OC Hospice cared for my grandfather in the last week of his life and provided excellent care. They were attentive, efficient, kind and compassionate. We were fortunate in that he passed away quickly and without suffering, and OC Hospice helped our family get through that last week when he needed more help than we were able to provide. They found a priest on very short notice when requested and the social worker, Stephanie, was immensely helpful and supportive even after he passed away. I would choose them again if another family member were to need hospice, they truly are the best. read more

I don't know what I would have done without OC Hospice. The care my father received early this year was so appreciated. The compassion, insight, dignity and care my father received was what I had hoped for. I will always hold OC Hospice close to my heart. I am so thankful for everything they did for him and for me. read more

I don't know how we could have gotten through the last few days of my Mom's life without the help of OC Hospice. The entire staff, including the 24-hour rotation of nurses, was so professional, so warm and so supportive, I really can't imagine what my siblings and I would have done without them. Even in the last moments before she passed, the attending nurse's presence was a huge comfort. It's difficult to recommend this kind of service on yelp, particularly because of the sensitive and difficult nature of the event, but I can, without hesitation recommend OC Hospice to anyone in need. read more

OC Hospice were called in for end-of-life care for my husband (until he passed in January 3, 2019). My husband, Mark wished to die in his own home. There is no way we could have handled this without OC Hospice walking with us every step of the way. My son Will, and I would like to thank OC Hospice for the compassionate and expert care provided Mark over the last four months. We cannot convey enough the depth of our gratitude and how wonderful the nurses (Christy, Nicole & Marisa), social worker (Andrea) and spiritual guidance (Mark) were to us during this extremely difficult time. This is a magnificent team of caring individuals. I would add to my medical directive that OC Hospice be brought in for my end-of-life care. God bless each of these precious angels. read more

We have used this Hospice company twice now. The pretenses of the need of their services used are both very sad, but both instances they shined bright as a beacon of comfort and compassion. This company was used 2 years ago for the end life comfort of my wifes grandmother. They were able to maoe her at peace and comfortable in her own home before being called back to her maker. Because of the positive experiences my wife had we choose them for recent services. My father in law who become terminally ill lived with us these past few years. He ended up in the hospital and upon learning he only had a short time left on this earth we made a mad dash to get him home to be with his family. OC Hospice handled everything very promptly and were abpe to get him home and comfortable within a matter if hours upon contacting them. The staff and nurses we encountered were nothing short of caring, compassionate, & heartwarmingly sympathetic to us and our family. They answered any and all concerns our family we had. My father in law passed peacefully a few days later and OC Hospice was there immediately upon notification offering condolences and sympathy. We dealt with a few other Hospice companies and NONE offered the genuine care, respect, and service as OC Hospice. I would go with no one else, let their 5 stars speak for their service. Thank you so very much OC Hospice for being there through a difficult time. read more

We contacted OC Hospice when my mom, who was diagnosed with PSP, saw her symptoms intensify. From my very first phone conversation with Alicia, my concern about looking into hospice prematurely was put at ease. We were made to feel welcome and free to ask any questions about the process and express our concerns about Mom's condition. Jasper, who conducted the in-person assessment of her case for starting hospice, exemplified the company's approach--patient, calm, clear in explanation, and eager to do whatever best serves the patient's needs. It was a total relief, and it meant so much to my family after months of Mom being bounced around doctors' offices seeking amelioration for an expanding list of symptoms, or just being told, "Sorry, this is just what happens with this disease." The care of LVN Philomena and RN's Shelly, Mark, and Nicole always prioritized Mom's comfort and made us all feel assured that someone competent and engaged was listening and remaining attentive to Mom's needs until the end. I'm so proud of my mom. She was/is an amazing person. Our whole family couldn't be happier with the quality of care provided by OC Hospice. They were awesome. read more

We needed hospice care for my uncle who is 92 and lives in Orange County. OC Hospice came out immediately and began care for my uncle, all covered under Medicare. Their employees are compassionate and professional. Very responsive to the caretaker's needs and do an excellent job in caring for the patient. We had to transfer my uncle to Riverside County, which OC Hospice does not cover (now using GHC Hospice, also excellent), and they worked with the new hospice team in getting information over so my uncle had continuous care. (Thank you OC Hospice.) read more

Once we made the heartbreaking decision of hospice care for our mom, a doctor recommended OC Hospice. After speaking with the liaison, we agreed. They helped us get mom home within hours. Unfortunately, we only had her for 24 hours at home, but the nurses were wonderful. They did what needed to be done without feeling intrusive. We were able to hold mom throughout the entire time. OC Hospice helped me to follow mom's wishes.... Letting her go, without pain and with her dignity intact, at home in her bedroom. We did have a few problems with one nurse, but when I called the director with my concerns, she was very sympathetic and responsive. I would recommend OC Hospice to anyone that needs to make this heartbreaking decision. read more

When the Dr. informed me that my Mom was in need of Hospice care, I was hit by several emotions and questions all at once. Questions like What do I do next, how do I pay for this, how do I know my Mom is getting everything she's entitled to with the very confusing Medicare system? It was a very helpless feeling to say the least. A friend of mine referred me to Brian Dingman with OC Hospice and said give him a call. I was reluctant but knew it was a call I needed to make. I didn't even know what questions to ask Brian! I made the call (after work hours) and Brian answered immediately. Somehow he was able to interpret what I was trying to say even though I'm sure I made no sense. I didn't know what to ask or even how to begin a simple conversation. He quickly and patiently put me at ease, educated me on the many options that were available, and offered to take the time to speak with and educate my family members as well. Everyone was in full agreement that this was now a simple decision and we hired Brian immediately. He immediately jumped into action and did the heavy lifting for us and the worry's vanished leaving us time to focus on our Mother. 5 Stars really isn't high enough..if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, this is the only call you need to make and Brian and his team removed such a heavy burden and for that I am truly grateful. It's rare when I take the time to do reviews but this may help others in a similar situation know there's someone they can turn to without spending even one dime out of your pocket. read more

Initially, we used another well known hospice in Orange County for Mom but switched to OC Hospice. We feel the comprehensive care provided by them is superior. Less "corporate" and more service with a heart is the best way I can describe it without any corners being cut and we actually get more support and services for Mom. She is very well cared for by them. Also, our caregiver for Mom works well with them. It's truly a team approach. read more

OC Hospice goes above and beyond for all their patients. Everyone is very down to earth, caring, generous, sincere, compassionate, and attentive. They're family and will definitely make sure to treat your family or friends like family too! read more

My mother has been under the care of hospice for several years now and she has had the best care imaginable with OC Hospice. The staff is not only competent, well-trained and punctual but they really, really care. They monitor my mom's health and work with me and our care-giver to provide superior service. They go that extra mile and Sprinkle In a little love on top. I want to give a special shout out to our special team: Adi, Rica, Mayra, Erica, Monica, Nathan and Janet. You guys are AWESOME!! Thanks a million!! read more

What a wonderful group of helping caring individuals. Not only did they provide excellent nursing care they made a very difficult time manageable for both my husband and myself. The staff was there whenever we needed some help and included moving furniture and cleaning up spilled food and other jobs that I am sure were not really part of their job description and on top of it all they did it in a caring loving manner. read more

OC Hospice is wonderful in countless ways! The nurses are attentive to each patient and above all they care deeply. The nurses also do the absolute most and always go the extra mile for both the patient and their loved ones. In a time of darkness, OC Hospice brings light and ease to every patient and family. Given their long history of outstanding care, highly recommend OC Hospice! read more

Mid July I found out my mother had a brain tumor. As she was about to leave the hospital, an administrator helped me get in touch with a hospice service he recommended. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew he had given me one that I was not happy with! Then workers from my mom's retirement home then told me about OC Hospice, and I immediately knew that I would change over to them. The change was easy with the help of OC Hospice. The care I received for my mother was wonderful. Her nurses Macy and Christy were very responsive to Mom's needs. Whenever I needed to contact them, they responded in a timely manner. I did need to hire a caregiver for my mother for a few weeks because of her condition, but OC Hospice knew exactly when it was their time to send the caregiver home, and stay with her 24/7 and give her the needed medication to keep her comfortable and pain free. The nurses had a wonderful rapport with my mother, taking the time to make a real personal connection from Day 1 of their services. Having OC Hospice was a necessary support system, always informing me of mom's status. I am very grateful for their services. They have heart!!!! read more

Great company with compassionate volunteers and amazing staff. Highly recommend!

OC Hospice cared for my mother-in-law during the last few months of her life. Each and every member of the OC Hospice team was warm, compassionate, attentive, and caring toward my mother-in-law. I applaud these wonderful people for their unending patience, and the respect they gave my mother-in-law. And they helped the family tremendously as well. I don't know how we could have dealt with the inevitable end-of-life issues without them. And another thing that we really appreciate is that it was easy to communicate with each of the team members. And that was quite important to me and my husband. We would like to thank the entire team at OC Hospice for a job well done! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I just encourage all to contact them sooner, rather than later. It will make a difference. For you, and for your loved one. read more

They cared for my dad in his home before he passed away. Very responsive when we called with any issue any time during the week.

Words alone can't fully convey my deep and profound gratitude to the angels on earth at OC Hospice. Their compassion and care of my dying mother, particularly in her final hours, make me weep. I am forever grateful to them and for the peace and comfort they brought to our grieving family. read more

I can't rave enough about the wonderful caring experience we had with this company. My 93 year old mom was staying with me prior to moving into a care facility in Utah. When she moved in we really had nothing for her care or any idea where to start. OC Hospice was at my door the first day with supplies, love, comfort, and guidance. We had one emergency and help was there within 20 minutes! I love these caregivers!! I will forever be indebted to them. read more

We tried this hospice because it had a high review but couldn't be more disappointed. They have one great staff member by the name of Shellie but all the others are rude, not clear English or disinterested. They threatened to quit when we questioned giving my mother a very harsh psychopharmaceutical and they didn't offer her any options like anti-dementia drugs. I told them that I wanted to speak to the doctor first and they said that they no longer had one that made house calls. So I asked what would happen in case of an emergency and they would still not furnish us with the contact information for the dispensing physician. It was very upsetting that they wouldn't have that Dr. see the patient before prescribing something that strong and that they didn't want to spend the money to pay a doctor to see the patient when changing drugs. They charge about $185 a day and they stay for less than 15 minutes. ? dare not ask questions or they drop you. Remember to advocate for yourself and your love ones and always research, question drugs and treatments:) read more

OC Hospice made my mom's last year of life so much better than it had been before they stepped in. From our first visit with Sylvia, to Mom's last week with 24 hour nursing care in my home, and for all the weeks between when she had regular visits 2-3 times a week from Ngan, visits from nurse practitioners Adie and Marissa, social workers, Hila and others, and quick responses when we had scares and issues between visits on weekends, holidays, late nights - whenever needed they showed up. I can't express how grateful I am for these wonderful folks - they have servant hearts, incredible knowledge and skills, and truly care about their patients and love them. Mom's dear nurse Ngan even showed up at Mom's memorial service - she is a lovely, kind soul, as are all of the OC Hospice team that we worked with. I highly recommend hospice, and there are many choices out there. I hope you will consider OC Hospice. The will take good care of your loved one in their last days. read more

We have to wholeheartedly agree with all the positive review here about OC Hospice. They hire some amazingly caring people. We were dealing with the hospice that St. Joseph's hospital b/c my Dad started out with an oncologist from there. The nurse from St. Joseph's was so uncaring and superficial. She seemed repulsed to touch my dying father with her manicured nails. After that, I knew we needed to get compassionate people who would be kind to my Dad and treat him as human being and not as a man who was waiting to die. OC Hospice quickly sent Solia over and she transferred all the paper work and sent an angel of a nurse named Anna, who spoke my parents' language. She was so kind and caring. Our only regret with OC Hospice is that we didn't change sooner b/c our time with them and my father was much too short. Additionally, they have continued to call for the past year to follow up to see how we are doing and provide support b/c they understand that after a love one passes, it's not the end. The grieving process continues long after. read more
