My Mom then entered into Hospice and Suncrest came in about 3 months ago and Gloria was her nurse Mon-Fri, she really cared for my Mom in a special way and took good care of her along with the staff at the Waverly. Red from Suncrest was just as amazing, keeping me updated every week, They both are very compassionate and love what they do and it shows. The last week of her life Red and Gloria helped me through it all. and Gisela and her staff at the Waverly as well. The social worker Stephanie, was actually there in the room when my Mom took her last breath. She looked so beautiful, Gloria would dress her, put a little blush & lipstick on and when she passed, she looked like an angel, Both of these places are so wonderful. Together, they are the best choice if you are needing care and compassion for your loved one.

Timothy Dance is a lawyer for Suncrest Hospice. My mom passed away while under their care on…read moreJanuary 7, 2025. Timothy Dance called me and threatened to sue me for harassment. Suncrest Hospice blocked my phone number, effectively avoiding accountability for their corrupt administration. I want to clarify that my concerns are not about the nurses or CNAs; it is the administration that is entirely corrupt. I urge everyone to request their medical records and read every detail carefully. The lies, misinformation, immaturity, and irresponsible behavior I encountered were unacceptable. I am a 58-year-old daughter who lost my mom, and instead of offering support, they made my grief and panic even worse. I do not recommend this organization because of the administration--particularly people like Timothy Dance--not because of the dedicated nurses and CNAs involved in my mom's care.

Nurses bullied us into letting them take my grandfather for "a few days" because they wanted to manage his symptoms better. He was taken last night and we got a call this morning that he died. They didn't feed him. They didn't give him his medications. They didn't check his oxygen levels because they "don't usually do that" but they PROMISED THEY WOULD BECAUSE IT WOUKD MAKE US FEEL BETTER FOR HIS OXYGEN TO BE STABILIZED. They pumped him up with morphine when we specifically said we only give it to him once a day before sleep. They took him away from us to leave him in a room by himself and die.

Being on the younger side of the age scale, I realized how difficult it was to provide satisfactory services to a population that ranged 30 years age difference and untold illnesses. But, somehow they did. Mostly in a caring and respectable manner. They make it a point to know everybody's name and to address them by it. Not having another Nursing Home to judge it by. They deserve 5 stars, I deducted a personal 1/2 star only because the population is on restricted diets and I'm a picky eater.

The care is exceptional and the customer service is second to none. The 5 Star rating that they received from CMS (government agency overseeing healthcare facilities) is further proof that this facility provides the BEST care to its patients. Furthermore, everyone that works there is very welcoming and caring. I would definitely recommend this facility over all others.

My family decided that my Dad required hospice care towards the end of his life and we chose…read moreLifeChoice for that need. We were assigned Emily as our case manager and she was great to work with. However, we interacted the most with Grace who was on-call at the time we engaged them and helped my Dad a good bit during his last couple of days. Grace was super patient with us when we asked lots of questions about his care and hospice in general. LifeChoice also provided a rabbi for us and I think my father really appreciated that the rabbi visited with him for over an hour. I think they provided my father a lot of peace and comfort during his final days. My only regret was not engaging them sooner. Thank you LifeChoice for all of the help you provided my father and our family.

My name is Shannon Parson Johnson, My father William parson was able to pass away with dignity and…read morerespect, I cannot say enough about the incredible care and compassion this hospice team provided for my father. Their whole demeanor and attitude is that of angels, compassion, empathy, love..When he was in the hospital, he was not receiving the proper pain management, they kept delaying the hospitals hospice program while my dad was dying in pain. I was desperate to get him home. Alena, the administrator, moved mountains to make that happen. They got my dad home in less than 18 hours, they were by my father's bedside within two hours of me calling desperate for help, which felt like a miracle during such a difficult time. Daniel, the nurse who came to the hospital, was so attentive and caring such a such a genuine person. And once we were home, nurse Julie and nurse Grace took over and truly went above and beyond. They made sure the bed oxygen tanks supplies and meds was delivered before my dad even got home.They made sure my dad was comfortable, out of pain, and surrounded by dignity and respect--something he was not receiving in the hospital. there was also a Sweet CNA that came to help as well, Because of them, my dad was able to pass peacefully at home, just as he deserved. That means everything to me my father and our family. All of my father's friends and loyal family were able to come visit with him before he passed the next morning.. I highly recommend this hospice agency to anyone going through end-of-life care for a loved one--or even for themselves. Don't wait until the last minute. Have this hospice team set up ahead of time--you will not regret it. They are truly angels doing God's work. Shannon Johnson-parson

Our family member was kept clean and comfortable with dignity at front of mind. We shared feedback regarding the weekend doctors communication being highly misleading/confusing for our family, due to coming in so early, saying so little, and focusing on what he thought we wanted to hear instead of what we needed to know (what's best for the patient). The other challenge we faced was related to the Home care side of the business systems not talking to the in-facility side of the business, so we had to repeat information such as funeral home. The worst fall-through with that was receiving a call from the home team to schedule equipment pickup while we were still in hospice, before a death....

I have met the kindest staff in many different locations, most recently at retirement communities in Crystal Lake and Algonquin. The staff at these locations show true dedication and kindness toward all residents, regardless of their abilities. And I enjoy visiting these places and seeing the good care our seniors are getting from JourneyCare staff. JourneyCare has a wide range of activities and services which make sure all needs are met. Caring for patients in facilities, at home or in the Care Centers always puts the patient and their families first. I make calls to hospice families each week to check in and make sure JourneyCare is not missing anything, or just to check that the caregivers don't have any concerns or questions that need answering. The many people I speak with each week often thank me for the check-in and praise the nurses, doctors, chaplains, Social Workers, and all staff who take care of their loved ones. I had the choice of leaving JourneyCare volunteering when I moved out of state, but I chose to continue in a remote position, and returning in person when possible. My respect for the care and kindness JourneyCare gives keeps me dedicated to their mission. The volunteer positions I fill are therapy dog team, Vigil member, photographer, Veteran Pinning service (including remote attendance and blanket creation), Tuck-In Caller, patient visitor, card writing, and community events. I have seen a lot and appreciate it all.

All the staff that work here are nothing short of amazing, as they work hard to keep my brother comfortable in his last days. I met with Sheila Carter at the hospital my brother was at after a bad fall at home. She went over all the paperwork with us and I could not be happier with this choice. They have 17 units for patients to stay in, and my brother's room was much larger than I thought it would be, with more than enough seating for our large family and friends. The nurses that are taking care of him are Ann and Andrea, and they are both perfect for this job as they are very caring. They know that they might be the last persons that he sees before passing away. Each time we have gone up to see him, they have been checking on him many times an hour. They even showed my wife, Sheryl and myself how to get to give him coconut water applied to his lips, as he cannot drink or eat now. I know that cancer sucks, but if you need a great place for your final days, this is the place. Call Sheila directly for any help you might need (262) 930-6687.
