The on call nurse went over to my grandma's and dad's house with her husband that isn't an employee and never had a background check. The next morning he was dead. I found out from friends of mine the stuff that that the nurses were saying about my father after he was removed from the house bybthe funeral home. As the daughter, it hurt my feelings terribly. I'm just sharing my experience with Vitas as I wouldn't want other families to deal with this!! Everyone deserves respect. My father never ever in his life talked bad about anyone. matter of fact, he would give his shirt off his back to anyone that needed it. So with all this being said, please choose wisely when looking for home health care for your loved one!!

Britanny showed us all the things to do, involving the care of our Suzie.

I have a very dear friend in this care and we are most disappointed in the equipment service…read more The nurse, social worker and pastor have all been fantastic and very caring. It's the equipment service that has been lacking. They brought her a hospital bed on a Friday and the first mattress wouldn't blow up. She slept on the bars for three nights because of the faulty mattress. On that Monday they brought another mattress at 6pm that night. We had to move her to replace and make up the bed. That one lasted maybe a week. She is back to sleeping on the bars. We had to add a pillow beneath her bottom and a thick quilt to make it passable to sleep. Again we are waiting for another mattress since last week. This is Tuesday! It seems that no amount of calling to Pensacola helps to get her the equipment. This is Tuesday and she is still waiting for help - a new bed or a better mattress. I am so disappointed that a company/service that advertises being caring and giving comfort for the last days of a person's life is so callous to her comfort. This has not been comfortable for her to spend her days and nights in an inadequate bed.
