Angela Hospice lived up to their promise of making the final moments more comfortable for the…read moreindividual and family. Not only did Angela provide professional, compassionate and person-cented care, they did so with incredible humanity and grace. Even when we came to the "nitty gritty" of finances and paperwork, they showed incredible grace and professionalism. A tip I received from a social worker was to take a good look around and "trust my gut" about whether this felt like a comfortable place for my loved one. Prima facie, it did, and in the end, it absolutely was.

A heartbreaking experience during my father's final days…read more I am writing this review as a heartbroken daughter who trusted Angela Hospice to provide compassionate care for my father during the final weeks of his life. Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing, and I would not recommend this company to other families. We were with Angela Hospice for only two weeks before my father passed away. I had already been planning to switch hospice providers due to concerns about his care. However, as his condition rapidly declined and he became unresponsive, I was unable to make the transition. I deeply regret that we did not have the opportunity to find another provider. I was paying $4,100 per month for my father's around-the-clock care at his residence, with hospice services being an additional expense. When I called Angela Hospice for assistance, I was told, "We are not 24/7 care." This response was unnecessary and incredibly frustrating. I was not expecting hospice to replace the caregivers we were already paying for. I understood that distinction. I expected hospice to provide the additional medical support, care coordination, and compassionate end-of-life services my father and family needed. Instead, I often felt we were left to figure things out ourselves. I also found his nurse to be extremely cold and lacking compassion. While she was knowledgeable, medical knowledge alone is not enough when caring for someone who is dying. Families are experiencing some of the most painful moments of their lives and deserve a nurse who can balance clinical expertise with warmth, empathy, and understanding. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. The inconsistency in care was equally upsetting. I had to specifically request that my father receive a bath, and his first week was skipped because of a holiday. I understand that holidays affect scheduling, but hospice care does not stop because it is a holiday. My father was dying, and basic care should not have been delayed. On another occasion, someone came to provide care but left because my father did not answer the door. He was physically unable to get up from the couch. He was on hospice and nearing the end of his life. How could anyone reasonably expect him to get up and answer the door? Rather than making an effort to ensure he was okay, the caregiver left. As a result, my father had to wait another week for his nurse to provide a bath. This was unacceptable. I had never navigated hospice care before. I am a relatively young woman who was watching her father, who was also far too young, approach the end of his life. I was trying to navigate an unfamiliar process while ensuring he was comfortable, cared for, and treated with dignity. Instead of feeling supported, I often felt I had to advocate for even the most basic aspects of his care. Those final days should have been about spending time with my dad, not worrying about whether his care team would show up or follow through. The lack of compassion continued after my father passed away. I was told someone from Angela Hospice would contact me following his death. When I called the next day, I was asked, "What do you need?" There was no expression of sympathy, no acknowledgment of my loss, and not even a simple "I'm sorry for your loss." As I write this review, nine days have passed since my father died, and I have not heard from anyone at Angela Hospice. Hospice care should be about more than medical knowledge. It should be about compassion, dignity, consistency, and supporting families through the most painful moments of their lives. We desperately needed those things and, in my experience, did not receive them. I recognize that we were only with Angela Hospice for two weeks, but those were some of the most significant and heartbreaking days of my life. My father was nearing the end of his life, and there was no opportunity for a second chance. I cannot get those days back, and I deeply regret that his final weeks were marked by so much disappointment and frustration. My father deserved better, and our family deserved better. I would not recommend Angela Hospice to families seeking compassionate end-of-life care. I encourage families to ask detailed questions about visit frequency, personal care, responsiveness, and bereavement support before choosing a provider. No family should have to look back on their loved one's final days and feel as unsupported and let down as we do.

About 5 weeks ago, we made the decision to put my 94 yr old mother in hospice and her assisted…read moreliving facility recommended Assured. At the time, Mom was terminal but not "actively" dying. We met with a social worker and an RN who explained the services hospice offers. It was the best decision we made for Mom and our family. Every member of mom's care team - Kari (social worker), Nancy (RN), Patrick (LPN), and Janice (aide) were completely hands on. Not only did they offer quality care and loving support to Mom but also to our entire family. My mom passed away 5 days ago in a way that offered a dignified and peaceful passing. Our hospice "family" gave us a gift of quality time with Mom, and we will forever be grateful.

THE WORST! My Aunt was in Hospice care with Assured at her Senior facility. The aide panicked when…read moremy Aunt had a stomachache and shoulder pain and called 911...Did not call me, or their Hospice nurse...sent straight to the hospital. Now it has been a logistic nightmare of hospital and hospice rules and regulations. Finally trying to get my Aunt back to her apartment and Assured has refused to now give her care. I talked to the owner Zahir, and I told him I was confused that they were telling me they would not care for her when they had not even assessed her. (My Aunt was back to herself after being drugged up on Ativan at the hospital for three days) He kept telling me.."My attorney this, my attorney that..." I said, "I do not believe your attorney is the one giving her care and that I cannot believe you would be making decisions for Seniors based things that were not factual, and may I remind you that we would NOT be in this situation if your aide would have not called 911 and we would have treated my Aunt the way that we signed up for..."HOSPICE"!...Do I need to have my attorney contact YOUR attorney?" Zahir said, "Forget it now, we will not reassess your Aunt and we don't want anything to do with you or your Aunt" 'click' Yes, the owner hung up on me because I questioned him on his integrity. A NIGHTMARE! NEVER, ever, EVER use Assured Care. You just do not know what you're getting! Guess what, my attorney WILL be contacting your attorney!
