When a loved one is first put on hospice there are so many questions and she's been so welcoming to questions and reassuring, and just a breath of fresh air during this process. Then Juan (the Chaplin) came to visit, and make sure things were in order, he was answering all our questions as well, letting us know the extent on what Vitas provided and just another friendly face to represent such a great company. We are extremely happy with their service and glad they are helping us through this change. I highly recommend them.

We received hospice services from VITAS for approximately two weeks. The social worker and CNA were…read moreboth compassionate, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, our experience with the nursing staff and telephone support services was very disappointing. After our loved one passed away, we waited nearly three hours for a nurse to arrive and officially pronounce the death because only one nurse was available that day. When the nurse arrived, she did not check for a pulse or heartbeat. Instead, she simply pulled back the sheet, looked at our loved one, and stated the time of death. We felt this lacked the dignity and respect our loved one deserved, as well as the compassion our family needed during such a difficult moment. Since then, I have attempted to contact the company multiple times to discuss our concerns, but my calls have not been returned. In addition, we were left with several controlled medications and were not provided with instructions for their safe disposal. While we greatly appreciated the care provided by the social worker and CNA, our overall experience with VITAS did not meet our expectations for hospice care, and I would not recommend this company based on our experience.

I didn't know anything yet about hospice care when I had to find care for my dying Mom. We engaged…read morePacific knowing next to nothing about them, but thank heavens, it was a great choice. There is a whole staff, of course, but the women I dealt with were universally wonderful. We had round-the-clock in home care for five days, and all the VNs that came in for their shifts were thorough, conscientious, knowledgable, patient and good tempered. They tolerated my dog nosing through their things with admirable grace. Their supervisor, Nan, was wonderful. She has a lot of energy and at first I thought it might be too much for me to handle in my state, but she proved to be the pillar that I leaned on for those terrible five days I had to watch my Mom slip away. She fought to get Mom the care she needed, and the support *I* needed, even when I didn't know how to ask for it. The only hitch was there was a delay in getting the necessary information from their physician, Dr. Turzian, after Mom's death, which delayed her scheduled cremation for several days, and necessitated several phone calls to get what was needed. But while my Mom was alive, she couldn't have had better care. Hospice care is something you hope you will never need, but if you do find yourself needed to care for a dying loved one, I would whole-heartedly recommend giving these women a call.

The nurse who visited the first night was wonderful and she determined that my father might not make it in the next 48 hours. She requested 24 hour nursing to be present. No one showed up.

I heavily researched hospices in the LA area before deciding on Silverado. They did not disappoint…read moreand were about as great as a hospice provider as I could ask for. My sister needed round-the-clock continuous care and they not only provided it, but worked hard against the bureaucracy and red tape of insurance to make sure that my sister had all the care and support she needed. I cannot believe how hard the staff worked to support my sister and my family during this trying time. They were professional, but more importantly, they treated us like fellow human beings. It was that feeling of love and support throughout the process that really made me glad I had chosen them. Carina (Karina? Sp?) was on the phone and texting me from day 1 to ensure everything went smoothly. It felt like she was working 10-12 hour days for the first 4 days - whenever I needed something or had a question, she got back to me within an hour or two when a lot of things were in motion and I needed that level of coordination. Daleth was the RN who visited my sister daily to check on her and she worked hard and thought creatively to ensure my sister's continuous care was uninterrupted by insurance's red tape. She was caring, thoughtful, empathetic, and excellent at her job. I felt so fortunate to have her as my sister's case manager. The staffing agency Silverado used to supply continuous care for my sister was also a godsend. I worried that the nurses sent would be semi-committed or ambivalent about their jobs but they care SO SO much. Isaac checked on my sister like she was his own relative and Maria did the same as well. I couldn't believe there were so many committed and caring staff on the same team, it was all I could hope for. Thank you again for caring for my sister. Your level of personal commitment and love is so appreciated by all of us.

They were able to find care for my dad pretty quickly and also made sure to answer all my questions and let me vet caregivers before they scheduled them. If a caregiver could not make a shift, they made sure to give me advance notice so they could help me find an alternate caregiver quickly. Both of them worked night and day to make sure my dad's care was adequately covered 24/7. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I really appreciate the two of them making it possible for me to care for my dad from afar with all of their hard work making sure caregivers were in place quickly.
