    Griswold Home Care is great! They bend over backwards to make sure their clients are well taken care of and are compatible with caregivers.

    To me and my sister, this was a peaceful and tranquil place to spend the last week of our father's…read morelife with. We tried to do it at home, but he was too sick. The nurses, doctors and staff at LCF Lifecare were more than attentive not just to Dad's needs, but ours as well. We felt at home for that week. And we felt that Dad was more comfortable there than he would have been at home. The tranquility alone. Even the lighting in the room made it better. And it was quiet. He'd been in a hospital and then a SNF prior to this so life had been chaos. This was nothing like that. And not having to worry about cooking dinner each day b/c there was usually always a donation of food in the kitchen. Each room has it's own outdoor private sitting area with plenty of nature, streams, trails surrounding the building to take walks, sit, read, etc. I just feel that it was very peaceful there and took away a lot of the the stress that may have been experienced at home.

    company comes in your hospital room and keeps coming back until you accept hospice. They are pushy…read moreand rude. They make empty promises and are not going to help when something goes terribly wrong. They talk you into "letting your loved one go". Don't let them tell you that they will help extend life as long as possible, believe me, it will end quickly. One day my family member was sitting up in the hospital talking, and laughing with a lollipop and 2 yrs of life estimated by doctors. The patient went home that day with hospice for assistance only, not end of life care. They had an emergency situation come up, that needed immediate help in which instead of recommending a hospice revoke and hospitalization, they **talked my family into seeing that "letting go was best for us all" because they had been through enough. They died 31 hours later. We never said goodbye. We live with regret.

    Well Care Home Health - An Open Letter to  Cathy Millsap and Review: Request for resignation as a result of recklessness decision making.

    Dear Cathy, Over the past six years that I've been my (now…read more94 year old) mothers full time caregiver I have given you and your company quite a few compliments. However,in my opinion you as the senior director of operations of Wellcare have recently conducted yourself recklessly and Wellcare has callously placed my mother in a dangerous position. Such a goof up is arguably in no way acceptable of a medical professional on your level. Your Linked in profile boasts that you "....improve profitability....and overall cost reductions... " .As previously mentioned, my mother had been a patient under Wellcare Home Health for many years. I would regularly observe that the nurses come to my mothers home and express frustration because my mom requires considerable home health nursing. The nurses would often do the bare minimum and quickly scurry out often expressing their fear of getting reprimanded for taking too much time. And on multiple occasions they had illustrated their resentment when I would ask moms physician's assistant to place additional orders. Earlier this year you had contracted an outside wound care company to help with my mom, however, sadly they had gone out of business and at which point you took it upon yourself to make the executive decision that my mother was too much work for your nurses. Perhaps my mother was too time consuming and in an effort to"improve profitability" you 'forced our hand' and pushed my mother into home hospice care. Soon after being a Liberty home hospice patient my mother was approved to switch to Liberty Home Health. Upon a recent examination by my mothers medical team, they expressed that a new outside wound care company has replaced the former company that closed their doors and given my mothers state it would be best if she was transferred back to Wellcare and under the care of the new wound care company. Now the following is where you placed my mother in a dangerous position.My mother's medical team contacted your office to request that she returns to Wellcare.WELLCARE APPROVED THE NURSE PRACTITIONERS REQUEST. Upon receiving word that Wellcare would take my mother back I was directed to promptly release my mother from under the care of Liberty Home Health. Approximately 72 hours later you had informed me that WELLCARE DECIDED TO NOW REJECT MY MOTHER AS A PATIENT. Consequently, she was now not accepted back into Liberty's home health and HAS BEEN WITHOUT ANY NURSING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS. In an effort to 'improve profitability' you and Wellcare have demonstrated reckless judgment. You can argue that my mothers wounds are chronic, however I can compare a picture of her sacrum wound from December and the exterior has improved dramatically as a result of the outside wound care company that she is now being deprived of. Now after two weeks my mother has not received any home nursing as a result of Wellcare's 'flip flopping' .In my opinion, it appears that in an effort to 'improve overall costs' you are doing so at the cost of my mother's well being. In closing to anyone else experiencing a similar problem, should you find yourself or your loved one 'left high and dry without nursing supplies, you can get emergency medical supplies from the American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Having to go to these measures?I NEVER expected anything remotely like this from WellCare. Sincerely, Corey Allen Kotler Caregiver and Senior Citizen Advocate

    These people can be maddening. I was released from the hospital and my PCP had to fax over info to…read moreWellCare to get home health evaluation (I can't get out of bed, live alone, and need help with medication and other basic needs -- I'm a senior). Info was faxed to their office around noon and I called to make sure I'd be contacted today b/c tomorrow is Friday. I was assured that the call request got out to the nurse who did the admission evaluation and that I'd be contacted by the end of the day. Well, when the phone didn't ring I knew it was WellCare, so I called them; was told it was now after hours and that the "triage nurse" wouldn't get in touch with anyone before tomorrow, at which time I would be free to call them and start all over again. I've had them before, and some of the front-line workers are tops -- but the idiots who work in their offices all seem to be in need of common sense and compassion. I told them I couldn't get out of bed to feed or hydrate myself, to take medication, or even to relieve myself. The response of the "triage nurse"? "I'm not interested in going back and forth with you on the phone, you'll just have to call tomorrow." AVOID THESE LOSERS IF YOU CAN!!!
