My father's circumstance was not unique to what most families experience when a family member's health fluctuates to better after refusing any further medical attention and being transferred to a hospice. The challenge of figuring out what next was resolved by this facility working with me to allow him to stay for continued care. I greatly appreciated the staff to patient ratio, the attention rendered by the weekend staff, the comforting energy of the Chaplain and the support of our social worker.

There were plenty of inconsistencies in practices by both Nurses and CNAs. Communication could have been more forthright.There were decisions made without discussion or approval by me that I didn't appreciate. However, I believe my father lived longer there than if he had to return to the negligence of Legacy Nursing Home. In addition, we were able to create and relish in some beautiful experiences ranging from a Quintet singing to my father to a complimentary photo shoot by Love Not Lost organixation to commemorate my Dad's life (priceless). Even after my father's death they are providing me grief counseling to assist with my lost.

Is there room for improvement? Absolutely! However, Harbor Grace Hospice has some really beautiful people that invested in my father the type care I desired for him. For this I am thankful.
