Avoid Gentiva. My mother was placed in their care at around 4 pm. We answered all questions and we were informed on how they will treat my mom like family. Well trust me, you don't want to be part of their family.
-First nurse that was our case manager finished her paper work but Magically at 5pm she was no longer on duty. Had to wait for the on call nurse. We all, including the nurse sat and waited for the on call nurse to arrive.
-first nurse didn't order any meds. Totally forgot. She was too busy looking at her watch, leaning against the wall waiting for the on call nurse.
-8pm-4am my mom was in pain and we were unable to get a hold of anyone to get morphine ordered. She even forgot to add mom to the hospice doctor's list so we had no doctor available for mom. No help!
- They asked if we would allow them a second chance and they sent a new nurse. She Also forgot to order pain meds and never added my mom to the hospice doctors list. We fired them and hired Angel Care. Mom had pain meds within the hour. Don't trust Gentiva to keep your love one comfortable. read more
