Circle of Life Hospice

We have been using Circle of Life Hospice for 2 weeks now and we are pleased. They're doing everything we want them to do and our mom is doing better as a result of it. Right now, they come in twice a week, they bathe her, and make sure that she's clean and everything. That's been a big help because we've been trying to train her to wear Depends, and she's been having problems as she has dementia, but they've been working very tenderly with her. Their nurses have been coming in too because she has phlebitis. They're all taking really good care of her and identifying problems that we didn't even know existed like the little cut on her foot that we didn't know about. They discovered it and took care of it. On top of that, they're really sweet and nice people. The person who's been taking care of my mom is very good with her. She has her own kids, and she's so sweet with her and doesn't push her too much, but gets her to agree to do things in a nice, sweet way. She is very stubborn, so I like that the person's method works for her. They're right on top of things and are responsive. If there's a problem, they come right away and have been very, very dutiful. They're here when they say they're going to be here and we've appreciated that. The scheduling has been fine too. We have it all worked out. My husband's here 24/7 so he's the contact person and there haven't been any problems. I know we've only done it for two weeks, but so far, so good.

My father was cared for by the Circle of Life team during his end of life. For me to be able to just spend time with him and be surrounded by so many aspects of care from the Circle of Life team, turned a difficult journey into a one that ended up being a beautiful time with my father and family.

The nurses were wonderful with my Mother Matilda. She passed on May 6th 2015. I greatly have disappointment with this hospice, her last final 2 days. Medication was to be issued for her pain and discomfort. The meds never happened and everyone blams the other about it. JUST PATHETIC. The director of Circle of Life called me and told me that she would look into why the meds came 2 hours after my Mothers death. A lot of good that did!! Furthermore, she told me she would get back with me within a few days with some answers, NEVER HAPPENED. This outfit should be ashamed of themselves to leave my Wife and I hanging on without answers. What really bothers us as well, is that this so called director gal from Circle of Life seemed upset about what happened, must have been a front and shes a great actress. Just imagine your Mother in her last few days uncomfortable because no one had the common sense to see what was going on. She might have even been able to pass peacefully in her sleep, not looking wide awake but passed as I saw her. I will never forget or forgive this organization for such a neglectful way of taking care of my Mom at the end of her life. The only reason I gave 1 star was the nurses were there for her in the past. Because of this I highly DO NOT recommend this hospice. R.Kaufman
