From the very beginning, the nurses and care team demonstrated an extraordinary level of kindness, professionalism, and respect.

Every interaction reflected genuine care and a commitment to making her final days as peaceful as possible. The staff was attentive, responsive, and highly skilled, always taking the time to address our questions and concerns. Their presence brought us reassurance and comfort when we needed it most. We cannot thank Hope Hospice enough for the exceptional care they provided. We wholeheartedly and confidently recommend their services to anyone seeking compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care for a loved one.

They were caring and compassionate and spent the necessary time needed to answer any questions or to just put my uncles mind at ease that she was being looked after. Colby was exceptional at gently talking with him and explaining her decline. Fast forwarding to this past week, my uncle who started off 2026, in the hospital with some unexpected issues, declined quickly. After 12 days he came home on hospice and our logical choice was to use With Grace once again. We were blessed by the staff, but Colby in particular. She checked in on him daily and would gently talk with him and play calm music for him during her visits. When he became non-responsive she would continue to check in on him to monitor each stage and to make sure that he was comfortable. I appreciated her communication with me, our caregiver, and her amazing and calm approach. Each step of the process and engagement with their staff with both my aunt and my uncle, were exceptional.

After being forced to sign in a relative into this "hospice" one of their nurses told me the truth and said they are "still learning about how to treat patients" with respiratory distress. She was not kidding. This hospice was useless,incompetent and was very sadistic to my relative (the patient had never smoked in their life, was stable until the last 1 year of their life when they went on constant supplemental oxygen ) My relative died a horrible death , and suffered severely for the last 3 hours of their life , literally suffocating with this "hospice " care in el camino hospital. One of the hospice student nurses decided to reduce the oxygen flow for the relative, who was kept comfortable with the original level. It was the hospice doctors bad decision to lower the oxygen flow and then give morphine/valium/etc. After that, for over 3 hours, the patient suffocated and suffered great discomfort to death. They were literally Suffocating, And the breath sounds were not the usual end of life death rattle and not cheyne stokes breathing. (patient went into the hospice after getting stabilized by the ER department, then transferred to 3rd floor TCU. The hospitalists wanted the hospital room for someone else - it's a business, after all. So we were pressured into signing up our relative into this horrific hospice. El camino hospital hospitalists and Sutter /hospice of the valley knew we were in a vulnerable situation. ) In the last 3 hours of their life, my relative suffered with loud labored breathing, with a look of terror on their face. Never in the course of their illness did they have so much suffering, until the incompetent hospice of the valley nurses and doctors (in training) did their mischief with the patient. The relative had a pained desperate expression , looked like they were drowning, and we family members only stood by helplessly and kept begging the nurses for pain medication for the patient, which they did eventually. Maybe they were waiting for the approval of the hospice doctor. Family members foolishly trusted this hospice to help make the dying process a little easier. I'm very surprised the hospice nurses and doctors don't know much about treating /comforting patients with end stage lung cancer , COPD, emphysema, interstitial lung diseases etc. Because all of those usually, not always, end with respiratory distress for the patient. Kevorkian would have been more effective and sympathetic. The clergy man was the only competent and compassionate person we encountered. Maybe this hospice is only for dementia patients. Unfortunately, I've sadly seen two other relatives die in 2 different hospices (not "hospice" of the valley, and they suffered too , but the nurses and doctors were a little more knowledgeable and helpful. hospice of the valley is the worst. I understand the need for hospice, but do your research on which hospices are best for you or your loved one's condition/disease/illness. Veterinarians are more knowledgeable and compassionate to animals that need euthanasia. Even convicts on death row have quicker less unpleasant deaths , compared to what my relative experienced with this novice hospice.

Redwood Hospice is a trusted partner whenever I refer patients and families for hospice services. Their team is responsive, professional, and truly patient-centered. One of the most impressive aspects of their service is their ability to have their hospice physician come out the same day to evaluate and meet with the patient and family, which brings tremendous reassurance during a very difficult time. Their liaison, Chris Tran, is exceptional. Communication is always fast, clear, and reliable. Chris is proactive, knowledgeable, and makes the referral process smooth for both the facility and the family. Knowing that Redwood Hospice is involved gives me confidence that patients will receive compassionate, timely, and high-quality end-of-life care. I highly recommend Redwood Hospice to families and healthcare professionals looking for a hospice provider they can truly trust

I am reposting this review so other families understand exactly what they may experience. My…read morefamily's time with this hospice provider during my father's care was unacceptable. Nursing care was inconsistent and unreliable. Visits were often limited to once a week at random times, sometimes missed entirely, or rescheduled without any notice. In the week leading up to my father's passing--when his condition was rapidly declining--we could not get timely support or even basic follow-up. That level of neglect during such a critical time is inexcusable. Administrative handling was just as poor. Essential paperwork, including EDD forms, took months to complete and was ultimately filled out incorrectly. Repeated attempts to contact staff were ignored. I was assigned a representative named Dream, but despite many attempts to reach out, I only received one response. This organization demonstrated a serious lack of communication, accountability, and urgency. Hospice care should provide reliable support and guidance to families during end-of-life care--this provider failed to meet even basic expectations. Families deserve better than this.
