I am very unsatisfied with the care my father is recieving. I order medications and don't recieve…read morethem. Several times nurses show up when they feel like it not weekly or at a scheduled time. They act like they are trying but simply can't get it together. communication or scheduling is a shit show, not sure exactly what the issue is. Seems like a bunch of people who simply aren't qualified to do their jobs. I would of had less grief and head aches if they weren't in the picture. Using pathways will result in your dying family member not getting the care they deserve. Please go elsewhere! I was reccomend by the VA. I will be calling them also to communicate my dissapointment because it makes me sick to know that people who have done so much for our country in the last fase of life are getting the bottom of the barrel treatment.

Meredith Caplan and her team are amazing. After a bad accident, when I broke bones in two place,…read morethings were totally chaotic--ranging from intense pain to my husband being completely stressed. An hour after Meredith came, everything fell into place. The next day the first caregiver came, Meredith came with them, and she solved another problem. I've been a therapist, so-as sick as I was--I was still aware of f Meredith's impeccable ability to organize and make sense of, a complicated situation while still being human : ) Everybody who came was aware and compassionate and did the kind of second-guessing that people who are immobile rely on. I felt this when I was sick and now that I'm better my impression is stronger. I totally admire Meredith and Nick (the coordinator) and her team. I'd give them a hundred stars if I could.

Being eight months pregnant, I just wasn't able to do it all on my own, even though I wanted to. Having Alofa come was like having a member of the family here, as she spoke to my mom and held her hand, I could tell she really cared and so I was able to avoid the guilt of stepping away from my mom's side for a moment. She kept meticulous notes in a journal so I would know what happened while I was gone, and even noted down sweet things my mom had said to her about her love for me. If you want your loved ones in good, caring hands, this is the place to look.
