They lack an overall protocol, an effective communication system (internal and external), and…read moreproblem-solving ability. During intake, you're repeatedly asked the same question, which indicates that teams don't communicate and that their systems aren't integrated effectively. You're assigned a case manager, a therapist, and a PA -- but again, they never appeared to have connected before meeting with you. Conversations were brief, hurried, and felt like you were imposing on them. Tim, the care coordinator, demonstrated a complete lack of patience. When I selected another group for my IOP follow-up (not Curawest), he quickly shuffled us into another room to continue the conversation. He also led a detox group where he appeared unprepared, focused on his own story, and didn't connect it to us or what we were going through. He also checked his watch and answered text messages during the presentation. It was highly unprofessional and ineffective. I spoke to several other attendees who shared the same thoughts. My therapist was Courtney. I spoke with her briefly. She asked many of the same questions I'd already answered in questionnaires leading up to our meeting. They stress the importance of having a support team -- however, you're not allowed to contact them during your stay. I was able to call my mom once while I was there and had to leave a voicemail. Courtney told me my mom had called back, but Courtney never returned the call. There are many staff who care and try to help the best they can. However, it seems like Curawest's procedures and policies do not support their efforts, and they're afraid of getting fired. That's a disservice to the residents and to capable staff members.

I feel like I won the psychologist lottery with Estelle! She provides invaluable support, guidance,…read moreand care. I have been a client of Estelle's since 2015 with some breaks during this time due to life changes. When I first began seeing Estelle, I saw her in person at her office which was comfortable. I no longer live in Colorado, so now Estelle and I meet virtually. I am on a very regular appointment schedule, however, she has always remained flexible when accommodating appointment changes. Estelle has and continues to work with me through a variety of issues (PTSD, queer relationships, grief with relationships ending, marriage, self-improvement, religious changes), and I never felt judged or treated differently. Instead, I've always felt extremely safe with Estelle no matter the topic. I easily can say that my life has been changed for the better by Estelle's presence. She celebrates with me when things are good, and provides light at the end of the tunnel when things are hard. She isn't clinical and dry. Estelle is warm, invested, and appropriately humorous. She truly wants to understand you, your quirks, and find a path towards healing at your pace. Her observations are given kindly and are explained well. I like that Estelle holds me accountable when I need to be held accountable. I plan to stay with Estelle for many years to come! She is my mentor for bettering myself, and a beacon of hope when things are heavy.

From the moment I contacted Optimal Hospice I felt the pressure begin to retreat from my long…read moreperiod of caring for a loved one. Things had gotten to the point where I could no longer feel confident in my own abilities to continue to provide the care needed. I believe my hand was guided from above when I selected, and made contact with, Optimal Hospice. Once engaged, a team of top professionals was dispatched and they just seemed to know instantly what to do. All the while they held the highest regard and sensitivity for me and my family. In no time I saw what I could not have done alone taking place in front of my eyes. This was a true blessing and this wonderful group of individuals kept me informed every step of the way. The outstanding performance exhibited by Optimal Hospice made all the difference in the world, and I could finally get the peace of mind I needed to truly prepare for the send off of my loved one. I cannot express enough my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the enormous contribution Optimal Hospice made to our lives. Do not hesitate to call them, you will not be sorry.
