The care teams are 100% patient oriented, and the support teams are wonderful, too. Everyone as a whole genuinely cared about my mother, my family and I. Although AdventHealth is a faith based institution they accommodated my mother's jewish faith. My only issue was with an individual on the medical team who took it upon themselves to "preach" to us which we found very uncomfortable!

DO NOT TRUST this company with your loved ones. I wish there was an option for zero stars…read more Our experience with this company was very disappointing. Before switching to their services, we were led to believe that the necessary DME equipment was readily available, but after switching, we were given multiple explanations as to why it was not available. We also had concerns about the care provided during a visit. An aide came to our home for approximately 30 minutes, did not properly clean my father, left his dirty clothing on the floor, and left the home without notifying anyone. I contacted the company to report our concerns. Instead of receiving a call to discuss what happened and hear our side, we received a call from a manager who spoke aggressively to my family and me and said, "We will not talk to our aide that way." We felt that our concerns were dismissed before the situation was fully addressed. We also did not receive an apology for the way we were spoken to.

We were with Cornerstone hospice before my dad passed away not even a year ago so I went with them…read morenow that my mother's in hospice and what a drastic difference as of today she has no nurse no Social Worker the Team Leader Jamie is absolutely horrific to deal with she talks over people takes no accountability for her employees and is downright rude. Do not believe the five star ratings that you have seen here they are a complete utter and outright lie. They aren't keeping track of her prescriptions. We see them once a week. We haven't seen an aid for two weeks and we cannot even get medicine filled. It's like they really just want the people to die. My father was only in their hospice care for about 45 days before I kept him home up to five days before he died in Cornerstone the grief counselor would not give me counseling because she didn't like the way that I looked wrap your mind around that didn't like the way that I looked. They never found us grief counseling. I'm coming up on losing both of my parents within one year. They don't care they don't offer any services except a volunteer to sit and speak with my mother and she doesn't even want that. They've never given us any community resources to help me out in doing errands or small things around the house and I am burnt out they know it. They know that my actual life was in jeopardy. I had a stroke. My mental health is failing and I'm not able to be there for my mother the way I was with my dad. This is a direct result of the care that we are not receiving from this organization. We don't even know her new team the nurse or the aid or the social worker. Let me just tell you, Leslie the first Social Worker was horrible. It's hard to believe that she even has a license. I'm a social worker so I know I worked in family court for 20 years. The quality of people that they provide is just not good. We tipped them all $50 at Christmas the team separately never heard of thank you and this is the kind of car you get. I just spoke with Jamie today and she literally would not let me get a word in edgewise so I just hung up please if you have a loved one and you want compassion do not under any circumstances use Cornerstone trust me when I say they honestly do not care about a dying person or a patient that needs help and they definitely don't care about the caregiver. After speaking with Our Medicare, we are not receiving the services. We are entitled to, and they've never sent us supplies for personal use no pull-ups no nothing but yet they've build Medicare proving once again. Anything in this area is fraudulent charging to Medicare stay tuned.

I immediately took him out and did not let him stay another day, I complained and they told me they were looking into it and never called to give me any updates.
