I was often told they could not supply my loved one with supplies which forced me to buy my own. I requested my loved one receive medication for possible UTI, but it was denied.

Since my father served in the Army they offered to play Taps and honored his service with plaque and U.S. Flag pin given to my mother. When the funeral home came to transfer my father they draped him with a U.S. Flag and everyone in the hallway paid their respects while Taps played and fellow Vets were saluting and others with their head bowed as they escorted him to the funeral home. Thank you for making us feel so special and important for the short time we were there.

This place should be shut down and if you love someone, do not send them here. My mother was…read moretransferred here after having surgery on her leg. The depressing, dirty, dim lit entrance resembles a scene from American Horror Story and the poor service matches that. The first night my mother was there we called the nurse to help change her bed pan. An hour later no one had arrived and my mother was crying from the pain so I had to remove the overfilled pan while some of her urine splashed on me. When the nurse finally arrived I told her we didn't need her anymore since I did it myself and she rolled her eyes with a deep "UGH" and left the room. The attitude from the staff is astonishing. It's hard enough to have a loved one suffering while you worry about their well being but dealing with unprofessional health care workers who clearly hate their jobs and are constantly annoyed when you ask for help only adds to your stress. The food was also horrendous. When I showed them the pictures of the inedible food they served, they asked ME what it was. The dietician told me that the food was "standard" and when I asked her if she would eat it, she wouldn't respond. When I finally found a wonderful facility for my mother, Sonterra lied about submitting her paperwork which delayed the process. These people are liars who only care about insurance money and would rather drug their patients to stay in bed all day so they don't have to work than actually treat or care for their patients. I've told my mother's doctors to never recommend this facility to anyone and have also been alerting my friends and family in San Antonio to avoid this place at all costs.

Sonterra Health Center (SHC) shows a genuine interest in our loved one. They care about the family…read moreunit and make every effort to connect with the families to ensure our loved one's needs are met as quickly as possible for their long term health needs. The staff attends to matters that concern their patients and work tirelessly to assist their patients in bettering situations as they arise. For this we are greatly appreciative. Quality of care starts from the top down from professional administration to the outstanding nursing staff to physical/occupational therapies, cleaning, maintenance and reception. Each skill attends to the patients with respect and dignity as if they were their relatives (the kind you love). All levels of the SHC have touched us personally with their abilities and they go the extra mile to make my brother's experience a positive one. As I said, the office experience we've had started with administration, VA in house support, reception and each category work well together to make the entire process as smooth as possible. Each of the skills work in tandem with their counterparts, the patients and families to make SHC a welcome and pleasing experience for our loved ones. If I am to be honest, there is one area that needs improvement and that is the food system. A primary thought is that of the nutritional requirements of the patients like my brother being a diabetic. I see very little initiative in maintaining a consistent diabetic diet per CDC guidelines. Additionally, I'm a high proponent of management awareness of what the "customers" i.e., patients are eating to see if quality changes should be made in an effort to make life better on a daily basis. As stated earlier, I/we consider all the major branches of staff at SHC are exceptional and the food part could do better to make SHC an all around exceptional center for its patients. Kudos to the following staff members in no particular order: Josh (Admin), Kendra, Candace, Tony Bass, Val, Maria, Angie, Mica, Gloria, Christina, Jennifer, Pearl, Jackie, Juan, Kimberly, Miriam, Cole, Michael, Matthew, Jonathan, Kiaria (Reception), LaRanda, Stephanie, Casey, Maria, Wanda, Alex, Josh (Maintenance), Charles and Steven Keep up the good work SHC, we appreciate you!

Dear Christus VNA, I…read moream long overdue for writing this post, as my mother passed away Thanksgiving night of 2021, but I would be out of line if I did not. First, to sum up your care...simply outstanding from start to finish. For those looking to transition your mother to live with you, that process was seamless. My mother moved from Mississippi, where she was under hospice care, to TX, and the transition of service never missed a beat. When she arrived, everything was here waiting on her, to include her bed (already set up). Throughout my mother's six months of survival after she arrived in San Antonio, CHRISTUS VNA were extremely professional and caring, from the nurses, care providers, social workers, chaplains, etc. Whenever I called to ask questions or report an advancement in her Alzheimer's stages, they were at our home within 24 hours of my call, if not the same day. My wife is actually a nurse, but there is something special about having a hospice nurse to assist you. I know all experiences are different, but I simply had to share this organization made my mother's remaining moments special, and comforted us as well. May God Bless your entire staff. Paul A.

Having both parents in need of care was such challenge, I felt overwhelmed and out of control. After I met and talked with Michelle Ballero I felt hopeful and optimistic for the first time. She is a Godsend, energetic with a beautiful spirit and an absolute total knowledge of what to do to help those who are struggling and lost. She knew what we needed and made sure we got it. Our admitting nurse Melissa has great empathy, and even put my mother at ease. Both handled my parents with genuine care, confidence and competence, and I'm SO glad they are there for all of us. Thank you Opus Care, if you had a billboard I would gladly wear it! Sharon Lofton

Companion Hospice was our choice to take care of my sister-n-law in Jan. 2024. I can not say enough…read moregood things about the care and support they gave us! Mary, the Administrator, is amazing! She always does what she says she's going to do and was there for us anytime we needed her. She treated us like family and fought for my sister-n-law's wishes. She is very knowledgeable, being a RN herself, and helped us better understand the current medical situation of my sister-n-law. Mary's main goal was what was best for the patient not what was best for the medical companies involved. Jacqueline, social worker, is such a sweetheart. She helped us with all the paperwork, making everything smooth and easy. Even coming on very short notice when we realized there were some legal forms we needed notarized and completed quickly. Noelia, one of the RN's, is so kind, loving and supportive. She genuinely wants what is best for the patient and works hard with the facility that the patient is in to get the best care for the patient. I once again was in a position to need hospice for a family friend just yesterday and called Mary early on a Wednesday morning. She quickly got back to me and within a very short time was personally at the hospital helping us get the patient into a hospice facility. Even before she could physically come to the hospital she was already working on things for the patient. Everything was quickly and smoothly handled, by early that afternoon the patient had been transported to a beautiful Hospice Facility and made comfortable. When you are in a position that you need a Hospice company to be involved in your loved ones care, it can be scary, emotional, confusing and overwhelming. But I can say that all the staff that helped us from Companion Hospice made both times for me simple, smooth, stress free and I was comforted, educated, supported and extremely well taken care of. I highly recommend them!

The Atlanta Texas team is awesome.

When no one else could get him to shower April could. when he was being ugly to her she still treated him with love. Billy Skidmore was his nurse and he was always just a call away. He never once failed to not come. when my father in law passed away Billy was right there with me until my husband showed up. Lorraine Cherry is the director I believe and she always helped make sure things were done right. she I believe hand picked her staff. Nathan Hill was his chaplain and would pray with him and when he wanted no part of that then he would sit and play cards with him.
