hotel. The folks that work here are the kindest most caring people I have ever met. The purpose of this place is for family to be with their loved ones in a peaceful non-stressful environment. That is what this place is. They have beautiful landscaped gardens and areas to sit and reflect or gather yourself and your thoughts. The flowers are all maintained by volunteers and are exquisite! There is a coa pond and walking path with gazebos and stone paver tributes to others before us. The staff caters breakfast lunch and dinner to the family so you never need to leave. There is a conference room, a child's play room with computers and games as well as a chapel. They have a fully appointed kitchen area with couches and big screen TV. They also provide a pretty nice selection of music to take back to your room to enjoy. My Grandmother and my family found peace in a time of need from the wonderful staff at Niagara Hospice. We thank you for giving my family and my Grandmother a comforting warm environment to say goodbye and celebrate her life. We are planning her memorial tribute which will forever be etched in the stones at this facility, remembering her amazing spirit and kind soul which flies above us now on the wings of every songbird that sings there. If you are in need, please call them. They are truly there for you. If you have to give... give graciously to this worthy cause.

Sometimes in life you would be perfectly happy to never have the help of someone even if it's great…read morehelp. But often in life you don't get to choose. Loosing someone who is so incredibly important to you is not an easy experience and the Spiritual Care Department was in contact with me very early on. They have been consistent but never annoying. Periodically I receive a phone call on my machine checking to see how I'm doing and if there is anything I need or anyway they can help me. They send cards and books to read. They include schedules of events that are occurring on various subjects to help you deal with the facets of grief. Group events for others in grief if I'm ready to be in a group of some kind. Of course they are good at what they do. Their persistence does eventually pay off as it were. Coming into six months I'm just starting to think about perhaps, maybe , possibly looking into these groups they offer. Many many months ago I received a notice that they would be having a Mass for my loved one this week. I added it to my calendar and considered it a bit odd having spent so many years in and out of hospitals, I only saw non denominational spiritual settings, so the fact that it was referred to as a Mass I took with a grain of salt. However I double checked and was told that yes it was indeed scheduled in the names of two people, one of which was my loved one. Arriving on schedule along with three other family members, non of us are Catholic, but our loved one was. We were treated to a truly beautiful full Mass by one of the most gentle spirited Priests I have ever had the good fortune to meet. Father Hinton, seemed to always have a very serene and gentle smile and his voice was equally gentle and kind. So when I look back at all of the medical institutions we dealt with , it made me sad that but for Roswell, non followed up at all. But I'm so very impressed with the amount of care, patience and dedication they have put into Spiritual Care. And even though it's certainly not anything anyone wants to have showered on them, I do thank them for being so good at keeping track of the ones of us left behind.
