It feels strange to give a review for a place where one spends their last moments, but as those moments are so valuable, it is important to highlight the great work that Delaware Hospice does. I spent the last several days of my father's life with him at Delaware Hospice, and I was beyond impressed at the care both he and our family received while there. The facility is beautiful, both inside and out. Every patient has a private room with a private bath, and there are patios and plenty of green space to walk around in or look out on. The rooms are of a large size, so there is ample space for loved ones to gather comfortably. The staff were warm and knowledgeable about my father's condition and what he did or did not need at different stages at his decline. I was really touched that we were allowed to bring in the family dog, who meant so much to my dad, to say goodbye. I don't think I am expressing myself well enough here to do this place justice, but I will say that I live out of state now and have thought to myself many times since my father's passing that I hope that when I am at the end of my life's journey I have an equally kind, warm, and understanding environment to take my last breaths in. I don't think they could do a better job.
