Check the rotation schedule before you visit!…read more While I appreciate that they're trying to keep things fresh, the shopping blocks are limited to just 1.5 hours, and everyone has to check out and leave at the end of each block. During the 45-minute break between rotations, new items are brought out, but if you're planning to be there all day, it's pretty frustrating to have to leave for such a long period. Personally, I preferred the old schedule where we didn't have to step out for such an extended break. It felt more efficient and enjoyable, especially for those who like to take their time browsing. In my opinion, the new system feels like a waste of time, and I hope they consider going back to the previous setup. Additionally, I was disappointed to find that there are no longer any household items or shoes available -- it's all clothes now. The selection is pretty bad, and I found myself leaving empty-handed. It's a shame because the variety used to be one of the best parts of shopping there. Overall, the experience has really gone downhill, and I hope they reconsider both the new schedule and their stock offerings. It's still a place to find bargains if you're patient, but the changes have made it much less enjoyable than it used to be.

That's not what it's about. Show more love and compassion that you state that you have for animals change your ways and if the owner is the one that's discriminating towards me and other people shame on you and if not? then you contact me back, and let's see if you can have me Foster? because, as they say, you snooze and lose out on an amazing person who can help you out.

I visited the Goodwill location to make a donation and the experience was extremely disappointing…read more The entire floor of the donation area was filled and piling up with unprocessed donations items. There is no clear signage, direction, or order on where to place items. It looked more like a dumping ground than a donation center. What was most upsetting was that there was only one person working to receive, sort, and organize a massive volume of donations completely alone. I truly felt bad for them and no one should be expected to handle that kind of workload solo. Since the other donation sites in the area have closed, this location is taking in far more than it can handle and it is clearly not equipped to handle the capacity. Goodwill needs to assign multiple staff members to sort donations as they come in and not let things pile up. It overwhelms one person and is unfair to both donors and employees. I support Goodwill's mission in providing jobs and employment training, but the recent layoffs and closures by management really undermines the experience and discourages people from donating in the future. I hope they step up and provide the resources this location clearly needs or reopen donation sites.

If your dying loved one is, or is likely to be, in pain, DO NOT use Mission Hospice's services…read more Prior to my family's experience with Mission Hospice, I'd always understood that the main benefit of entering hospice was that the patient receives, above all else, palliative care. That is, since there is no longer any hope of recovery, the patient is made as comfortable as possible in his or her final days or weeks. I guess one thing I am grateful for re: our experience is that I learned that "hospice" does NOT equal "pain relief," so at least I can warn others. My father was dying of a cancer which is known to be especially painful. He'd been admitted to Mills Peninsula hospital a few weeks earlier, and while his oncologists were initially optimistic he might recover, it quickly became apparent he would not. So, we were asked if we wanted to consider hospice services. My siblings and I, when we met with the official liaison for Mission, as well as two Mission volunteers, stated several times that all we cared about was that our dad would suffer as little pain as possible in his final days. The volunteers were nice, but the liaison was a bit cold, which should perhaps have been a warning. Still, "hospice" sounded like a blessing, and when we were told that Mission is one of the very few not-for-profit hospices around, well, that sounded even better. THANK GOD we decided to keep our dad in Mills Peninsula as opposed to having him transferred to Mission's hospice home, which I believe is in Redwood City. To make a long story short, a physician whom I'll refer to as "Dr. S" of Mission Hospice did not want to increase our father's dose of morphine--when he had less than a week to live. (All of his doctors and nurses at Mills by that point were in agreement that the end was within days.) We could not get a hold of anyone else at Mission to ask why Dr. S would not increase his pain meds. Finally, after more than a day of pleading with the nurses and doctors at Mills Peninsula (who were excellent and very compassionate), my brother managed to get a physician at Mills to override Dr. S's orders. I do not recall all of the ins and outs involved, but it was a nightmare, especially, obviously, for our poor dad who was in excruciating pain. I might add that my brother later shared with me that the Mills physician who finally overrode Dr. S's orders and increased my father's morphine dose told him, "I have to say, I'm very surprised at how low this dose is for someone in your father's condition." Here's the clincher, though: The day before our dad died, my brother and I were talking with a nurse at Mills who mentioned that she had previously worked for Mission Hospice. She was a nurse we started talking to in the corridor, not a nurse who was assigned to our dad's care, so we had never interacted with her previously, and she had no idea our dad was in hospice until we mentioned it. When my brother started to talk about the ordeal to get our father's dose of morphine increased, the nurse suddenly became very quiet. Then she said, "Oh, that must be Dr. S....she, uh, doesn't believe in a lot of pain meds." I can only describe the look on her face, and her tone, as she said this, as "uncomfortable." A HOSPICE PHYSICIAN "doesn't believe in a lot of pain meds"?! I thought that was the entire point of hospice--to make a dying person as comfortable as possible, whether spiritually, emotionally, and yes, PHYSICALLY. Apparently not. Also the day before our dad died, we were visited by a Mission volunteer who asked if we'd like her to pray with us. Our mom is very religious, so I appreciated that and felt it might comfort her. The volunteer was of a different faith than our family, but she read from a book of traditional prayers of our religion, and she did it very reverently. That was very nice. The problem was that when she'd finished praying, and said some kind words, she wouldn't leave my dad's hospital room. This was despite the fact that I kept saying things like, "Thank you so much for the prayers. That was very kind, but we have other family coming soon to say goodbye," etc. She would just nod and say, "Okay"... and sit there, staring at my father. I'm not sure how I could have given any more obvious hints; I was also making comments like, "It's so kind of you to volunteer--I'm sure you must have other people you need to check in on now." She would say, "No, I don't." Another of my siblings was starting to get VERY upset that this woman would not take the hint (hints) and was even starting to raise his voice, saying things like, "It's kind of crowded in here--I hope there'll be someplace for A and B to sit when they get here." The volunteer still just sat there. I finally got up and left our dad's hospital room, in tears. I don't know if my other sibling finally said something to the volunteer or not, but she finally left shortly after that. You, and your loved one, don't need this extra pain.

It was rough introducing them but Tina and Eesha were so helpful and were there for us for the entire process during our trial adoption.

No answer. I googled Ace for a phone number and called. The woman who answered was very rude and unprofessional. She asked me how I got this number. I told her I found it on the Internet.
