LifePath Hospice Melech Hospice House

My mother-in-law stayed at Melech Hospice House. They said they were going to pick her up at 7:00 that night, and they didn't show up until almost 11. When they finally showed up, they got her on the gurney and took her to the place. They got her in her room, and then the people in the hospice were very nice. They cleaned her up and made sure she was comfortable. They said that my wife could stay with her as long as she wanted. She can even stay overnight. They had a little bed area for all that stuff. There are no complaints. They kept my mother-in-law comfortable, so she would have no pain. They were very caring and helped my wife when she was there.

I am so thankful that our family was given this opportunity to spend with my sister as she journeyed to the end. The doctor and staff were not only professional but the empathy and care were outstanding. The room was more like a nice hotel room, not so much as a hospital. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. Due to my first time experiencing this, I am forever grateful for the care and compassion shown to my sister and us. Which to me was of the utmost importance. Even when she was no longer aware of anything they treated her as if she did. I will be thankful forever for the respect they gave her. Thank you so much.

My mother-in-law received wonderful care at this hospice house after it was determined that she would not recover from a stroke. The facility itself is beautiful and exudes a calm and serene atmosphere - exactly as I had hoped it would since it was not possible for her to go back to her apartment. She spent 5 days here after transfer from the ICU. She died peacefully in a room that looked more like a nice hotel than institutional. Both her son and I were able to be with her, the nurses gave us privacy but were instantly available if we needed help with anything. I am forever grateful to everyone who made her time, and our time there, pleasant and peaceful. You all attended to her needs efficiently and with love. The ceremony you held to recognize her service as a nurse was much appreciated and very touching. Her passing was profound and comfortable and a lot of it was due to the atmosphere surrounding Lifepath Melech Hospice House. If you find yourself in a similar situation - you will be in good hands to have a loved one under their care. Caring nurses and caring administrators.

As a caregiver to my Father this facility was not a good fit for us. The nurses,  CNA's, and support staff were amazing and they really CARE. Unfortunately I can NOT say the same for their Nurse Practitioners.  Not only was I talked down upon on the first day being told " Well he can't live here", today I was told " You don't make the rules." I did report it and found out that the Nurse Practitioners are contracted out. I would like to thank the supervisors and the rest of the staff for showing compassion,  love, and understanding for our feelings during this difficult time. I am taking my Father home and out of this facility.

Our Father Clyde Mathis was admitted to this facility from Brandon Hospital. It was a very clean nice place, the ladies we had we absolutely wonderful, caring, gentle, and compassionate. Our father passed very peacefully. We can’t thank the staff in the green wing enough for your kindness and compassion for our father and us. I definitely recommend this hospice house

We had a good experience here, it only lasted for a few days but the staff and doctor were very nice and very caring of our pain and suffering. The room was clean and big but the tranquility that this place has was great, it don't matter were you go it was peaceful. I was very confused about the next steps to follow for my hubby and the doctor was very professional and guided me though all. She was so knowledgeable and it all happened as she said it would, I felt prepared and at ease. They make sure my lovely husband of 21 years had his medications on time and accommodated all of us, we are a big family and those days the majority of the family and church members will go to be with us and filled all the living rooms, waiting areas and cafeteria spaces and still everyone was nice to us. Always smiling and showing they "CARED" for our pain. The nurses and the doctor at the Blue wing were excellent, thank you ladies for all the attention, compassion and strength you show for us and the family. I wish this place the best and praise that they work with pride and compassion. If I had to choose a place again, it will be this place At Melech Hospice again!! Thanks BLUE wing staff!!!!
