All members of the team were tightly coordinated and in sync in supporting us as my husband's transition accelerated after a very painful fracture of the shoulder. From Faith, a very experienced hospice aide, to McKenzie, the case manager who visited us almost every day, to Connie the weekend nurse whose wisdom, insight and patience carried us forward, to Catherine, the social worker, Valerie, Reiki specialist, and Frank the Chaplin - all brought unique and supportive perspectives as we navigated this challenging time. My husband and I wanted to do hospice at home and as his decline accelerated, this hospice team made the journey possible. I am forever grateful for the wonderful care my husband received and the comfort care my family was given. I would strongly recommend this hospice! Hard to express how truly outstanding the team was!!

If someone was unable to answer a question, they admitted it & got the answer for us. As a nurse, I can be very picky with medical care. We were so lucky to have Lindsay as the primary nurse for my mother in law. She guided the entire family ( 6 children!!!) through the dying process. She was able to anticipate needs of everyone & facilitated them, while always putting my mother in law first. She was also able to arrange for a well needed massage from Poppy who was perfect. I cannot say enough about this hospice team!!! The best- don't go anywhere else.

My fully-disabled parent had an appointment scheduled to follow up an MRI. Well, as fate would have…read moreit, the MRI got scheduled for the same day, 5 hours later. Obviously, we can't review MRI results for an MRI that hasn't happened, so I contacted the office to reschedule. I left a message with the answering service, then left several voicemails (during office hours) explaining the need to reschedule and reason, over the course of a week. When I received no response to those I even emailed through the website. No response. So a little over 24 hours before the scheduled appointment I left another office hours voicemail explaining that since I haven't heard from anyone it would be best to just cancel. The next day I received an automated message that we missed our appointment. Is this a medical practice that literally has no one checking voicemail? I am the full-time caretaker for two profoundly disabled individuals. I deal with medical appointments, doctors offices, and specialists all the time. I also have two full-time jobs, and work seven days a week to provide for those individuals. The stack of b.s. I deal with daily is sky high. The last thing I need is one provider's office adding one more thing to that stack. Caretaking someone with advanced dementia means a need for results in a reasonable amount of time, especially since medication changes are frequent. I can't wait months to forever to not hear from a provider with important medical information. So I contacted insurance, found NE Neurological, who got us in next month. Just putting that out there for anyone also in need of a responsive specialist for a loved one.

The rest of the staff is super sweet and helpful as well.

Don't walk but RUN away from this facility. My mother stayed in the Reflections section (Dementia…read moreunit). From the first week she moved in, they increased her monthly fee by thousands of dollars because she needed additional care. I would have agreed to it if they provided the care that they promised, but they did not. And once you are there, you are stuck paying the extra costs until you can get your loved one out. We had to hire private care to come in to care for our mother until we could find a better facility. Management does not care. We met with them several times, but nothing changed. My mother suffered many UTIs and a fall under their care, and several visits to the hospital. She was not like this when she first moved in. Neglect of general and hygiene care put her deeper and deeper into poor health. One example: My mother fell from her bed in the early morning. An aide came in and saw her on the floor. She looked at her but did not bend down to see if she was okay. The aide left and came back 15 minutes later with help. 15 minutes! I would not recommend this facility if your loved one needs assistance.

If that's true, why are you constantly calling trying to get us to sign on the dotted line? Why not just go to the first name on this supposed waiting list? This facility did not even have my mom sign the contract even though she was perfectly capable of making her own decision to contract with a stay at home service just a week before and to sign the documents herself. Instead, they allowed her grandson to sign for her and to commit her to over a hundred thousand dollars a year. She didn't completely understand all of the extra fees. Almost nine thousand dollars a month for the most basic of care and you charge for phone and cable? You have extra fees for laundry to be done? She said, "They don't even provide toilet paper." When I asked how much it would be if my mom needed to be wheeled in a wheelchair to get to her meals etc., I didn't get a straight answer. It was, oh we'll reevaluate. We just can't say. They also charge $5,000 for you to even move in. When I asked what this was for, they said it's standard to charge for the nurse to sit with the resident and make a plan. Really? $5,000? The at-home service did that for free before she even signed their contract. Sounds like the sales person is getting a nice big commission.

It's been easy to schedule appointments with the very friendly office staff. The therapists I've seen (Megan, Ben, and Donna) have been knowledgeable, professional, thorough, encouraging, friendly, and just plain great. They've clearly explained the how and why of the treatment process, answered all my questions, and I've seen an improvement after every appointment. The end result was that I was able to confidently return to an active lifestyle. I also really like the fact that after the initial one-hour evaluation, the appointments are each 1/2 hour long with the therapist focused on only me. Each therapist only has one patient at a time so there's no down-time, waiting to be told what to do next like I've seen at other PT clinics. They give a manageable amount of effective "homework" each time, along with a thorough explanation of how to do the "assignment." Progress is steady and the outcome has always been positive. If I need PT in the future, there will be no question about where to go!

Staff…read morewere incredibly short and rude with my mother, both during intake and on the phone when she repeatedly tried to tell them the medication list they had for him was incorrect and included gabapentin, which his doctor had recently taken him off of due to a prior adverse reaction. Instead of checking/confirming with his doctor, they brushed her off and said "We have the list from his pharmacy"--- which was not correct because it still included the gabapentin. When she called to follow up (because she did not feel heard by the intake staff), or to ask a question about insurance coverage, staff either told her they would call her back but never did, or transferred her to voicemail, and her messages were never returned. THEN, when my dad returned home, he was so overmedicated on downers that he was slurring his words! When my mom called Adcare to ask what kind of drugs they had given him and when, they said the night before he had been given a combination of ....melatonin, benadryl, AND GABAPENTIN!!! A quick Google search, and even a non-medical professional can find out that that's not a recommended combo, especially for older folks who could have slowed breathing, fall risks, etc, (and definitely not for people who have had adverse reactions). Finally, the discharge paperwork they sent home said, "Patient given a prescription for Narcan." and the box was checked!! My dad is trying to kick alcohol -- Narcan is for opioids, so we are not sure what to make of that. Patients are more than addicts, they are vulnerable humans who are there to get help and care. They and the people who love them are trusting that they will be safe there, and deserve better. This might have been a better review, if staff had approached a caring family member's concerns with empathy instead of brushing them off, and been willing to take a moment to check and confirm my dad's meds list.
