Hospice Alliance was an invaluable resource for our family during our time of need. When in home…read morehospice care was no longer a good fit, H.A. became our go-to. The facility has a very comfortable and warm aura despite its name. There are fewer than 12 rooms, a large dining area, full kitchen and room with space for families, particularly small children needing space to unwind and play. Staff members Mohamed, Shannon and Jillian were gems. Their care and concern during this time is something my family and I will never forget. Our love ones last few days on this earth were far more comfortable than they were at home. One would hope that very FEW people have the occasion to need a hospice facility for themselves or loved one, but should the necessary occur this is certainly an option worth giving strong consideration.

My wife has Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) - Stage IV, Metastatic, Aggressive. Like 90% of IBC…read morepatients, the IBC was already Stage IV when it was diagnosed. We opted for the hospice option because it was already spreading around her body. Life Choice Hospice has been there for us with a caring and professional intake session the morning after we contacted them through their website. That evening, Life Choice had delivered the equipment that my wife would need and started transitioning her to her new medications. We have a core care team of three. The names I have been using for them on our CaringBridge page are: The Amazing Nurse Julie (the primary caregiver who expertly changes the tumor's dressing and provides on-point answers, advice and support for both of us three times a week), The Fabulous Jessica (social worker whose visits, calm assurances, and insightful suggestions are truly priceless), and Stephanie the Magnificent (our Certified Nursing Assistant - because like a magician, she can turn my wife's soiled bed linens into clean ones really fast without my wife ever having to leave the comfort of the bed). When my wife woke up in pain at 2 am, we called the Life Choice Hospice 24-hour line, expecting to get an AI or an answering service. A Nurse Practitioner (NP) answered, (yes, a real person), and had the on-call person here in less time than we usually had to wait in an Emergency Room. The on-call (I forget if they were LPN or NP) was professional, caring, understanding, competent, and thorough who took care of her and did not leave until she and I both understood what was going on, why, what they were going to do about it, and what I had to do and watch for as they change her medication dosage and frequency to adapt to her increasing pain levels. We have needed the Life Choice 24-hour services at other odd hours between 11 pm and 4 am, and, while the NP on the phone and the LPN or NP that showed up were different, the pattern of professionalism, care, concern, and thoroughness was the same. When she noticed that I was getting overwhelmed with caring for my wife, The Fabulous Jessica suggested a "respite" meaning that my wife could visit a 24/7 care facility for 5 days to give us both a break. I did not know such a thing existed or could be so beneficial and timely. All three of my wife's core care team continued to care for her while she was in the 24/7 care facility. Life Choice had already contracted with a service award-winning facility, arranged transportation, got my wife settled in there, provided continuity of care by keeping their previous schedule, and coordinated the care my wife received from the 24/7 facility when Life Choice was not there. If you could use the help of a caring, competent, and understanding team of medical professionals like this, please contact Life Choice Hospice and Palliative Care. They accepted both my insurance from work and Jean's Medicare Part A.

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.
