Houston Hospice - Diamond Team, lasted a week before I had to fire them and find another hospice…read morethat could provide end of life care for my mother. To begin, their intake nurses are rough, belligerent and detached. The lady we got could care less about my mother, she just wanted to do the minimum and get out. Not a single commitment was upheld, not one. We called for support and help four times in the first week and the average time to hear back from someone was two hours, then another two hours for a nurse to arrive. So if you have an emergency, just call the ambulance and have the hospital take care of it, it's faster, and your loved one will suffer less. Now, as a result of me firing them, they became hostile, threatened to make me pay for equipment they left behind and failed to retrieve. They never took into consideration that my mom had died and their employees, having missed the appointment to pick up the equipment, lied and said a dead woman was preventing them from getting it. We choose to go with another company who was hands down better suited for caring for end of life patients. Houston Hospice is a money game, you are a dollar sign, if you are cool with that, then use them.

It was very clean, the family and I really liked the simple but pretty artwork and the comfortable accommodations for family and friends who were visiting the facility. I wish I'd taken photographs and particularly of the artwork on the walls. It seemed very clean to me which is important and the staff was very nice. I met a couple of the chaplains and they were wonderful. One of the chaplains also followed up with the key family member after the death to ensure that they were doing OK and provide a grief counseling referral if needed. It's not easy being at a hospice inpatient facility, but there was a lot to recommend this place. Really good experience despite the difficulty of the circumstances.

Someone finally came out and told the 25 people still waiting (some 10 hours) what was going on. When asked where you were in line, the front desk had no clue or was unable to tell you. Something needs to be done about the wait time. Second, once in the hospital room, the hospital phone in the room starts ringing and it was solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while I was in my husband's room, he receives 8-10 selling insurance. This is extremely disturbing to the patient as the patient think is it his/her love one - even though they do not have the direct no. to the room. I asked at the front desk and they indicated it had been going on for some time. Why do they get telephone number information in the rooms in your hospital?????????? I sure the news media is not aware of this. The nurses and doctors are very good once you get in a room. Thanks. SH

My Sister was at Memorial CIty Memorial Hermann requiring the Phillips V60 Bi-Pap at 100% oxygen…read more.. we only agreed to take her to Memorial Hermann Hospice after 3 separate representatives from MHH stated we could have the same or better equipment to provide my Sister 100% o2. There was debate if this was treatment or comfort. Our Doctor and the "3" respectfully agreed this was comfort. However, when we arrived at the Memorial Hermann Hospice the Bi-Pap was a small Phillips Respironics AVAPS, and the o2 was set to 45%. My sister passed within minutes of being on this lesser machine with much less oxygen. Why did they not increase the setting to at least 90% (close to the max for this model)?? And why did we not get the same or better equipment as promised? Are they liars or incompetent? Please visit this facility and visually confirm the room equipment before signing the hospital release papers... you don't have to sign them. You can stay at the hospital and be transferred to an Ltech room... but still have the required equipment for your loved one. Please visually verify everything they say they will provide... and ensure settings and oxygen are what is required for the comfort of your loved one.Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.
