My family's experience with VITAS Inpatient Hospice in Carrollton:…read more * DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. * I strongly encourage families to thoroughly research all hospice options before choosing VITAS Inpatient Hospice in Carrollton. * In my opinion, no hospital or case manager should refer patients here without carefully evaluating the quality of care being provided. * The unit appeared to be chronically understaffed for the number of terminally ill patients requiring intensive end-of-life care. * Several staff members lacked the compassion, empathy, and urgency that patients and families deserve during a loved one's final days. * There were no accommodations for family members who wanted to remain overnight. The room only had a standard upright chair--no recliner or sleeper chair. Families were left to purchase their own air mattress if they wanted to stay at the bedside, despite the limited space. * I remained at my mother's bedside throughout her entire stay. I genuinely believe my constant presence was the reason she died with dignity and with as little pain as possible. Families should not have to provide around-the-clock advocacy to ensure their loved one receives appropriate care. * Hospice is supposed to provide comfort, dignity, compassion, and peace. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. * After my mother's death, I contacted VITAS Patient and Family Support Services to report my concerns. I was assured that a Bereavement Manager would contact me. As of four days later, no one from VITAS had reached out to offer bereavement support or to follow up regarding the concerns I raised about my mother's care. * Even after death, our family has felt abandoned and unheard. *, staffing shortages, or whether basic comfort measures are being provided. * Every person deserves compassionate, respectful, and dignified end-of-life care. Sadly, that was not our experience. Again, based on my family's experience, I do not recommend VITAS Inpatient Hospice in Carrollton.

Sadly, we have had a horrific and tragic experience with T. Boone Pickens / Faith Presbyterian…read moreHospice. At this point, I would be fearful of the level of care (neglect?) they are giving to their hospice patients who do not have a voice to advocate for themselves in their final weeks or days. This negative review is long and detailed because I don't want anyone to have to go through the experience they put us and my mother through. I hope it is helpful to other families going through such excruciating end-of-life decisions for their loved ones. We were on the waitlist for the "next available room", just awaiting transport, for my dying mother who is in terrible pain after fracturing both hips and a femur (simultaneously). After being told at her final assessment on January 19 that transport would "very likely be tomorrow", there was an abrupt change. They canceled the required Covid test they had scheduled for immediately before transport, and suddenly nothing was available. Every day for five days. Strange, because a friend had his mother admitted that second day. First red flag of their deception. Ultimately, after five days and no response other than terse texts each day saying "still no room, should be tomorrow", we learned from their team that they LOST their license to be able to provide inpatient hospice care! This was Tuesday, January 24, 2023. (What??) After that call, they ghosted us. We could not get a return call, text or email from anyone, trying daily. Meanwhile, my mother is still in terrible pain at an assisted living that provides no help. And because of her terrible pain, her Alzheimer's suddenly declined tremendously, immediately after the injuries. She is a shadow of herself and suddenly does not recognize me or the rest of her family. Up till the day of the injuries, she lit up when I walked in the room, greeted me enthusiastically, and spoke to me and her (private) caregivers. Now she sits in pain with her eyes closed, and when she does open them, there is zero recognition there. She isn't eating, is barely drinking, and is not getting the pain control medication she needs--in fact, which we were told by their nurses is "urgent." It's tragic. Out of desperation, we finally contacted corporate management and, after their initial shock and promises to "get to the bottom of it right away", we learned the truth. In a one-sentence text (!) the next day, they stated that they "can no longer meet my mother's needs." (What?!??) She had been assessed, accepted, and we were merely waiting for an available room, "any hour now", since January 19. We were told they would call me when transport (ambulance) was ready. Literally overnight, they suddenly "can't meet her needs?" The definition of Hospice is to care for a dying patient. What "needs" can they suddenly not meet? After that, once again, we have been completely ghosted. We have learned that several patients have been admitted to inpatient in the subsequent week, and we cannot get a return phone call or even a simple explanation. After my initial reaction of fear and denial when her doctor recommended Hospice (and wrote and order for it), and then the T. Boone Pickens / Faith nurses and sales team convinced us by explaining how badly Mom needed to be there "to get the medication and care she needs", I am heartbroken and helpless thinking of her condition now and her constant, untreated pain that she will suffer for her remaining days. The facility is physically beautiful. LOTS of money has been spent on a pretty building, nice fixtures, an attractive entrance, nice artwork--nothing the patients care about or need. It is just a lot of smoke and mirrors for prospective families during sales appointments. But it is painfully obvious that is where their priority is. Not the patients. Not the families. This sad fact is echoed repeatedly in other reviews. My assumption, since we can't even get the decency of an explanation, is that they have shifted to accepting only the private pay "Residential" patients (at $12,500/month) while leaving patients desperately awaiting hospice hanging alone in agony. We knew T. Boone Pickens. In fact, my parents bought his condo in Turtle Creek (and lived there for 12 years until assisted living). He would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what is happening at his namesake facility. Anyone who would like to know more or share advice (esp after the anticipated contradictory response here from their staff) can reach me by looking at my profile.

She has been helpful, informative and supportive. Today the weekday nurse came by at noon and advised nursing home staff that my mom would pass within 24 hours. She did not inform me of that prognosis. I only found out because I was concerned watching my mom so I called the hotline. The nurse called me back and told me I was right to be concerned. Do not expect anything to change. They will keep giving her pain meds every two hours. I am now sitting here 6 hours later alone, with my mom at death's door with zero support from Three Oaks. To my knowledge they have no intention of sending anyone up here to assist with her final hours. I have seen hospice workers many times in the past and they have all been phenomenal. In this case, I cannot say that because there are no workers to be found for me to comment on.

His facial hair was so long and he wasn't showered or groomed regularly. Patient across hall had tv so loud can hear it with the door closed. Room wasn't cleaned.
