Please do not send your loved one here for care!!!!!
The staff did not wake or feed my wife for a 5 days.
They brought in food one day but left it against the wall four feet away from her bed and she only ate something because I helped her none of the staff did. They only give pain and anxiety and other medicine to my wife and keep her laying flat for the five days and caused her to develop lots of congestion in her chest. I had to tell the doctor she had lots of congestion and the doctor said oh we can give her. a patch to help with that. They told me the do not wake or sit up or feed patients, they just make them comfortable by keeping them medicated so they can't talk.
After I saw the care for five days I had to have her brought home so I could care for her. Had a nurse tell me that two different pain meds were the same.
The day after my wife got there she could no longer text or call me on the phone much less hold a small styrofoam cup of coffee. They had several nurses but only three patients on the floor all in the same condition. They said the didn't want to set me up for failure, i said I can handle her care better than you and just need a bed. Then they didn't even come back in the room to tell me it was being delivered that day.
We got her home and within a day or two had her awake and talking and fighting the congestion they caused and stole a week or more of my time that I could talk with her due to laying her flat for a 5 days and not feeding or giving her anything to drink.
See the before and after comparison photos below and what true care can do.
My wife would be appalled at the care she received at Houston Hospice. My wife was a nurse for 23 years and worked in LTAC ( long term acute care) units. She took care of 8 or 9 or even more patients that were on ventilator and bed ridden. She also worked in the ICU from time to time.
Whatever you do don't waste the precious time you have with a loved one by sending them to Houston Hospice they are terrible. read more
