The staff was caring and professional. This is not a job for them, it is a calling. They actually cared. The rooms were clean and well furnished. The needs of the patient and family were clearly a concern with the layout of the room. The common areas were equally clean. If any traditional nursing homes were as nice as this facility.

His room had a view overlooking the river and wonderful flowers. I was impressed with the appearance and feel of the room. Unlike a hospital which is dark, cramped, and has an uneasy feel, the rooms in the hospice were spacious, warm, and comfortable. The colors were pleasing, there was room for the family to sit at a table, a pull out sofa, and multiple chairs. The staff was incredible. In addition to taking excellent care of my grandfather, they took care of the family. If the door was closed they always knocked first. When they checked and asked If they needed to get anything for him, they asked if we needed anything. The hospice has a large kitchen area that provides a snacks, lunch meat, tea, etc. for the family. They also provide a soup lunch daily. I was with the family for three days and we always tried the soup. It was excellent and quickly became a favorite of my grandmother. It takes a special person to work in hospice care. The experience was difficult going through it once; I cannot imagine doing that on a daily basis with multiple patients. I am thankful there are those who do it and provide wonderful care to the family and patients.
