    Looking for a peaceful passage for your loved one? Beware of Hospice of Michigan!…read moreHospice of Michigan was going to take care of all the arrangements for our mother to go home from the hospital. Our mother expressed great relief that she was going to actualize her desire to go home. It was her one wish, to leave this earth in dignity surrounded by the comforts only one's own home and loving family can provide. Something HOM professes to provide and support. A team of personnel would be there to accept our mother and educate the family on how to provide care. According to HOM, everything would be "taken care of for the patient and the family". On July 2, 2015 the day our mother was to arrive home, after repeated calls to HOM and continued assurances from HOM every time we called, that everything necessary would be there soon, as of 4pm, no bed, no oxygen, no team of qualified experts to help the patient's transition, NOTHING had arrived at our home. We called HOM again after 4pm but were forced to leave a voicemail, which was not returned by HOM personnel until Monday morning July 6, 2015. Not once, was the family contacted by anyone from HOM to assure that everything was in place for our mother's arrival home. Our dear mother had been placed in a medical transport vehicle, and driven 135 miles to her home without verification that anything was in place to receive her. When she arrived at her home, our mother was forced to sit inside of the transport vehicle for 45 minutes while her family frantically tried to get the equipment and the professional help they were promised by HOM. There was no way to even move her inside of her own house as the oxygen from the transport vehicle was running low and the transport personnel feared running out altogether. After repeated attempts to rectify this unconscionable situation with HOM, our family made the agonizing decision to divert our mother to the nearest hospital, another 45 minutes away, in order to prevent her from dying in her own driveway. It was heartbreaking for us to see the look in her eyes as they closed the doors and drove her to yet another hospital after she was promised by HOM that she could go to her own home. Our mother, died with strangers, in a hospital, instead of at home surrounded by those she loved, because the professionals she trusted with her last wish in life didn't do their job. They did not take care of anything they were entrusted to do for her or our family. Neither did they do any follow up for support care after our dear mother died. In fact, the voicemail left on July 2, 2015 for HOM after 4pm was not returned until Monday July 6, 2015 when HOM called and asked to speak with our mother, forcing us to explain that she had already died in the hospital on July 3, 2015. The only communication with HOM our family has received has been a request for a donation to "help patients die at home in dignity and comfort in the arms of their family (with the hospice team present)." It is a bitter irony to be asked to support the same considerations that HOM denied our mother and our family due to a complete lack of professionalism and care. Our family has had no closure because of the failure of Hospice of Michigan to "take care of everything" as they promised they would. We are agonized over not having being allowed to provide our mother with her dying wish and for being deprived of being there to help her passing. HOM is a negligent organization and if you have any other choice of hospice providers you will save yourself and your family a great deal of suffering by choosing a more caring and professional hospice organization.
