When the time comes to make a decision for support for a dying loved one, Hospice is the…read morecompassionate choice. At least, that's my opinion, after going through this process a few times over the years. That said, not all Hospice providers are equal, and some are more available or less supportive, depending on the facility and your unique situation. I had the support of Odyssey Hospice for a year and a half for a dying relative, which is probably longer than most people use Hospice for a particular instance. My relative was at his home, then at two different facilities during that time, and they weren't facilities where Odyssey normally visits. They were undaunted by this, and made weekly visits anyway. They were able to work with my relative's current doc, who happened to be a visiting geriatric physician and already had a relationship with Hospice in general. So we went ahead with them. The chaplain, Richard, was the bright spot of the entire experience and went above and beyond his role in providing support. I think I stayed with this Odyssey (aptly named) because of him. I'd give him 5 stars. Unfortunately, we were assigned a nurse that we didn't like and were stuck with for the entire time, and they are the one who directs care and support for the patient. She ended up putting a lot of their job on me, making me run around town picking up medical items and medications during my work day, calling me at incessantly at work, and laying on the guilt nice and thick. I dreaded the sound of her voice. I'd give her one star because you're not allowed to give zero. There was some turnover in the social worker department during that time, and while each MSW was decent, it was hard to start over. As far as I can tell, their job consisted of providing lists of facilities and services and listening to me rant while I became increasingly more frustrated. Unfortunately, I still had to do everything myself while I was trying to work and be a mom. Two stars. One thing I'd advise if you're in the situation to need Hospice support is to ask your doc or facility manager which one they'd recommend, and make sure they can support you in your particular situation. Another piece of advice: don't be afraid to switch to another Hospice provider when it turns out they can't. As I've found out later, it's a fairly simple process.

I was not disappointed! Glyn was assigned to our case and she was awesome. She answered my questions, made appropriate recommendations, and above all was not only compassionate with my husband but also looked out for my wellbeing. She went the extra mile and sat with me as I waited for the mortuary to pick up my husband when he passed. The care was beyond excellent. Many thanks for making an exquisitely difficult situation bearable.

I would not recommend working for this company. They are highly disorganized and fail to pay…read moreemployees as agreed. When questioned about delayed payments, they claim to have payroll issues, which appears to be an excuse for not paying on time or at all. The company does not uphold its own policies, and attempts to communicate or resolve issues are frequently met with avoidance and a lack of accountability. In the home care industry, these types of practices are unfortunately common, and Abundance Home Care takes advantage of these practices. If you are currently employed there, I strongly suggest that you either consider other opportunities or keep detailed documentation of all communications for your protection. Know your rights as an employee, and if you are owed wages that have not been paid, contact the Department of Labor to file a complaint and recover what you are entitled to.

Despite husband's Immobility and frailness, David managed to get him in the wheelchair and delivered him to the home. Great service! But on the return, another younger driver refused to help my husband to get back in bed from the wheelchair so he sat in it for an hour before his nurse arrived. They just 'dumped' him in the living room and also had a hard time getting the wheelchair up one step into the home. I understand the liability issues but their website gives the impression they will help with patients with mobility issues.

He was also recovering from a broken hip and was using a walker. Aria had the safest facilities for my father to move around. The common areas have wood floors and less clutter than other communities. I felt my father was safe. My father enjoyed being able to enjoy the out side on his own with access to their courtyard. Not all communities are set up where your loved ones can enjoy outdoors when they want to. The Facility Manager was very helpful in helping set up my fathers room as well as hanging pictures. Since my father was an engineer, the Facilities Manager took the time to have many great conversations with my father. It is great that Aria is dedicated to Memory Care. They know how to take care of all levels. The separation of cognitive and non cognitive guests is priceless. My father was able to have conversations with other guests with similar challenges. Having a loved one in a home is all ways difficult but when you arrive at Aria you really do not feel you are in a nursing home. It helped me when I was visiting my father. Last but not least the Executive Director Ceri Mackenzie is there for you and your loved ones 24 hours. I have seen this first hand. She was there for helping me manage my fathers needs. Her experience and knowledge comes in handy as anything can happen any time when you are taking care of our elders. The team reacts positively to Ceri's experience and enthusiasm. To sum it up, Aria is a gem in senior community. It offers clean, safe, easy to navigate common area floor plan, spacious individual units and a lovely courtyard to enhance for my father's daily experience. Mostly importantly, the team members are friendly, caring and do not hesitate to come to aide whenever the unexpected need rises. My father actually thrived and showed improvement in matter of weeks under their care. . I have had other family members in Brookdale, Sunrise and, and Emeritus. Aria Memory Care is superior above all other communities. I would recommend Aria to any of my close friends and family.

Our Mom was my Dad's primary caregiver prior to her unexpected death so this transition has been very difficult. I chose Aria because the staff were all very caring friendly, the facility is very clean and modern, and the apartment/room was a nice size and well laid out to match, as closely as possible, my Dad's bedroom at home. My Dad has only been there 2 months but I still feel very confident I have made the right decision with Aria. Ceri Mackenzie is the medical director and she is very patient with the family and also with our Dad. She is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge to make us more comfortable with the transition. The nursing staff and aides have all been very friendly to Dad - especially Kristin, Melissa, Brandon and Jeannette - but they have all been wonderful.
