Hospice of St Francis Review

The staff were all very compassionate and knowledgeable. They provided excellent nursing care to my Aunt on this journey. They explained the transitioning process as we went along and were accommodating of our large family and several friends, as most of us stayed at my Aunts bedside the last week of her life. They made her as comfortable as possible and she passed peacefully with her loved ones at her side. Being an RN myself, these nurses made me proud of my profession.

Hospice of St. Francis helped us with one of the most difficult times that a family can experience. They knew what my husband needed even before we asked about it. Everyone we dealt with was very caring and compassionate and very respectful of our concerns. Their guidance and kindness were especially a blessing after my husband's passing. I can't imagine how we would have managed those last days and hours without the wonderful people from Hospice of St. Francis.

To anyone considering the services of Hospice of St. Francis, maybe my review can help you make a decision. My father was recently diagnosed with a devastating and rapidly progressing form of cancer. My parents live in a retirement community in Titusville well away from most of the family and my mother was facing this mostly on her own, with very difficult decisions to make. She chose Hospice of St. Francis and I have to say that was probably one of the most excellent decisions she has ever made.
Hospice of St Francis provided her with a Hospice nurse by the name of Amanda Coffey that must have been born with wings. She was a angel in disguise, always there for her and my father. She was able to help with the medications and any services or supplies that my father needed. I was able to travel to to Florida to help care for him the last 2 weeks of life. Amanda was a blessing that was provided to us in our greatest time of need. She spent a lot of hours with my family providing us with encouragement to help us face what was to come as well as working with us to make sure that my father had what he needed to manage his care at home.
When my father passed away Amanda came to the home and spent time with us grieving as well as doing what she needed to do in her job role. She was very compassionate and understanding especially with my mom. I am a nurse myself and I know dedication when I experience it. I found Amanda to be very dedicated, compassionate, unwavering and devoted to her job role as well as attentive to my family's' needs. I cannot thank Amanda enough. She was a a port in a storm when we needed shelter the most. Thank you Amanda from the bottom of my heart.
Kudos to the Hospice of St Francis for the brilliance to have staff such as Amanda to help families during their most trying and difficult times.

It is 6 years since the passing of my father Eugene McCallan but I felt compelled to comment on the phenomenal service these people provided to my family especially my father in his most delicate moments in life. They really cared for our family, empathized with how we felt and most of all showed incredible love and caring to my Dad. In a terrible situation we all must face in life they really cared. If I could them 10 Stars I would. These people make a difference.

These people are truly angels among us. They were so caring and attentive to my father in his last days. I would recommend this beautiful place to anyone. It was clean, peaceful and well maintained. Thank you to the amazing staff for being so caring to my whole family and most of all my Dad. Sherry held me while I cried, after his passing like we were family. These people are amazing.

My grandmother has been in here all week I have never seen such great care and compassion from any facility ever ... I will always remember the care she got from the whole staff that is here !!

The most amazing staff, demonstrated professionalism and care for my family and mother before, during and after her passing.

St Francis team has been great.They stood up for my mom as she needed the understanding and help thru the pain she was suffering.They stayed by her side as we were not able too.
Angela was more then a nurse she did everything possible to help my mom and the family. I can not say enough good things about St. Francis Hospice. We will recommend St. Francis and their team.
Kudos for your help while we go thru this trying time.

Very upset with the care that they provide her with my father and they never listen they never checked his Coumadin my father was sick and he ended up in the hospital with an infection nobody ever told me about it and then when my father passes away not one person from the team has contacted the family to figure out what s going on how they re doing no follow up no nothing and when you call the office they have no idea who you are or what your name is they ask you 50 questions over and over at the same thing to me that is for hospice care because you have to be there to care for the patients and the family and this was not done they failed my father tremendously I had to call them to report my fathers death you depend on hospice for help and I was left alone to grief and had to contact them to tell them my father passed no response from anyone on starfish team

I have always believed that there are angels on earth and after the experiences I had with Hospice of Saint Frances during the final days for my wife, which I had the honor to be married to, I am now convinced that they work for them. Words cannot express my gratitude for all they did for us. Thank you and God bless all of you.
