A nightmare! My…read moremother was admitted for home hospice over the summer of 2022. She lives in a trailer park on the outskirts of Albuquerque. I implored my mother over a year ago to consider relocating closer to my family after her husband died, but she refused. I live in Virginia, and I am the only surviving family member to advocate for my mother. Visiting Angels was recommended by Compassus Hospice care. She has been "robbed" (reported by providers) numerous times while attendance was present. I left $700 cash and a gift card for $500 (to cover expenses) in a pocketbook stowed in a location that only my mother and an attendant knew about- only to be informed that her pocketbook has gone missing. I have called numerous times when the attendant caregiver answered clearly roused from sleeping- and more than once with an attendant who was slurring their words. Furthermore, I have received multiple calls where she has fallen while attendants where present. My mother's checking account has been depleted and the only management involvement is to harass me about payment. The calls have been numerous and each with the caveat that home care will stop, and she will be discharged from hospice. I have been labeled an "exploitive absent son" and the attendants seem to be gaslighting my mother. They are restricting my calls and I have no way to reach my mother. It's been almost two weeks since I've been able to talk to her - I am recurrently told that she is sleeping, or that she doesn't want to talk. Now that her funds are exhausted, I've been receiving buttery calls from the manager that her care can be extended if other funds are available. But, if not she will be discharged. She's being transferred to a skilled facility and expected to be placed in a nursing home over the holidays. I am travelling over Christmas to be with her. I think that as the early boomers reach an age that home care is more frequently relied upon, that exploitative practices and unscrupulous symbioses have been forming between home hospice agencies and home attendance providers. I think more scrutiny and oversight of these businesses are warranted. But I am just another exploitative son. Working long distance with Visiting Angels has been an ugly experience. I expect a reply from a visiting angels representative below or subsequent posts to reply that we should talk this out or that I am being unreasonable... but I am not. It's been an abuse and a nightmare. My mother's last days are tainted by my experience with these people.

Bayada is unique. The name of the organization is someone's last name and that means something…read more They do things differently here and that's really what makes them stand out. I am an employee of BAYADA and I have to say, I've never worked anywhere like this before. At BAYADA they say that everything comes down to the Bayada Way which is based on 3 core values: Excellence, Reliability, and Compassion. What I've found since working with this organization is they really, truly, stand by it and walk the walk. They provide excellent training for all of their employees, and this training doesn't end when they start working. They provide continuing education for their home health aides, they offer in services and trainings frequently for their office staff as well. Bayada is always working to improve client experience, and regularly reach out to clients and find out what they can do better. One way they do this is by having clinical oversight by at least 2 Registered Nurses on staff overseeing the home health aids. The nurses visit clients once a month, every month. And the first assessment is totally free! Bayada nurses offer medication management and medication refills. No more filling mom and dads pill boxes yourself. Bayada also takes great care of their employees with competitive starting pay and a benefits package even for part time employees. That's why Bayada attracts the best caregivers. If you want the best for your loved ones, Bayada is the way to go.
