Most crooked group and organization of people you can find. If you want the foundation of your loved one's hospice services to be initiated through a business deal between the hospice itself and the administration/ownership of the Assisted Living Facility/Board & Care, then you're with the right agency. Buying patients has turned this sacred form of healthcare (Hospice Services) into an absolute SCAM and disgrace. They're ruining the philosophy of what hospice is really about along with all of the others they are directly affiliated with such as Journey Palliative and Hospice, GI Hospice, Westside Hospice Comfort Care, etc... WHO KNOWS ANYMORE at this point?! LIARS! ALL of them! Everyone from hospice ownership to facility administration.
My father was placed at a Board & Care that they "do business with" on Bentley Ave. in West Los Angeles. Our entire experience (which didn't even last very long) was so AWFUL. NOT ONLY WERE WE FORCED AND SWINDLED INTO USING SOME NON-CONTRACTED Hospice agency of Kaiser's, which we were blatantly lied about to...but they AND the facility both threatened to take away the vacancy of his room entirely and basically told us that if we choose to transfer his services to a more appropriate hospice agency (one who is contracted and provides EXCELLENT care) ...then all equipment (inclusive of hospital bed, oxygen, and etc.), medications, supplies would be picked up immediately. With absolutely zero regard for my father's care or the effect it would cause toward his terminal condition.
It was so horrifying ...mostly for my father. Unforgivable and absolutely unforgettable to say the least! read more
