In addition to meeting the patient’s medical needs, we understand that witnessing a loved one in chronic, severe pain or facing end of life realities can be emotionally difficult and strenuous. Through grief support and non-denominational spiritual counseling, our compassionate staff is here to walk beside you in life's most difficult times.

I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER STEVEN WRIGHT WHO WAS A HOSPICE PATIENT FOR ONE WEEK. WE ONLY CONSULTED HOSPICE FOR "ADDITIONAL" CARE FROM WHAT WAS BEING POORLY PROVIDED AT THE SKILLED NURSING FACILITY WHERE HE WAS STAYING. THE LEVEL OF CARE HAD GONE DOWNHILL AND AFTER A HOSPITAL ADMIT DUE TO THIS POOR CARE, THE DOCTOR RECOMMENDED WE TALK WITH HOSPICE TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD OFFER EVEN THOUGH MY BROTHER WAS NOT AT THE END OF HIS LIFE. AFTER MEETING WITH A HOSPICE REP WHO ASSURED ME THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF MORE THAN JUST END OF LIFE PATIENTS AND THAT THERE ARE MANY PATIENTS WHO HAVE CHRONIC ISSUES LIKE MY BROTHER WHO HAVE BEEN ON HOSPICE CARE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. BELIEVING WHAT THEY TOLD ME, I AGREED TO BRING THEM ON BOARD FOR HIM. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I EVER COULD HAVE MADE. IT WAS CLARIFIED MORE THAN ONCE TO THIS REP THAT MY BROTHER IS A FULL CODE. I WATCHED HER MAKE THAT NOTATION ON THE PAPERWORK. YET THE MINUTE WE BROUGHT THEM IN THEY WENT TO THE FACILITY HE WAS A PATIENT IN AND PLACED A DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER IN HIS CHART, TOOK AWAY ALL HIS NEEDED ASTHMA MEDICATIONS, CHANGED HIS BLOOD THINNER TO WARFARIN WHICH WE ALL KNOW IS NOTHING MORE THAN RAT POISON FOR FOLKS THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE HIGHER END MEDS. THEY INCREASED HIS MORPHINE TO THE POINT THAT HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO CARRY A CONVERSATION OR EAT A MEAL. HE WAS SEDATED CONTINUOUSLY FOR A WEEK BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE ONLY REASON I NOW KNOW IS BECAUSE HE IS IN THE HOSPITAL IN MUCH WORSE SHAPE BECAUSE HE HAS ASPIRATED WHAT FOOD THE FACILITY WAS FEEDING HIM WHILE HE WAS SEDATED. HOSPICE IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD TRIED TO EUTHANIZE MY BROTHER. THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM HIS CARE AND MY ADVICE TO ANYONE IS DO NOT ALLOW THEM OVER YOUR LOVED ONE'S CARE UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO BURY THAT PERSON.
