Despite her daughter's devoted care, the facility suddenly restricted all visitors, including family. Her mother was isolated in her room with no explanation or compassion. She stopped eating, withdrew from the world, and fell into a deep depression. Before this, she was engaged and alert--but once cut off from human connection, she declined rapidly and passed away far sooner than expected. This facility took away her dignity and her will to live. No one should have to endure that. Run--don't walk--away from this place.

I highly recommend PIC.

I would not hesitate recommending Visiting Angels to anyone looking for a good career with a great organization.

The company, however, has terrible protocols and doesn't pay people enough and even though I knew and my paid caregiver knew he was dying in the last week I was left largely on my own unless I actually called for help. In other words, they weren't there when I needed them the most. Other problems: 1. Large turnover because they aren't paying their people enough in spite of the fact that they were charging the federal government over $5000 a month for 4-5 nursing visits each month. 2. No one ever gave me the book about "what to expect" during death. 3. CNAs and Nurses kept expecting me to know what to do next. One CNA made fun of me because I'd never put on a diaper. 4. On a desperate weekend when my spouse was pouring excrement from his poor old body I put in a desperate phone call and was TRANSFERRED TO A PORTLAND NUMBER -- there was nobody in the office here. Overall -- most of the individuals I worked with were caring in themselves, but the protocols they were following sucked and THEY LEFT ME ON MY OWN JUST WHEN I NEEDED THE MOST CARE. I cannot recommend the company.

Hate to say it, but my patience has finally run out with Heart n' Home Hospice. They used to be a…read moresmall, AMAZING agency with AWESOME people. I've worked hand in hand with this agency for over 11 years. They always rose to the challenge and ALWAYS took care of the patients as well as the providers. They especially went out of their way to recognize our Veterans. BUT - THINGS CHANGE - They were bought out by a huge national corporation last fall. The company is all about MONEY and NOT the Patients. They still have a few of the awesome folks working there, but since the buyout, a huge percentage of the employees and management left. To fill those management positions, corporate put folks in that quite frankly, are in over their heads. Never have I had to practically BEG for services and supplies for a Hospice Patient and actually end up paying out of my pocket to provide that patient with what they need, all while hearing from Heart n' Home corporate heads about the $$$$$. Then, to top it off, to be accused of being "needy" (wanted one additional day per week, for shower assistance) by the supervising RN? Not to mention the Executive Director was very condescending and arrogant to not only myself, but to the family of a patient? To witness the GOOD STAFF that brought supplies, get reamed out afterwards, by their Executive Director, for doing the right thing? Despite all this, I was still willing to work with them, no matter how CHEAP they were becoming. HOWEVER - the FINAL STRAW with me, was NO RECOGNITION OR RESPECT FOR A VIET NAM COMBAT VET........shameful and disgusting!!!!! It's obvious to me, this company is all about corporate earnings/profits and NOT about the patients or people working for them. Sad Day, Indeed...

This company in my opinion is very poorly run and I feel the Owner/Director comes across quite narcistic. Support staff in office, delightful. They have never sent a caregiver that could fulfill my loved one's needs. They create shifts around the employees' desires vs clients needs. Had one caregiver say they could not start prior to about noon as they had trouble getting out of bed in the mornings. I would have to agree with the prior review that says a better name would be At Home "Zero Care" group. Could not recommend in good conscience.

We paid $670 Up front for this care. We traveled out of state and from hundreds of miles away got the phone call from home instead saying that the care giver had car trouble and would not be coming. The receptionist was rude and had an attitude. She'd tried other care givers but no one wanted to work on Halloween. Not only did they not show up for services already paid for, but suggested that we should get a friend to look in on her. The next morning she fell, injuring herself, friends had to take care of mom. We get another call from home instead saying, our care giver is sick...not sure if we can come out today either...but you'll be home anyway so it won't matter, right? (this was before 9am and we were scheduled to be home by midnight.) As it turned out, they found someone that day. Upon our return, I called and was told, " I'm so sorry, I've worked for this company for 12 years and this is never happened. Our staff did violate company policy, unfortunately you were just an unlucky family." I requested that the owner be notified so this wouldn't happen again to someone else. I asked for a refund for the day they didn't show up and was told of course. When I checked the mail, did I get a refund, no, I got a bill for $400+. When I called again, no pretense of being nice this time, I was briskly told that they hadn't applied my payment yet. I still don't have a refund. The owner never called to apologize. Needless to say, I would never use or recommend Home Instead again. Beware, you could be the next unfortunate family.
