Our family is beyond grateful for the care we received from 5 Star Home Hospice. From the very beginning, they were responsive to every need my mother had, and they supported us through this heartbreaking journey. The nurses, Martha and (especially) Brenda, were truly a blessing. They were attentive, compassionate, and always made sure my mother was comfortable. Because they took care of everything, we were able to focus on what mattered most--spending precious time with my mom during her final days. Their presence gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. When my mother passed, Martha and Brenda stayed with us and gently guided us through every step. They handled everything that needed to be done so we didn't have to worry, allowing us to simply be together as a family. I cannot say enough good things about 5 Star Home Hospice. The kindness, compassion, and support they showed will stay with us forever. read more

My father needed to be placed on hospice and 5 star was recommended by the assisted living facility he was in. Mark and Alma of Five Star were there for me every step of the way as my father transitioned. Alma was by my dad's side and emotionally and physically with me to the very end. I loved her calm approach and disposition, it put my dad at ease. Her knowledge and experience provided a sense of comfort for me. Mark was really on top of the medication and collaborative with the assisted living facility. All of these things are critical when you are experiencing a loved one transitioning. They even provided grief counseling, which has been very helpful. I would highly recommend them. read more

They were very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable regarding my mom and her hospice care. They always checked on supplies and made sure we had all we needed. Most of all, when we were on constant care, Marta (Martha?) was the nurse on duty and she was absolutely amazing. She gave us space when we needed it and words of comfort when she had just passed. We lucked out having her as the one there at her final moments. read more

My 100 year old grandmother was in the hospital to be discharged home and the doctor recommended Five Star hospice to my mom. The owner, Mark was very understanding of our situation and was quickly able to send an overnight nurse to our home the same night. The night nurse Martha was so compassionate and caring with my grandma and empathetic towards us. The daytime nurse Nelson was also very respectful and caring with my grandmother. Sadly we lost our grandma, but we are happy she was comfortable when she passed. We had an amazing experience with five star hospice, truly deserving of its name. read more

I can't say enough good things about the care my aunt recently received from Five Star Home Hospice. We were able to rely on them to answer our questions 24 hours a day and would get frequent updates on disease progression and expectations. All of the nurses were kind, considerate, compassionate. Toward the end, Five Star transitioned my aunt into continuous 24-hour care, ensuring full comfort with a bedside nurse to ease her symptoms. What could have been a painful and overwhelming experience was made so much easier with their guidance and care. We are forever grateful to Five Star Home Hospice for helping us navigate the unfortunate passing of our aunt. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the care and compassion we received from 5 Star Home Hospice. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Mark and his team provided not only professional medical support but also emotional comfort that truly made a difference. From the very beginning, every nurse, aide, and coordinator treated my dad and our entire family--with dignity, kindness, and respect. They were always responsive, gentle, and deeply human in how they handled every situation. They took the time to explain what to expect, answered all of our questions with patience, and supported us in ways we didn't even know we needed. We are forever grateful to 5 Star Home Hospice,thank you for being a great support during such a dark time read more

Five Star was the best choice for us as a family. First off, Mark was our first point of contact and was amazing with us. He took his time and answered all our questions and concerns. The office staff was also great. Everyone worked well with us. The most important person was the caregiver they sent, Alma. She was the most amazing, caring, wonderful person. My dad responded to her right away and we had no problems with her at all. She was very gentle when working with my dad. I really do appreciate them being there for us at a tough time in our lives. Thank you Five Star, Mark and especially Alma for the wonderful work you do! read more

Five Star Hospice and their team of compassionate, knowledgeable caregivers were simply outstanding. They helped me and my family navigate my Mom's difficult decline and provided sensitive, professional support during her passing. Truly a wonderful team! read more

My grandmother was sent home on Hospice. 5 star was there with us from the start. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. I had a great experience with this company and recommend them to anyone in need of Hospice services for their loved one. read more

I am so happy that I chose Five Star Hospice to handle my mother's needs. They've been taking care of her for a couple of months now and I couldn't be more pleased. Before I chose them, Mark (I think he's the owner) answered all my questions and gave me some good advice, without being pushy. I like that the business is Pasadena based, being that I want to support local businesses after what we all went through with the Eaton fire. The RN and the LVN who look after my mother are so very friendly and pleasant, I couldn't be happier. The person who gives my mom her baths is also very gentle, calm and caring...which helps makes my mom feel more at ease. The RN/LVN/bath person also do a wonderful job communicating with the caregivers of the facility where my mother is staying, and they also reach out and call me with updates, etc. Another wonderful thing about Five Star Hospice, is the fact that you always get a "live" person when you call...no matter what time of the day or night it is!! I would highly recommend considering them when looking for a hospice service, you won't be disappointed with them...they are truly wonderful! read more

I wish to thank the team that took such great care of my Fiancé, Mike Phillips who passed away last July 5th. Mike could be tough sometimes and just didn't take to kindly to too many folks, but he spoke very, very highly of all of your attending personnel. This is still a very sad and raw time for me, but I take great comfort in the knowledge that as his life was ending, you eased his pain, kept him comfortable and clean which was very important to him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Brenda Hale read more

This facility kicked my grandmother out of hospice just because she didn't pass within the 6 month period. They promised to readmit her with new dr orders and they didn't. They have a very unqualified dr who visits patients. Visiting Dr. Sanders has difficulty walking to even get to the patients room to evaluate patients. Owner Mark is full of undelivered promises. Do not trust him. He does anything to bribe you to leave a good review for his facility. Reviews are fake!! Genenia, Rosario and all office staff offer very low assistance when needed.. please investigate Possible fraud. read more

I have used Five Star Hospice to provide care for my mother for almost two years. Five Star is the second provider I've used and they have been vastly superior to my first provider. I was initially leery of the name, but decided to trust the reviews and call them. I talked with the owner, Mark, who assured me that everything would be taken care of, it was, and has been ever since. They have gone above and beyond my initial expectations. I've been aware, for quite awhile that it's just their "Five Star" approach of giving you and your loved one exceptional comprehensive care. Five Star is my most valued asset as a caregiver. Five Star has been my mom's hospice provider for almost 2 years now. She was discharged from Hospice into Home Care, which is another way of saying "now you get nothing", in November, 2021. Then back to the hospital in March of 2022, placed back on hospice and back with Five Star. She's a few months from being discharged back to Home Care and I'm not looking forward to it. I see their organization as professional, organized, consistent, caring, very competent with a sound business plan of exceptional service that makes a big difference to her comfort. read more

The Comfort Care this Agency provided for my Mom was beyond commendable. The friendly family oriented yet highly professional services they deliver reflect the management they represent. From the intellectual DON Miss Rosario and the office staff , the back to back excellent personalized care Rosy (HHA) , Amar (RN) and Korina (RN) provided , the lively visits of Olivia (MSW) , the spiritual care from Chaplain Earl and the comforting visits of the Administrator Mr Mark himself made the challenging process and coping with a loss a bit less painful. Thank you so much for all you do. read more

During the last year my 98 year old father (Chinese and spoke no English) was wonderfully cared for by 5 Star Hospice at his apartment in Pasadena. Although his mind was excellent, as the months passed it because difficult to move, and during his final months he ate very little (sometimes just fluids) and spent up to 20 hours per day in bed. The special and wonderful and professional care by the team (nurses, social workers, MDs, and other professionals) at 5 Star Hospice made his life very special as they really CARED. Their 24/7 attention with scheduled and special visits really made my dad's life more happy. Please note this care was for actually MORE than one year!! If I could I would give them 6--SIX--STARS. JING read more

Highly recommend 5star hospice. They are caring and thorough. Our father was under their care for 31/2 years after suffering bleeding in the brain. Mark was especially helpful at the start as our father was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital in a couple days and I had to quickly find a hospice care professional to help care for him. Called Mark and he took care of everything to make sure all the equipment was there when our father came home. Pretty seamless operation. Over the years the nurses and doctors provided care and support. In his final days, the nurses made sure he was comfortable and he passed away peacefully. Thank you 5star for making our father's last days as comfortable as possible. read more

I had an incredibly good experience with Five Star hospice. They made everything so easy for me, as Dad was passing. I could call 24/7 and i would always get a kind voice on the other end, telling me "no problem at all, we'll take care of it". They allowed me to direct the type of care my family wanted. The doctor worked with all of our requests. The nurses and support staff on site were amazing - such a hard and sometimes thankless job, but always done with a smile. This is a well-run company on all fronts. Highly recommended.. read more

The staff went over and above in every way with compassion and respect. We couldn't be more satisfied to have them taking care of our Mom for the last year!! Thank you Mark & TEAM read more

This is the second time we have used Five Star. This is an amazing hospice organization. Our RN - Pamela Lane, was professional, kind, very experienced and always responsive. She was open to all types of approaches - western/eastern - whatever was the best path to minimizing pain and maximizing piece of mind for our loved one. When we went to continuous care near the end - we had one nurse, Jennifer, who was so caring and loving that family members are still talking about her in gratitude. The end of life is so challenging and Five Star's outstanding staff brought us great comfort. read more

I would like thank mark and all the nurses who came to care for mama while she made her transition to be with our lord. I can't tell you how wonderful they all were caring loving and most of all treated her with the dignity she so well deserved. Having them and all of our family around her made it so much easier for all of us. The support system they have can not be matched. I definitely highly recommend using this service. Bless them all read more

My father passed away on Easter Sunday, peacefully, comfortably and with the wonderful hospice nurses that Five Star Hospice sent us. We used their services for the last 3 months as my 96 year old dad died from dementia/old age. The wonderful people there were our guardian angels in providing professional, caring, services to my dad and being the rock that my family leaned on. The care managers, nurses, everyone they sent were top notch and took a huge load off our shoulders. They made sure my dad was taken care of and had excellent communication with his assisted living facility. I don't know how we would have managed without them! Many thanks to Jeanina, Rosario, Kathleen and Hilda the outstanding nurse at his bedside the last few days. Honestly , I would give them 10 stars and thank my lucky stars that they assisted my dad and family. Highly recommend. read more

My husband received Hospice Care through Roze Room for 4 months. I could not have asked for more. The whole staff was so loving, gentle and supportive. Our bath nurse, Iris was amazing and taught me so much about caring for my husband. Charlotte, our RN was caring in every way. She understood my feelings and supported me all along the way. Lisa, our Social worker went out if her way to handle all of our needs and counseled me when I needed it. Chaplain Keith is a gentle caring man who played his ukulele and sang Gentle Breeze. This was so soothing for our soul. I also enjoyed sharing scripture and poetry with him. My husband has moved on, and I am left with many beautiful memories. read more

Five Star Hospice gets ten stars in my book. From the beginning of hospice, every single person was amazing. From the owner to the office, to the care team, to the Chaplin and just everyone involved, my parents received top notch care. Zero complaints and would highly highly recommend Five Star for your loved one. They took care of both of my parents with the most comforting, caring and professional care. They go the extra mile to put the patient and family at ease during such a difficult time. My family and I can't thank them enough. read more

Truly a five plus experience. Sadly, we had to use their services for my mother who passed away last week. I write this now before I forget the experience with Five Star. Let me begin, when we were told we needed hospice at the hospital...that alone was stressful enough. We needed to find a hospice right away. There were Hospice companies coming to our hospital room with chocolates, others visiting like we were buying a car. I decided to look at reviews. Thank God I did. Five star had great reviews and I went with my gut. Every single person we had contact with had compassion. Every time we needed someone. They were there. There was not one moment we did not feel alone or get our answers to questions we had. They even helped with my brother who had doubts about the process of not forcing food or water. That was hard. Doctors called him, nurses tried to reason with him. To say the least, they went beyond my expectations. I would recommend this hospice if you are looking for a personal, compassionate, empathetic, and available company. They handled everything from the moment they took my beautiful mom home to the moment she had her last breath. I send blessings to all the nurses, doctors, and helpers at Five Star. You made my moms transition comfortable. Thank you from the bottoms of my heart. read more

The nurses are very caring and attentive, you are able to contact them 24 hrs any time a patient needs anything. They are very professional and focused on giving their patients the best care they can. If your family is looking for good quality, professional care, for your family members last days five star hospice is the one. read more

The name explains it well. As soon as, I talked to the office, they provided amenities, sent nurses/medicines, etc. the same day. They increased frequency of the nurse visits to everyday. And whenever I called the triage office, they answered immediately and provided care or sent a nurse, even at midnight. The nurses are experienced and professional. read more

There are no words to describe just how grateful we are to Five Star. My father's health declined rapidly and the staff was beyond accommodating. Mark jumped into action, along with Rosario, and got us the care we needed for my father's final hours. We could not have gotten through this traumatic experience without them. His male nurse was so compassionate and took excellent care of my father, making sure he was as comfortable as he could be. God bless these Angels that helped us. read more

I hesitated to call any hospice company at all for my mother in the end. I had already tried three other hospice companies (obviously only in it for the money) whose websites and brochures were full of empty promises never forthcoming. One of these so-called hospice companies' owner I caught yelling at my mother because she had a deviated septum that required 20 boxes of Kleenex a month. Another entity claiming to be a hospice provider never showed up at all and gave one excuse after another. But Five Star restored my faith in the concept. They came quickly, provided everything overnight my mother needed for comfort and stayed with us and her until the very end. If you find yourself needing to engage a hospice company for a loved one, rest assured Five Star will be there with professionalism, compassion and the expertise required for these delicate times. I can't thank them enough. read more

We engaged the service of 5 Star Hospice 7 years ago when our Dad passed away. This is just a quick review to let Mark know how much my siblings and I appreciate him and his team for their outstanding care when our Mom passed away earlier this month. When Mom decided to go home, the hospital recommended a large hospice company to assist us. Due to the high recommendation and the fact the company was able to take our Mom home within hours, we proceeded with them. After 1.5 days, we realized that the quality of service was poor. So I called Mark immediately. Mark amazingly remembered me and my Dad's name as well as other details I wouldn't expect him to recall being the last time we talked was 7 years ago. That was in the late afternoon the second day after Mom came home. To summarize, Mark and his team's service and care during the next 5 days before Mom's passing was excellent. Mark called me often to check on us to make sure that Mom's care was taken care of. Thank you, Mark and thank you to your 5 Star Hospice team! read more

There are no words to describe just how grateful we are to Five Star Hospice. They went above and beyond our expectations to accommodate our situation, explained the process, were very knowledgeable, caring, and respectful. I would highly recommend the use of Five Star services in the event a loved one is in need of hospice care or even simply an inquiry of the process. The staff is always ready to answer questions and be at your service. Thank you Mark and all the staff at Five Star for your services provided. read more

I wish to give them 10 stars!!!!! My mom fractured her ankle at night, had to rush her to Huntington Memorial Hospital ER. Cast was put on to stabilize her leg. Mom was independent with help of walker before this accident. Next day, doctor referred me to Hospice Care provider. Mark Jaratanian came to the hospital and explained their services. Mark arranged for EVERYTHING !!! ............. ambulance, hospital bed, wheel chair, all supplies, medicines, etc, etc, etc!!!! This happened before mom went home that evening!!!! What a fantastic logistics effort!!! Mom is being taken care of by professionals (doctors, nurses, care givers), well qualified, sensitive and caring -- ALL of them!!! We had NO idea of hospice care at all. Learnt very fast and what a positive experience!! Mark and his team have been excellent in ALL respects -- not a single occasion where they did not come through. Mom is 97 years young!!! I think I better stop, cannot add any more kudos!!! Many thanks!!!!! read more

After talking to several hospice companies about my father, I decided to move forward with Five Star. I'm so glad I did. From the start, Rosario was the most helpful and knowledgeable person I had talked to regarding my father's needs. She knew to tell me things I hadn't even known to ask. The nurse at his intake appointment was so kind and put him at ease. They were so caring and wonderful with my dad at every stage of his decline. Nurse Genesis became a part of the family. She was great not only for my dad but for managing our care needs. Communication was excellent. I could call Five Star at any hour and we received great assistance no matter the time of day. I didn't take advantage of all of the services they offered, but everyone I spoke with was so kind. Even on his final day, the round the clock care made him calm and kept him at peace. I would highly recommend Five Star to anyone in the LA area looking for excellent and compassionate care for their loved one. read more

My Father recently required hospice care my Fathers oncologist insisted I use 5 star hospice due to the fact there was multiple blunders prior to be referred to Dr. Lam he wanted to put my dad in the best Capable hands for hospice and Thad was with 5 star. From the initial phone call I knew my dad was going to be in good hands. Deliveries of medical equipment, medications, the attention of the nursing staff was top notch. The nurses where very professional and yet warm and compassionate. I emphatically recommend 5 star. If you are in the unfortunate situation where hospice is the decision. Do yourself and your family a favor and deal with 5 star. Much respect and admiration to the leaders owners of 5 star and to all their staff. Respectfully Henry read more
