I'm especially directing this review towards the hospice team that came into my patents's home to provide hands on care. We were very fortunate to have Alyssa, Trey, and La Sarita help us out. They were excellent communicators and very caring and competent. They exhibited great teamwork. They addressed our questions without making us feel like we were wasting their time. An additional note. After my Dad passed, just 13 days after entering hospice, my Mom did not want to sleep in her bedroom alone. Gracious Care Hospice made arrangements so we could keep my Dad's rented hospital bed so I could sleep next to her and hold her hand as she grieved the loss of her husband of 68 years. That act was outside of the hospice routine, but was a key to helping my Mom pass peacefully, 17 days later. Thank you, Gracious Care Hospice.

I was able o get in touch with the sweetest, most comforting & knowledgeable on-call hospice nurse I've ever come across at 10:30pm! Her name, I think, was Sonia. As comforting as our conversation was it was also educational. She reassured me that picking a hospice is like buying a car. If you don't like it you move on to the next until you find one to suit your needs. She empowered me & encouraged me--SO wasn't expecting it to be such an uplifting call. I can tell with this short encounter that my grandfather will be in the hands of some amazing & smart angel nurses & loving care I doubt I could find anywhere else. My grandpa also is not English speaking & she told me they have some nurses available that do speak our language & are familiar with our culture. I wish she could be my personal nurse every day to speak encouraging things to me every day! We haven't even entered with their program & I love it it already. Before searching anywhere else for hospice--coming from an anxious & worried granddaughter-- please give Comfort Hospice a call first. They literally answer your call at ungodly hours like I called & they don't even mind.

My brother-in-law has stage four lung and bone cancer caused by exposure to agent orange during the Viet Nam war. He is spending his last days at home, being cared for by my sister. We originality hired a different hospice care company, but after several serious mistakes they admitted they were too short-handed to do the job, so we switched to Seasons after their saleswoman assured us they would continue with the same meds and oxygen equipment he had with the first company. First thing, My BIL is on an oxygen generator twenty-four hours a day. with a large emergency bottle in case of power failure.Seasons did not bring out the large bottle of oxygen, which had been provided by the first company. When contacted, the Seasons supervisor said that Medicare would not pay for the emergency bottle under their contract, and that if we were worried about him suffocating during a power failure, it was up to us to buy a gas powered electric generator. When told that the saleswoman had promised that Seasons would provide all that the previous company had, the supervisor said, "We'll have a talk with her..." Next...my BIL has been on two Lidocaine pain patches a day for some time. When we tried to order them, we were told Seasons does not provide them under their 'formulary.'(?) When we pointed out that the saleswoman had promised two a day, we were told that they would have a talk with her, but that we would have to purchase them ourselves. My BIL needs to cath six times a day, and, after trying a number of types of catheters, found one type that was easiest to use. When we asked Seasons for them, we were told the type he had been using were too expensive, and if he needs them we'll have to buy them ourselves, and that the sales woman should not have told us Seasons would provide them, but that they would have a talk with her... The main excuse Seasons gives us for all the problems is that each hospice company has its own individual contract with Medicare, and that they will only provide services, equipment, and medications that fall within their contract. For us, its a guessing game. We'd switch to another provider, but our luck doing that has been so bad that we're afraid to try it again. And to be quite honest, at this most horrible and trying time in our lives, they've managed to wear us down. If you're considering hospice care for a loved one, MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING, or better yet, tape-record the salesperson's initial pitch. And if you are considering Seasons, just remember that to them you are not a family in need of care, but a dollar sign.

That said, nothing could have made my mother's remaining days more comforting than the team at Care Partners. My mother was in the hospital for 5 days and the decision was made to move into a care home and enlist the hospice care from Care Partners. We moved her to a care home close to our house and Care Partners met with my mother, the staff at the home and my family to discuss comfort care and the end of life process. My mother was an extremely private and self-sufficient woman, Care Partners understood this and modified their care plan to keep her dignity intact as well as keep her pain-free for her remaining 5 days. I thank Care Partners from the bottom of my heart. They truly made a difference in our lives.

They immediately called us and said that they were increasing their service and RN Theresa and Michelle were there for us. SW - Gwen came by to make sure Mom and the family had the necessary support we needed during this trying time. Nurse Aide Leanna came by to give Mom her very much comforting sponge bath. And of course RN Devon made the necessary trek here even in inclement weather. Their services and care are not the standard run of the mill, 8a to 4p hours. Each one of them made the added effort to insure we didn't get lost and fall between the cracks. They were definitely working as a team. Their agency wasn't only saying it as a sales pitch but were truly doing it. They weren't only talking it, they were walking it. I have worked in State government for 33 years and after retiring, worked for 10 years with two non-profit agencies, so believe me when I say, you don't have to look any further, Gentiva Hospice Care is the real McCoy. I know that God's got their backs because they have Mom and our backs. She received her Last Rites and will be transitioning soon.
