I had the honor of using Passion Hospice when my dad became ill enough that we knew it was about…read morecomfort rather than anything else. My father, sister, and I were a part of hospice for over two years. During that time, Passion spent time caring not only for my dying father, but also for my sister and I. I remember when we first met with Passion, they talked about building a relationship with the care givers and the family. I truly felt like my dad's nurse, Desi, and his aid, Ellie, cared for and about my dad. They were there bc whenever we needed anything or had any questions. Desi was excellent with keeping in touch and answering any and all the questions we had. I know my dad felt very comfortable with the Passion team. If I had to use hospice again, I would use Passion for sure. The people that work there are angels sent from heaven. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Companion Hospice was our choice to take care of my sister-n-law in Jan. 2024. I can not say enough…read moregood things about the care and support they gave us! Mary, the Administrator, is amazing! She always does what she says she's going to do and was there for us anytime we needed her. She treated us like family and fought for my sister-n-law's wishes. She is very knowledgeable, being a RN herself, and helped us better understand the current medical situation of my sister-n-law. Mary's main goal was what was best for the patient not what was best for the medical companies involved. Jacqueline, social worker, is such a sweetheart. She helped us with all the paperwork, making everything smooth and easy. Even coming on very short notice when we realized there were some legal forms we needed notarized and completed quickly. Noelia, one of the RN's, is so kind, loving and supportive. She genuinely wants what is best for the patient and works hard with the facility that the patient is in to get the best care for the patient. I once again was in a position to need hospice for a family friend just yesterday and called Mary early on a Wednesday morning. She quickly got back to me and within a very short time was personally at the hospital helping us get the patient into a hospice facility. Even before she could physically come to the hospital she was already working on things for the patient. Everything was quickly and smoothly handled, by early that afternoon the patient had been transported to a beautiful Hospice Facility and made comfortable. When you are in a position that you need a Hospice company to be involved in your loved ones care, it can be scary, emotional, confusing and overwhelming. But I can say that all the staff that helped us from Companion Hospice made both times for me simple, smooth, stress free and I was comforted, educated, supported and extremely well taken care of. I highly recommend them!

My mom needed some extra care and rehab after a hospitalization. Sonterra Health Center was…read morerecommended by the hospital and her physicians. So, we selected it...sight unseen. Checking into the facility, I noticed it looked a bit old and had walls being repainted BUT it looked and smelled very clean. Despite this, I has my reservations about leaving my mom. It was the first time that we had been in a situation where we required extensive nursing care outside of our home. Then, I met Lela. She is a nurse manager at the facility. Immediately she sensed my apprehension. I expressed that I didn't want to leave my mom. She encouraged me and offered reassurance. She said, "Maybe the building needs TLC and we're working on it but, I guarantee you, the people here are the best at what they do and you're mom will excel." So, although I was hesitant, I left my mom, and returned the next day and the next day and the day after that.... What I witnessed was truly remarkable. Having been a patient and being a Nurse Practitioner, I can tell you that medicine isn't always kind...except at Sonterra Health Center. Every single staff member that the facility has amassed CARES for their patients. They take their lunch breaks in their patient's rooms if they notice someone feels lonely, they come in with a smile at the beep of every call bell, they gladly change out food trays if the least bit of disappointment is expressed. Every single person has gone above and beyond to support my mother as she heals. They even provided my mother with a volunteer opportunity to do some social service, which lifted her spirits. The testament to the staff was that when it came time to go home, she didn't want to leave! I will never use another facility for skilled nursing. Hands down, the best place!!!

I spent an extended period at Sonterra Rehabilitation Center, so I saw this facility from the…read moreinside. I want to be fair: the CNAs, nurses, and therapists were some of the kindest, most compassionate and hardworking people I have ever met. Many work extremely long shifts doing physically and emotionally demanding work. My criticism is not directed at them. My concern is management. I became especially concerned about an elderly resident who told me she was terrified of her roommate, who has Alzheimer's. She reported being physically attacked and waking at night with her roommate standing over her threatening her. She became so frightened of her room that she sometimes preferred sitting outside in the Texas heat. I personally approached the facility director, explained the situation, and asked him to intervene. He promised to look into it. Before I was discharged, I confronted him again and asked whether this woman's situation would actually be resolved. After leaving, I checked on her and learned that the problem still had not been meaningfully resolved. Sonterra later contacted me about my evaluation. I again explained the situation and was assured someone would investigate. I checked again afterward and was told that nobody had come to see her as promised. This particularly bothers me because this resident appears to have nobody consistently advocating for her. I cannot know why her concerns have received so little attention, and I will not accuse anyone of motives I cannot prove. What I do know is that a frightened, vulnerable resident repeatedly asked for help, I personally asked management to help her, and I still saw no meaningful resolution. During my stay, I also had concerns about the food, insects in resident areas, staffing levels, and what I personally observed as a lack of meaningful interaction between upper management and residents. My advice to families is simple: there are wonderful frontline caregivers at Sonterra, but advocate strongly for your loved one. Visit frequently, ask questions, pay attention, and don't assume management knows what is happening simply because staff have been told. I have written commendations for Sonterra employees who provided me outstanding care because good people deserve recognition. But vulnerable residents also deserve someone willing to speak when something is wrong. Every resident matters, whether they have money, family, influence, or nobody at all. They are human beings deserving dignity and safety. I tried repeatedly to address this internally before writing publicly. I hope Sonterra's management addresses this resident's situation and proves my concerns wrong. --Kenneth Holder, former resident

Dear Christus VNA, I…read moream long overdue for writing this post, as my mother passed away Thanksgiving night of 2021, but I would be out of line if I did not. First, to sum up your care...simply outstanding from start to finish. For those looking to transition your mother to live with you, that process was seamless. My mother moved from Mississippi, where she was under hospice care, to TX, and the transition of service never missed a beat. When she arrived, everything was here waiting on her, to include her bed (already set up). Throughout my mother's six months of survival after she arrived in San Antonio, CHRISTUS VNA were extremely professional and caring, from the nurses, care providers, social workers, chaplains, etc. Whenever I called to ask questions or report an advancement in her Alzheimer's stages, they were at our home within 24 hours of my call, if not the same day. My wife is actually a nurse, but there is something special about having a hospice nurse to assist you. I know all experiences are different, but I simply had to share this organization made my mother's remaining moments special, and comforted us as well. May God Bless your entire staff. Paul A.
