As a mid-50's aged man, I am fortunate to have shared a lifelong bond of positivity with my mom…read more She took care of me when I was young and I took care of her in her later years. Between those two bookends of life, we enjoyed and endured much. About four weeks ago, when I learned she was to be discharged from skilled nursing/rehab after trying unsuccessfully to regain the ability to walk after a successful hip revision surgery, I was at a crossroads on what to do given my mom's advancing dementia and notable weight loss. A very caring nurse practitioner making her rounds at the skilled nursing told me about the wonderful care her father in-law received from 1 Heart Hospice. From the very beginning, Cynlie and her 1 Heart Hospice Team (Nadine, Romalyn, Retchie, and several others) were on top of every detail and not only helped me find the perfect (very clean, cheerful, and operated by a teams of very caring people) board and care residence for my mom but also had a new bed, wheelchair, and other important equipment at the residence before my mom arrived. My mom passed away with my wife and me by her side on Father's Day 2024. Between the time my mom moved in till the time she passed (ie, 16 days), I must have communicated with Cynlie and her colleagues 40 or more times. Sometimes it was about my mom's medicine, and other times it was about my need for emotional support or help decision-making. Nonetheless, 1 Heart Hospice was there every single step of the way. In the last 24 hours of my mom's wife, they assigned 24 hour nursing coverage to make sure my mom was comfortable as she transitioned. They did an excellent job and so much respect to my mom and the family. I cannot express adequately my gratitude for 1 Heart Hospice. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend 1 Heart Hospice to anyone in need of hospice care.

This was my first time utilizing hospice care for a loved one. I admittedly had false expectations…read moredriven by common sense as it relates to a very sensitive and delicate situation. The care quality was underwhelming to say the least. Agape poorly educated my family on what to expect during a most gut wrenching time. They set numerous expectations that were not met. Including and not limited to communication, follow up visits, warning signs and resolutions. The stand out interaction was when I sat with a nurse (who was new to the company) to field the many questions & concerns that I had. Through my inquiries, it seemed the Agape finally decided to act. I have zero experience in the medical field but through daily 20 hr shifts with my loved one I gained an immense amount of hands on experience. The Agape representative told me to my face that THEY DO NOT EXPECT US TO BE NURSES, just to be there to show love and care to my loved one. This was insulting and patronizing! Agape equipped us with a variety of medicines, dressings, equipment (including oxygen, a nebulizer, and suction device) though with no real direction on when & what to look for to use this mobile triage station. Mind you, I was not expected to be a nurse. The hypocrisy was palpable. I need to mention that we were never cautioned about bed sores. No mention of what they are, how they develop, what to look for and also, what to do about them. This was frustrating and infuriating. My belief is that people who are designated as 'end of life' should be treated, handled and loved the exact same way as when they enter this world. With such delicate care, close professional monitoring and a soft touch. Babies are not delivered in a hospital and set aside with instructions to the family to occasionally have a look to tell them that you love them. Agape missed the mark repeatedly and I can honestly say that I now have extensive experience with Hospice care, or lack there of. I will continue to share my story and educate those around me. Most of us will experience Hospice for a loved one and maybe ourselves. I will ensure to record detailed instructions in my own Advanced Health Care Directive along with additional personal wishes in my Will. This is to make it easier on my surviving loved ones who may be tasked with my care. This is responsible thing to do, for all parties. This is absolutely necessary because of companies like Agape Hospice and their lack of compassion, professionalism, accountability, execution and customer service. DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT HOSPICE. VET THE COMPANY. SEEK OUT REVIEWS. EDUCATE YOURSELF ON YOUR LOVED ONES SPECIFIC DISEASE OR CONDITION AND HOW TO CARE FOR AND INTERACT WITH THEM. YOU CANNOT COUNT & RELY ON AGAPE OR POTENTIALLY OTHER COMPANIES TO ADEQUATELY PREPARE YOU. ONCE YOU'RE IN IT, IT MAY BE TOO LATE. YOU WILL FEEL LOST AND HELPLESS, SO BE PROACTIVE.

I highly recommend the Care to Stay Home team to anyone seeking quality home care services.

I have nothing but praise for this organization! About 9am…read moreon a Monday, our doctor informed us that we had to start my father-in-law (or Dad, as we called him) on hospice care. I had no idea who to use for this, so our doctor made the call for us. About an hour or so later, I received a call from Charmayne, and about an hour later, she was meeting with me to get everything all set up. Now, Charmayne was a blessing to us.. as was everyone from Evergreen Hospice. Charmayne was very professional in handling all of the paperwork, easing our fears, joking with us at the right times to help relieve some stress and anxiety that we had stored up. I can not think of a better person to have representing a hospice than Charmayne. She made you feel secure in everything that was happening.. as well as what was going to happen down the road. By 2pm the same day, medical supplies were arriving at our home for Dad's needs: the hospital bed, a walker, oxygen tanks, and more. Shortly after that, Regina (the nurse) showed up. Regina was just what we needed. Dad is Korean with very little English comprehension. Regina is Korean and she was able to fully communicate with Dad (and Mom) everything that she was going to do for him (and Mom) to make everything as comfortable as possible for the both of them. Regina is a very sweet lady who really knows her stuff. She's great dealing with patients and has great patience dealing with the family's questions and concerns. Regina stayed with us for about two hours to make sure everything was taken care of (vitals, information for everyone, prescriptions ordered.. everything!). Around 8pm, Dennis arrived to check on Dad. Dennis was a sweetheart. Very kind and compassionate and he was wonderful with Dad and the family. Regina visited again on Tuesday as did Dennis. At no time did I feel that they were rushing through the visit to get to another patient. As far as I'm concerned, they treated Dad as if he was the most important person to them, as he was to us. Wednesday came... and we knew Dad's time was running out. regina was there for a few hours, talking with Dad.. talking with the family... doing everything she could to make everyone feel better. Later that night, Dennis was there for dad's final hour. Both Dennis and Regina stayed in contact with the doctor overseeing Dad's care, and this was very important towards the end of Dad's life. After Dad passed, Dennis didn't just pack-up his bag and say "See ya!" He stayed to talk with the family, did the final paperwork, contacted the mortuary (that we had already designated), prepped Dad's body for them, spent more time talking with the family.. and he didn't leave until almost 90 minutes after Dad's passing. During Dad's care, Evergreen made sure that all of Dad's needs were being met: we had great nurses, immediate delivery of medical equipment and prescriptions, they arranged for a representative from Social Services to visit to see what they could do to help. They were there at the beginning and they were there at the end. I received a few follow-up calls from everyone that I encountered from Evergreen. All of them were very sweet and compassionate. At no time (still almost a month later) have I received any calls from them (or any affiliated organization) to donate to a church, donate to them.. or received any other kind of intrusive or insensitive requestor comment from them. Evergreen is a Five Star business that treats your family like it's their family. And Charmayne... Thank You for EVERYTHING you did for us!

Thank you so much, and I highly recommend Evergreen to all families who need help for their loved ones with terminal illnesses.

I needed home PT after a hip replacement and was referred to Los Robles in Gardena. I called them…read morealmost a week in advance and was told they could set up a date in advance but the exact time would be determined the day before and I would be contacted with a phone call. I was not contacted so the next day I called. I was assured I was on their schedule for that day but again they couldn't give me an exact time. I thought this was very strange and normally I would have considered this as unacceptable but I then again, I wasn't going anywhere and had plenty of time. No call, no show again! The following day I called again and was again assured I was on the schedule for that day and would be later contacted with an exact time. Later that day I did receive a call from the PT but I decided that I didn't want anything to do with an organization and individual this unprofessional so I declined. I later was contacted by what I believe was their corporate office wanting me to provide feedback on the therapy I received the prior week. Unbelievable!! With all the choices available, I would strongly advise you to stay away from these guys.
