They charged us for the day because they said we didn't cancel the caregiver but they knew he was in hospital. They also charged us for an amount of hours that we have never used for my dad for an any given day. Below is the nice email I sent to owner, Ryan Murray and after multiple calls and emails, I still have not received a call back nor email and it has been several months. So disappointed in the level of professionalism . It's not even about the money at this point, it is the lack of care and respect as I have never experienced an owner or organization not communicating with their customers. I am in the customer service business myself and I would never treat my customers like this even if I felt they were wrong. ------------------------------------------------ Dear Ryan- I'm reaching out because I'm genuinely concerned about how long it has taken to hear back from you. This isn't the level of communication I expect, especially as a customer. You also know that we have never had anyone here for seven hours straight. I can understand being charged for our usual three to four hours, but seven hours has never happened and doesn't feel reasonable. I want to be fair, and I'm sorry this situation has become so frustrating, but communication is a basic expectation. Responding to calls and messages is the first step in good customer service. I work in this field myself, and I would never leave a customer without a response, regardless of the situation. It's simply not professional, and it feels like you're not acknowledging how concerning this is from our side. ---------------------------------------------- Again, Ryan Murray, never responded to the above email. Ryan, you have to do better than this going forward if you want to have a business in the future. This market is too competitive to not act kind and professional.

I have been using the same Senior Helpers now for the last 14 months. As I am in a wheelchair…read morealmost full time, I have needed additional help in my home just to give my wonderful husband a break from being a full time caregiver. I use the helper 2 times a week for 4 hours each time. This lovely person, Natacia, has been an additional light in my day. We have so many similarities in our personalities, that I couldn't believe my good fortune to welcome her into my life twice a week. She has been such a positive influence, she has been able to help get me to doctors appointments, to swim at my local pool for exercise, assists me with bathing, grocery shopping, cooking, and has meticulously changed the linens on my bed every week. I can't say enough about the caliber of the staff at Senior Helpers. When my husband was too ill to care for me, Senior Helpers was easily available to step in for a few days to help out, until he was better. We are happily living independently in our apartment. We travel (cancel when we need to) and occasionally adjust our schedule with them and they always accommodate. We feel the additional help is well worth the expense so we both get what we need.

What I've come to understand about hospice orgs is that they seem to attract nurses who may be…read moreburned out from other jobs. This results in transactional care, checking off boxes to comply with Medicare but a lack of genuine compassion for the patient. (hospice enrollment recommendations below) Hospice affords more normal hours than working at a hospital. However, the trade off is probably that the nurses may have to drive 100 miles a day all over the county to serve patients. It's a crap shoot when it comes to the nurse case manager (weekly nurse) you get based on when you enroll in hospice care. And it's a crap shoot for the nurses too, who gets assigned to them. (see #4 below) Transitions was recommended to me by someone I trusted. I didn't know what I didn't know but my initial instinct during the first transaction with the intake nurse seemed off to me. She didn't listen, was not paying attention to what I said (about my Mom's care needs) and not educating us on how we should be looking at the whole hospice experience, especially medication management. We lasted a month and a half before I went to another company. The whole point of hospice is having continuity of care. The nurse case manager kept scheduling other nurses to come in her place which consequently caused us to have to orient a new nurse almost every week. Recommendations for Hospice Enrollment and Ongoing Management 1) Trust your instincts if your first interactions with the hospice org aren't stellar. Unless your family member is very close to death you probably have time to interview another company. 2) How medication is administration is explained and distributed (by mail or pharmacy pick up) is critical. 3) Understand that the first several intake people who call or visit may not be the regular providers you will be seeing. They have to check boxes for Medicare so they may only be marginally helpful. 4) The Clinical Manager who manages schedules and nurse performance is THE most critical role in the process. This person MUST be a great problem-solver, compassionate, caring, understanding and a good listener. Spend time up front describing your loved one's personality, likes and dislikes to hopefully get the best match possible nurse case manager (weekly nurse). 5) Once you get through the initial process, if you don't like the hospice care you're getting it's fairly easy to transition to another company (assuming you have POA for your loved one). 6) Make sure your POA and Healthcare POA are updated. If you had documents drafted years ago, they may not be specific enough for today's requirements. 7) If you have a life alert system you can give the hospice company number to the life alert system company so 9-1-1 won't get called in an emergency. 8) LPN's have more authority with medications than RN's but Medicare requires RN's to visit at least once every other week. 9) Hospice nurses understand that the closer to the end of life someone is, the less interested in eating they will be. Also, people at the end of life will sleep more. So keep track of eating and sleeping because the nurses will be most interested in that in addition to pain management. 10) Document changes in health in advance of nurse visits even if it's jotting small notes on a calendar because over time all the days blend together.
