Review of Sholom Hospice

I signed up my dad for Sholom hospice a week ago. My father is in an assisted living that works with a different hospice service but my husband works in the senior care industry and he told me to use Sholom because of their outstanding reputation.

After the initial assessment, my father has received two visits: a specialized massage therapist for his Parkinson's and an aid who gave him a bath. My father declared the massage "the best massage I've ever had in my entire life" and the bath "the best shower I've ever had in my entire life" and my mother was over the moon to see him having a great day for a change (two great days, actually!). I do not have the words to describe how it makes me feel to see my parents experience these moments of unhindered joy during this most difficult time. I do not believe in god but these people are doing god's work, truly.

To clear up any confusion, their full name is "Sholom Johnson Hospice Agency" but they seem to go by either Sholom Hospice or Johnson Hospice.
