I thought I was doing the right thing with going with this hospice service. I even turned down St. Francis hospice to use this. BIG MISTAKE! The nurse my father had was VERY unprofessional. Spent more time on her cell phone. Thank God I am married to a medic and I've had some nursing training. The aide on the other hand was wonderful and so was the RN that did the initial assestment. Meds, bed and other supplies were delivered in a timely manner and picked up after his passing. I just have did not like the nurse that came out every week (which wasn't every week). She wasn't ever on time or I would have some place else to be so I would just tell her not to come since she didn't come during the time I told her I would be there. I guess it would be ok to use as long as you don't have the nurse my father did.
Pros: Has a strong support system.
Cons: Be careful which nurse you have and voice concerns.
