My first contact with Hospice of the Valley was when I called to find out about the process of…read moresetting up hospice care for my father. The woman I spoke with was extremely patient and thorough in answering all my questions. Fast forward two days. While my sister and my dad's companion were unable to make decisions on the needs of my father and his quick decline, the urgency in my sister's voice forced the decisions on what would be the best for him. Hospice was contacted and they had an in-take nurse out within 2 hours on a Thursday, about 7 pm. A plan was created for my dad and he was made comfortable. The following morning, day two, his case RN came to his home and a more detailed plan was formed. The needed meds were at my dad's house within several hours. I arrived on the third day of my dad being in hospice. While he seems somewhat better this day, we are noticing a downward trend in multiple areas. A hospice nurse stopped by as my dad caused a skin tear on his leg while we were transferring him from the toilet to the walker seat and we had trouble getting the bleeding to stop. On the fourth day in hospice, Dad had a very difficult night and the decision was made that we needed a hospital bed in hopes that we could make him more comfortable by elevating his head and knees. Hospice was contacted and we had a hospital bed within 3 hours. On the morning of the fifth day, it became quite evident that my dad's passing was imminent but we needed better pain management. Janelle, his hospice nurse, came out and spent about 2 hours with us. She walked us through the process of dying and how to ensure that our dad wouldn't be in pain. She shared with me how to take the meds, crushing them up and adding water so I could administer these drugs with a syringe into his mouth until the liquid meds got to us. No, hospice can't take away our sorrow, but they did make sure that my dad was not in pain from cancer that had metastasized into his bones, spine, and brain. Within several hours of passing, hospice had my dad's body removed from his home to the funeral home that was prearranged. The following day, the hospital bed and other equipment had been picked up. The only issue we had was not so much with hospice but the third-party company they contract with to get the meds out to the patient's homes. That company sent two of one prescription instead of an extended-release painkiller. This was rectified the following day.

My fiancé went under Hospice care from home on July 5, 2026 and passed away on September 1, 2026…read more Her care was not 100% all of the time. The very first visit from Hospice was very depressing. Kimberly a nurse and a spokesperson for Hospice was very negative about my fiancé's prognosis. She was talking about taking her off her medications because she would not be around long. I realize that Hospice is for a persons end of life but still you don't treat people that way. As a family we were hoping for her to get better. There were some good nurses and CNA's that gave my fiancé quality care. On the last weekend of my fiancés life Kimberly and my fiancés regular nurse came on Friday to treat the leg wound she had. Well she was in a great deal of pain so Kimberly and the nurse after consulting the doctor decided to give my fiancé three full syringes of morphine in a 90 minute time frame. That is way too much morphine at one time. The result from this was that she was still in a lot of pain. Afterwards she was in a deep sleep for the next five days until her death. Needless to say she did not eat or drink. She had been on strong doses of morphine before as well. After reading this you be the judge of what happened. If I ever get in a state of when I need care I NEVER want Hospice for care!

We were struggling to sort thru what to do about a difficult cancer diagnosis, and having severe…read morehealth issues from all the stress. We reached out to Noble to see if their Palliative Care service might be helpful. Oh boy was it! They were very quick to get in touch and Sarah got a sense of what was going on, and helped with some initial calming and support (which was much needed at the time and had a real impact). Then we had a few more meetings with Nadine who we can't thank enough for all of her support and caring. They both made a real difference when we needed it most. They helped calm our thinking, and boost our emotional strength, resilience. They helped us settle down, become less confused and stressed out, and that allowed us to deal with the situation, to do what we needed to make tough decisions and get thru some very hard times. If they hadn't been there to help, our lives would have gone sideways more than once. The impact they had on us may well have saved my life. The default path we were heading down when we reached out to them had a hidden life-threatening risk that we likely wouldn't have avoided. Being able to find our way to a better path made a huge difference. For anyone considering Noble, I can tell you from our experience, these folks are wonderful! I am keeping their name & number because I can't see ever working with anyone else. Thank you, Noble. The people here are absolutely the best!

Noble poached our loved one out of Temple Post Acute(TPA) who was there for rehabilitation after…read moremajor back surgery. She was discharged from TPA and at the meeting a Noble sales rep attended the meeting. As the patient was at TPA for rehab we knew she was NOT terminal and the rep told us Noble was there to help. So we agreed, she came home and I was the main caregiver. At first Noble seemed helpful--the first two nurses were great. Then came the 3rd nurse on May 10th 2026. She immediately withheld her diabetic medication cold turkey--a medicine she had been taking daily for over 3 years. On May 27th 2026 she died. If you care about your Loved one avoid TPA and Noble Hospice like the plague. They don't care about you--it's all about the money.

Hospice provided transportation to Dobson home using a third party transport company. The transport van was not meant for transporting humans. We live in Arizona and the temperature was over 100 degrees when they literally shoved my father in the back of a non air conditioned van. When I say shove I mean aggressively slamming him into the van repeatedly. If I was there this would not have been allowed to happen but unfortunately I wasn't.

If you need to see your loved one, staff will let you in. No appointments needed. Drop in anytime. Nothing to hide. Most of the staff workers are great. They've treated us like family. I do want to point out three that really stand out. Nurse Lisa. Therapist Doug. Care manager Luisa.

They earned the trust of both my mother (currently 92) and myself. I live in California and knowing that I could trust Monica and Lisa to look out for my mother and I could contact them at any time was my highest priority. The team of caregivers lead by Monica and Lisa were caring and giving. They did the daily tasks well of making sure my mother was comfortable, safe, consistent with her prescriptions and provided companionship. They did the special emergency situations exceptionally well, changing their schedule to deal with falls and accompanying my mother to the hospital. Recently I moved my mother to California to be closer to me. My only regret is that I could not convince Monica and Lisa to move with her.

First let me say this, Not all Hospice Care Companies are alike!…read more Read on: Sapphire Hospice care Nurses, CNA's and Social Workers are truly Angels from Heaven! My Mother-in-law received fantastic long term Hospice care at her assisted living facilities from all her Nurses that were assigned to her. When we had to move her to different Assisted Living facilities due to her needing higher levels of care, because of her severe Dementia, they followed her to each facility. They continued to provide her with fantastic care of her for well over a year. Their nurses were nothing short of fantastic. Their Social worker also assisted us with applying and obtaining Arizona Long Term Care Assistance when she needed it, as she ran out of money towards the end. I can not stress enough, that not all Hospice Care companies are the same in the Phoenix area. Sapphire Hospice is Top Rated compared to other Hospice companies that service our elderly. I learned this when other assisted residents relatives, would see the incredible A+ service my mother-in-law was receiving from Sapphire Hospice Nurses and CNA's as compared to their relatives receiving substantially less long term Hospice care with other Hospice care companies. This became so evident that many other assisted living relatives, changed their Hospice care for their loved ones to Sapphire Hospice. My wife and I highly recommend Sapphire Hospice to put your trust in for your loved ones absolute best care towards their end of life. Thank You Sapphire Hospice for all that you do!

She had severe dementia and she liked to wonder off the premises a lot. The care she received from all the staff was truly amazing!!! Staff physically saw her 2 to three times a week and they phoned me with an update every time they saw her. They were very patient and professional. When my mom needed to be seen every day for what ever reason they did so. For a short time period my mom was at a very very bad memory care facility that I was not aware as to how bad they were. So for three weeks the only care my mom received was from Sapphire Hospice!!! The facility was not feeding, bathing, giving my mom her medication or doing her laundry. If it wasn't for Sapphire Hospice staff my mom would have died at that facility. With Sapphire Hospice staff assistance I found a group home for my mom that actually cared for her. Not all Hospice are the same. If you want an amazing experience try Sapphire Hospice!!!
