I wanted to take a moment and share how grateful I am for the team from Hospice of the West. My father John was placed in Hospice about a month ago after a lengthy illness. Jacey, (NP) guided us through the process as well as the intake nurse Heather We were provided the team of Nurse Ashley, SW Lisa and CNAs Art and Leo. My mom was also able to talk to counselor Debra. Josiah was amazing as well as he met with my parents and provided them spiritual guidance and support (as well as talked football with my dad! ).
This team was amazing!! Lisa provided us guidance on working through our emotions and guided us through items like medical power of attorney. Leo and Art, my dad's CNAs were so gentle and kind with his bathing and other care needs. They made us smile as we took this journey with my dad. They also made sure we were not without needed care supplies. Lastly, Ashley my dad's nurse was our SAVIOUR!! We were worried at the end of my father's life that he pass with dignity and comfort. We would call the number and Ashley would call us back immediately. Ashley, guided us through his medical needs and because of her expertise and kindness he passed Peacefully. She came out to our home almost daily at the end. All of these individuals leant an ear and support when needed. My mom and I would not have been able to navigate my father's passing without them. Thank you Hospice of the West team, YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY DAD's final month/days and moment. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR MY MOM AND I to ensure he passed with comfort and peace and that you did not overlook our needs as well. I recommend Hospice of the West for any family who has a loved one in need. Janette Bell
