Then no protective gloves were sent or mouth swabs. Never once came to do care in the morning, never sent a CNA or Tech, only got one bath a week. My brother-in-law was told that was all Medicare allowed. Every time I was there eyes crusted shut, mouth full of crusted. No oral care ever unless I did it. Was at the home when the RN came to place the catheter, which she could not see to do. Left three days later on the weekend RN came to place the catheter, not sure if she explained to her caregiver how to take care of it, I had to show and tell him. less than four days got twisted and started flowing into her body. I was the one who cleaned her up and told him to call the RN. The dispatch said "I don't think we can get an RN there today. I went off yelling in the phone you get and RN here now. Body fluids have been running in her for hours, someone from your office needs to come NOW. As soon as hospice took over and started pushing as many meds as possible she kept saying she was not in pain they kept telling my in law ,her husband to keep giving them. He asked me about her breathing ,it's really heavy at night. I told him it was the liquid Morphine which she could stop breathing at anytime it numbs the nerves. I brought food over every time I came she ate like she was starving. Was not choking all soft foods. They stopped feeding her. I ask to see the care plan she wrote out with her husband and the Hospices RN would not and could not show me. I looked in the folder that was not even filled out and no hard copy. By November 24 just after midnight she passed away. Just discussing, worse care I have ever seen.

What a lovely place for my mom to have past here. They provided the upmost comfort not just for the…read morepatient but the patient's family as well. They respected our privacy, our boundaries, etc.. They provided quality care for my mother, especially during her end of life journey. That included comfort medication, such as morphine, rotating her to prevent scars and ulcers, and tending to our needs as well. I like how it is 24 seven as well. You never know when your loved one will leave you so if you have to walk in at 3 AM in the morning, it is not a problem. They have a nice patio area in the front, and then a nice balcony and the back. They also have a small cafeteria, but the food is surprisingly good!

One girl, Carrie, commented, she did not know why Harbor Hospice Doctor was even giving my mom pain medication. To which I had to explain the illness. Thank goodness Harbor Hospice Dr. knows about the illness. Sarah, who was our main contact person...she failed to do paperwork when my mother went to 5 day respite stay (to try to convince my mom this would be better for her). Because Harbor did not fill out medication paperwork, the nursing home could not give my mom any medications. (Pain meds every 6 hours and my mom alerted me at 7:30 in the morning-- in pain). I changed hospice companies and now, Harbor hospice is lying to me about filling out paperwork for moms LTC insurance. I was told harbor did not have a corporate phone number. I googled it and found it. Now dealing with corporate to get paperwork needed. I do not recommend harbor hospice. They might be ok if your parent has 1 week to live, but find another company if longer.

They were there from the very beginning, helping with paperwork, helping me through the difficult times. They did an fantastic job. I would highly recommend this service for anybody who has a loved one in a care facility. It is more than just an extra set of eyes on your loved one. They provide not only a service, but also some of the basic care items they oversee medication's, they oversee personal care. And when it is time for the hospice care, they are with you all the way through until the end. They have volunteers, unpaid volunteers that will come and sit bedside with your loved one and you to help you through the very difficult time of the passing of your loved one. This is a free service. There is no downside to this at all. I am a very skeptical person and I am telling you this is for everyone. I can't think these people enough they made a very, very difficult situation much more tolerable. Period.

They gave so much love, attention and care to her for the last 13 months of her life. I always thought hospice was only for end of life care, which I quickly learned is not the case. It is a completely underutilized service that we pay into and it was priceless for my mom and our family. The nurses we had, Laura and Bridget, and the chaplain, John, were incredible in every way. I received phone calls on a bi-weekly basis, sometimes weekly, to give me a report on her mood, her physical activity and any concerns they had during their visit with her. If they felt a change was needed for her, whether with medication, the type of bed she had, her needing a walker to help get around or a wheelchair at the very end of her life, they made those changes immediately. They sat with us and her until her very last breath. I can't recommend Good Shepherd enough!!
