From the beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure my mom's transition into residency was as smooth and stress-free as possible-both personally and financially. He secured her placement as quickly as we needed and made an overwhelming process feel manageable. His compassion and dedication were clear in every interaction and still remain so. What stood out the most was his responsiveness. He returned every phone call promptly, answered questions with patience and clarity, and made sure I felt informed and supported. His professionalism and genuine care made a world of difference for my mom and my family. I highly recommend him and Center For Hope to any family navigating this challenging journey.

We waited four long, agonizing days after a hospice consult was placed for someone to even show up. Day after day, no call, no explanation, no nurse, just silence, while our family member suffered. It took repeated calls from doctors, hospital staff, and family members before anyone finally came. When the nurse did arrive, she was rude, unprofessional, and completely unprepared. Instead of focusing on the critically ill patient in front of her, she was attempting to verify insurance benefits at the bedside, something that should have been handled long before arriving. We waited four days, and you're telling me that verification couldn't have been completed in that time? To make matters worse, she repeatedly emphasized that they are "not affiliated" with the hospital, despite the similar name, which is incredibly misleading to families during an already overwhelming time. Let this serve as a warning: just because the hospice shares a similar name with the hospital does NOT mean they are connected or coordinated. There is absolutely no advantage to choosing this company based on name alone. If you are in the hospital and a hospice consult is suggested, you have the right to choose another provider. Please advocate for your loved one and request a different hospice group. If you are looking for compassion, professionalism, preparedness, and basic respect during one of life's hardest moments -- DO NOT use this company. Families deserve better.

I'd like to add a note of thanks to Randi H., who works out of the Edison, NJ location and who was…read moreone of the caregivers for my father, Robert Porlick, before he passed. The entire family loves Randi. Confident, calm, soothing, and compassionate; mindful and solicitous of our opposing needs to assist in our father's care and to rest; attentive and quickly responsive to his mood; skilled in the care of an invalid and sharing in her knowledge so that we could be more effective caregivers in her absence... she was the epitome of hospice care professionalism. I hope that on my deathbed I have a nurse half as good as Randi. I'm a volunteer ski patroller in the Midwest; over the past fifteen years I've been privileged to work closely with patrollers who have many decades of experience in emergency care, some of whom are also nurses and doctors themselves. Randi is now my standard for how to interact with my patients. Whatever you're paying her, it isn't nearly enough.

I waited a month after my mother's passing to write this review so I could have some distance and…read moreperspective from the events. I contracted with Alvita to care for my mother during the last two months of her life after she was injured in a fall. I paid for 24 hour home care seven days a week. Other than Fabienne, I found the caregivers sorely lacking in the most basic of qualities such as companionship and emotional support. Also, other than Fabienne, the one on one care for which they were hired (toileting, hygiene assistance, dressing, grooming, feeding, etc) was mostly delegated by them to the staff at the assisted living facility where my mother resided, which negated the whole point of hiring them in the first place. Chronic lateness was also the norm. Most arrived 10-20 minutes late for the start of the night shift The night shift crew was especially problematic. In addition to generally not performing the basic tasks for which they were hired ("it's not my job" was the common refrain, even though it literally was their job), they often did not even stay in the same room as my mother who was a fall risk. Some slept on the sofa in the living room during the night shift, some spent the night shift doing schoolwork in a separate room, and some spent hours of the night shift on their phone in the hallway outside of the apartment. The complaints became so numerous from the staff at the assisted living facility and from the hospice nurses that I eventually had to change agencies for the night shift. Three of the low points during the Alvita night shift require special mention. (1) There was the night that my mother sat in her own feces for the entirety of the night. When Hospice arrived in the morning, the waste was dry and hard and had been there all night, despite a 12 hour Alvita shift. (2) Many nights, my mother was put to bed at 7 PM for convenience sake without any social interaction or kindness on the part of the aide. (3) My mother suffered a skin tear on her arm the night after I complained about the aides sleeping on the job. I was told that she injured herself, but there are no witnesses other than the Alvita aide involved. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Fabienne. She was the primary Alvita daytime aide for my mother. Fabienne went above and beyond the call of duty. She exuded kindness and compassion. She took the utmost care of my mother and treated her with dignity and respect. When Fabienne was on the job, the staff at the assisted living facility and the hospice staff took a break because everyone knew that she had everything under control. This is the level of care advertised by Alvita and the level of care that I paid for, but only Fabienne met the mark. Not only did she meet expectations, but she blew everyone away with her level of care.
