“The Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice care was very supportive all through a very long illness. God bless them.”
I agreed with their approach, I agreed with their philosophy and how they handled this passage from this lifetime.(Social worker) Stephanie was Terrific! The nurse would even call us on her own time to check on my mother’s status. (And) I couldn’t have asked for better aides…when they found out my mother was Lithuanian and loved perogies, they brought her perogies. While my mother was at home, the aides walked with her, read Dear Abby and treated my mother as if she was their mom. And … Read more
Our whole family was impressed with the nurses and home health aides. They not only did a great job with my husband but also took the time to talk and listen to us. It was a terrible time of my life to see my husband passing away, but a great gift not only to my husband, who was able to stay at home, but to his whole family who got to spend many hours a day with him.
“Hospice provided us the ability to fulfill late husband’s wishes to pass at home, although very difficult undertaking at first, hospice nurse was kind and understanding of our stresses and helped us with making his wishes happen. Thank you all for your help.”
The level of care was unbelievable. The nurses and aides were angels, the volunteers were lifesavers. We could not have gotten through this without them. We will be forever grateful.
The hope, love, and dignity hospice care gives us is sent from angels.
I want to thank all the nurses, both day and evening shifts. Their commitment to patients and families is amazing! I continue to keep them in my prayers.
“What your facility does for the terminal patient is so important. God bless you all.”
I couldn’t have done this without hospice assistance. Our nurse was extremely helpful and very caring. The chaplain went out of her way to help my mother and my family. She did an outstanding job, and is a true servant of God. Hospice, as a group, made my job easier. They educated me on what would be, which relieved me of my unknown fears. I highly recommend that all those in need contact hospice, and I campaign for people to donate and contribute to this wonderful organization.
No words could ever express my gratitude for all that your organization did for me and my family. The wonderful care provided in my mom’s time of need was exceptional. Instead of feeling uncomfortable having strangers come to our home, it felt warm and comforting like old friends coming to lend a hand. You are all very special people and I commend you on a job well done.
