I highly recommend this place. They were very compassionate and understanding. Dr.Tribble was honest and open. He was compassionate as well.I just went through the hardest time in my life watching my wife die. They were there when I needed them. They took such good care of her. They were always turning her and cleaning her. I have the deepest thanks to them all for being so nice to her. Thanks to all of you at Visiting Nurse's.
This is the best place on earth. My mom was here and the nurses and staff and all the volunteers and others really made you feel more relax and took care of all your needs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Give them a call talk to them. I thank this place everyday since my mom passed away. Thank you Visiting Nurse for helping me and my family out! :)
My dad was lovingly cared for by the staff at Hospice Home. The family support was outstanding. The staff answered all of our questions and helped us to feel comfortable during this most difficult time.
My husband's grandfather was in hospice here. He passed in March of 2015. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and most of all caring. Chuck was comfortable during his last days and the facility had very high quality lounges for family. Coffee, vending machines, etc. They made Chuck's last days more enjoyable for everyone.
......I wish I could give no stars to the "employees" and "owners" of this "business"......please see a very accurate review of this "nefarious" place on "rip off reports".
I cannot say enough positive things about Visiting Nurse & Hospice. They were so wonderful to my mother-in-law for over 5 months while she received care for kidney failure. Every nurse who cared for her was so compassionate as well as patient and informative with me and my many questions. If I had a concern with medication or the plan they always listened and adjusted if needed. In the end they were wonderful, she passed peacefully with the aid of the doctors and nurses in our home, as she wished. After her death they reached out to offer grief counseling to both my husband and myself. I highly recommend this agency when care of your loved one is needed. They never turn anyone away.
I can't say enough good things about Visiting Nurse hospice care. They made my grandmother's transition wonderful. Every time we needed something, Visiting Nurse was delivering it almost immediately (within an hour). I can say so much about them but I don't have the space. If my family ever needs hospice care again, we will definitely be calling Visiting Nurse.
My mother has been in this service for 7 weeks. I highly recommend it.
My brother Kerry Ridge spent his last days here. Every person I talked with, every person who helped him and myself were some of the most compassionate, loving people I have ever met. They treated him and his family like we were family, with respect and dignity. I would recommend Visiting Nurse in Ft. Wayne to everyone.
Great and caring staff. Very helpful. I would recommend their services.
Thank you Visiting Nurse Hospice Center for giving such good care to my father in law, Irvin Slabach. He passed away peacefully at your center. The room was so comfortable, the staff was amazing and the service you provided for the family was above and beyond.
I recommend this facility. Thank you very much again, for your great service and support.
...... abuse and neglect.............that is all I can honestly say.
.....employees "cover- up" for each other, and that includes the "owners" of this hideous place.
I highly recommend this place. They were very compassionate and understanding. Dr.Tribble was honest and open. He was compassionate as well.I just went through the hardest time in my life watching my wife die. They were there when I needed them. They took such good care of her. They were always turning her and cleaning her. I have the deepest thanks to them all for being so nice to her. Thanks to all of you at Visiting Nurse's.
I would give Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home a 100 star review if it was possible. My Daughter spent the last nine days of her life here.The staff did everything in their power to make her feel comfortable. I could use all the other words like compassionate, caring, respect, dignity and the staff was all of these, but most important they treated us like FAMILY.
Yes I would highly recommend.
If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Very peaceful and caring staff who understand what you are going through. Very supportive and attentive. Can t thank them enough for being there for my family.
We had the most amazing experience! Wonderful caregivers!
My mom passed away here 4 weeks ago from the time we found out she had cancer until the time she passed away was only 6 weeks she was only in the facility for 1 1/2 days she was fine going in other than in a lot of pain so she was there to get the pain under control we were supposed to take her home the following morning. It happened extremely fast after we took her there. Since this time trying to deal with the grieving I have done some research and have found that they had my mom on a high dose of methedone and they were also giving her ativan for anxiety and now I see that those two medicines together are lethal. So yes I feel they killed my mom!!
My mother passed away at visiting nurse facility almost 3 weeks ago. Her home nurse Ginger was very loving and caring for my mom. We took her to the facility on a Tuesday evening to get her pain under control. We immediatly looked up the website and read the reviews and seen that they received excellent reviews. That was NOT what our family experienced!! Upon admission the nurse told us that our mother was no where near the end of her life and was very rough with my mother, even after I explained that she was full of cancer and in excruciating pain. My mother was so scared! The next day my mother was so scared she had a full on anxiety attack!!! Which was completely ignored! We asked several times for them to give her something to calm her down and we may has we'll have been talking to a wall because we got no response! We were also told upon admission that the Dr would be in to see our mom first thing in the morning. That she was first on the list, it was 2:00 in the afternoon before she arrived! We were told that they could not give her anything for the anxiety until the Dr seen her....during that visit with the Dr we had started noticing physical changes with our mom that we asked about. The Dr told us "sometimes this just happens and she is probably nervous." At this point my mom was completely scared out of her mind. I went to the nurses station to demand her things so we could move her to a different facility. We felt that our mother was NOT getting comfort Care and being neglected. The nurse completely blew me off! At this point a social worker named Mary came to speak with me. After I explained what was going on and that we were very unhappy with the level of care we were receiving she went to talk with the nurse in charge of my mother's care and Dr. I felt then as if our family was talked about and targeted as a trouble family. At shift change we finally received a lovely nurse named Rachel that took excellent care if our mother! She was very attenative and made sure my mother was comfortable. Towards evening she came in to assess my mom when I asked once again about the physical changes we were seeing. After a full assessment she informed us that my mother's circulatory system was shutting down and we were probably hours to days to her passing. I thanked her for being honest with us. I ran home to get an overnight bag and to check on my I'll father. As I was preparing to head back I received a phone call from my sister to get my dad up there right now! My mom was not going to be with us much longer. We arrived back at the facility at 1230 am. As I entered my mother's room, I am haunted by what I saw! My mom was in such distress! Her arms and legs were flailing in the bed and she was moaning and groaning! At this point there was a new nurse named Barb that was very inpersonal. I immediately asked why she was not being sedated where as I was looked at in shock and told they didn't know we wanted her sedated. Once again my mom was scared out of her mind and once again, no comfort Care!! My mom passed at 125 AM. When we prepared to leave at 330 AM i told Barb we would be back that day for my mother's belongings, I was told we needed to take her things now and was handed a bag! At 9 Am, I received a phone call from the company that provides the home equipment saying they were asked to come pick up the equipment from our home ! Since all of this we have not received any phone calls checking on our family from a single nurse or social worker. Visiting nurse did NOT provide comfort Care for my mother!! Be very cautious using this hospice service!! I hope to spare another family of this experience that has haunted me every day since my mother passed!!
Condescending. Rude. Demeaning. I wouldn't come back to put my dog down here.
If you feel like the nurses are being nasty PLEASE secretly record the conversation with your smart phone as evidence and send it up the ladder.
I dont think they care though either - as you can see they use the same copy & paste reply that its false information and want to prosecute (for telling the truth). Which is why its SO important to record all conversations with nasty nurses on your smart phone.
This place is awful!! My father in law is in their care now..he hads huge bed sores that smell like rotten flesh!,its just awful!! They just keep him drugged up and say there is nothing to do to help heal the sores.
My most precious Aunt spent her remaining days there and the staff was AMAZING
Our family had a wonderful, kind, caring experience with the staff at visiting nurse and hospice. We felt very fortunate and grateful that our family member could spend his last days and hours in their care.
This is where my mom spent her final weeks. I can't say enough about this place and the staff. This was back in 2005, but I still think about this place a lot. Having a cutting garden to get fresh flowers for her each morning was a huge deal! All the way around, it's an awesome place to spend the worst part of my life.
During the most difficult time in my life they made it bearable. I cannot sing their praises enough. Things I didn t even know we might need, they were always one step ahead of us.
