I'm on active duty in the U.S. Navy and have been trying to assist my father from afar for several years. He was living in an Independent Living facility there but his health and overall condition were declining. We decided to move him out to be near me in San Diego. I was connected with Shelby, who was extremely supportive and savvy at dealing with all of the various entities in both FL and CA. She quickly put everything in motion to facilitate his move out here, but unfortunately, my father's condition rapidly worsened and he passed away before we could make the move. I was fortunately able to make it out there to be with him when he passed. I really wish I had learned about Windward and the services that they provide quite a while ago, as there are so many things to navigate in the realm of senior care. Shelby, in particularly, was compassionate, responsive, and very knowledgeable on all aspects of care. I've personally recommended to friends to reach out to Windward in trying to assist their aging parents, and would do the same for anybody here. Thank you!

Highly recommended.

This should never have happened because I had told him not to go, and also because the company had agreed not to send anyone there without my presence because of her dementia. She let him in, which is not surprising given her level of dementia. But she told me that the visit made her very uncomfortable and anxious. I am amazed at how unprofessional he was.

According to Suncrest Hospice the company offers hospice care services with focus on treating the symptoms of disease progression to bring greater comfort for the patient. Unfortunately that kind of service was not provided to my father due to lack of proper assessment of level of care my father needed as his condition drastically changed within 24 hours of starting hospice care. Elizabeth Herrera, registered nurse with whom my mother signed the paperwork with, to start with hospice care, contacted us three days after our frustration was expressed to Taylor, nurse who was visiting father at home, offering three hours watching between nurse, social worker and chaplain, explaining that hospice in general doesn't provide 24 hours help. We didn't ask for it, but considering the situation we desperately needed someone to help with acute medical symptoms my mother explained that just watching wouldn't be sufficient help. I didn't sleep for 72 hours, tending to my dad. My dad was suffocating and suffering for days and thankfully we switched to another hospice providing crisis care, providing subcutaneous pain management, mucus, anxiety etcetera relief. Around the clock monitoring and adjusting meds and doses to make sure my dad's transition is a relaxed one. Suncrest Hospice failed to treat my dad humanely while Elizabeth was asking my mom if we are going to keep them or switch to another hospice, not offering to come to reasess the condition my father was in. Extremely disappointing and disheartening behavior. We had a sweet and caring nurse Taylor but the failure comes from management and much higher. It is unbelievable to see the difference in care now that we have had true hospice care, The Elizabeth Hospice. Their work was exceeding outstanding expectations. 12/27/23 To reply to your reply. How can you strive to be best in the industry when you do not have crisis care, no 24h care, no subcutaneous relief? You are checking sugar instead of helping a dying person die in peace and comfort. You are telling a patient whose insides are fried up from radiation, who cannot even swallow his own saliva, you are telling him that he will not get better if he refuses to take pills. He can not swallow.Not even the ones that melt under the tongue because everything come right back up and he starts chocking. You do not know what hospice is let alone to strive to be best in the industry.

After his hip surgery he was scheduled with a Physical Therapist by the name of Jules . From day one when I had spoken to her to get the physical therapy set up for my Dad, I immediately liked her. She has a calm and caring disposition and is the perfect example for an "Awesome Physical Therapist!" She is professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring, and efficient. She truly made a huge difference in helping my Dad recover from his hip surgery. Here are my Dad's exact words for Jules: I am writing to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for Jules, my physical therapist from Mission Home Health . My name is Michael Morneau, and I was a patient recovering from a total hip replacement. Jules visited me four or five times in total. and she was the best! She was personable, knowledgeable, and helped me immensely. I am confident I would not have made the progress I did without her. I truly appreciate her care and want to make sure her supervisory staff knows what a wonderful asset you have in her. It was truly my pleasure to have had her help me. These are the kinds of people in the world who truly make a difference! My family had peace of mind because they knew my Dad was in great hands with Jules!

My mother's end stage Alzheimer's diagnosis proved to be extremely challenging and I could no longer be her primary caregiver anymore. During this time, her neurologist put her on hospice and suggested memory care. I'm so glad I found Apreva Hospice when I didn't know where to turn. They have been such a blessing during the hardest thing I've ever been through and so on top of everything each step of the way. My case manager RN, Erin, was top notch and I was so impressed with her level of care, concern and communication with me regarding my mother's health. The music therapist, I believe her name was Rachel, was absolutely priceless and would come with her guitar and sing songs that my mom loved. Music therapy works miracles with dementia patients! She even came to sing her favorites on the day my mother was transitioning. It was such a beautiful blessing to witness. Although my mother was only in a memory care facility for the last month of her life, I am so thankful that Apreva worked with our memory care facility to allow her to have the best care possible in her final days. Even today, Apreva is still concerned with how I am handling the loss and want to make sure I know about their grief support services. Apreva Hospice is a stellar company to help you navigate your loved one's end of days with compassion, clarity and grace.

Rather than providing comfort and support, I found their care to be poorly coordinated, inadequately individualized, and at times clinically inappropriate. My sister had a complex medical history that included recurrent syncopal (fainting) episodes. Unfortunately, hospice staff repeatedly interpreted these episodes as signs that she was actively dying or "transitioning" without adequately reviewing her medical history or understanding her underlying condition. After one such episode, I received a call from a hospice representative through an out-of-state call center recommending that morphine be started immediately. There was no apparent clinical indication for morphine at that time, and the caller was unable to explain the rationale for the recommendation or answer basic questions. This was both unsettling and concerning. On another occasion, a hospice nurse recommended oral antibiotics for a suspected aspiration-related infection. At the time, my sister was unresponsive and not eating or drinking, making oral administration impractical. Concerned about the recommendation, I had her evaluated in the Emergency Department. No infection was found, no antibiotics were indicated, and her symptoms were ultimately attributed to another syncopal episode from which she later recovered. I was also told that all of my sister's oral medications should be discontinued, despite the fact that she was still taking medications orally and there was no clear clinical reason to stop them. This recommendation created unnecessary anxiety and confusion. The hospice chaplain's conduct was also unprofessional. Facility staff ultimately asked him not to return after he put his feet on a table and requested flowers that were being used for a resident activity. Several nurses at the care facility privately expressed concerns about the quality of hospice care they were observing and recommended that I consider changing hospice providers. By that point, my sister's condition had become increasingly unstable, and I felt that changing providers would only add more stress. She passed away later that week. What was perhaps most disappointing was the lack of follow-up after her death. Her primary hospice nurse never contacted me to offer condolences, answer questions, or provide support. As an advanced practice healthcare provider, I recognized a number of concerning issues that may not be apparent to families without medical training. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hospice organization.

My mother lives in an assisted living home, and there was some confusion over the paperwork for her brand-new wheelchair. I had spent quite a while on the phone with the head nurse, who assured me they had no paperwork and no proof that the new wheelchair we had purchased for my mother was even on the premises. Instead, I was told they believed she was using an older wheelchair that had been provided by hospice and that it had to be returned to hospice immediately. My heart just sank. I felt frustrated because I honestly felt like what I was saying wasn't being heard. I was being told they had paperwork that showed something completely different, and I started to feel defeated. Not only was I being told I might have to pay for the six months they believed my mother had been using the hospice wheelchair, but I was also being told I would need to purchase a new wheelchair for her. That was a huge financial double whammy, and I was honestly beside myself. When Kayla heard how upset I was, she didn't hesitate. She immediately jumped into action. She was calm, reassuring, and never made me feel like I was on my own. One phone call later, and in less than 20 minutes, the entire situation was resolved. The biggest thing I walked away with wasn't just that the problem got fixed. It was how Kayla made me feel. She made me feel taken care of. She made me feel protected. When you're trying to take care of an elderly parent, that kind of compassion means everything. Thank you, Kayla, for turning one of the most stressful days I've had in a long time into one with a happy ending. Comfort and Thrive is very fortunate to have you. And one last thing...please give this lady a raise. She absolutely deserves it.
