When my dad’s cancer became terminal, he had three wishes: to spend his final days at home, surrounded by his children and loved ones; to die with dignity; and to be as comfortable as possible. Serenity Hospice made every one of those wishes a reality—and so much more.
I truly don’t believe I could have brought my dad into my home and cared for him without their support. From the very first intake appointment to medication deliveries, guidance through every stage of the process, and simply being there to answer questions, they walked beside us every step of the way. No matter the time or the need, I always knew I could call, and someone would be there to help in whatever way was needed.
Losing someone you love changes you forever, but it was also one of the greatest honors of my life to be by my dad’s side, helping fulfill his biggest wish: to not die alone and to spend his final moments in the comfort of his own home. Serenity Hospice made that possible.
Every single member of their team treated my dad with incredible compassion, kindness, and respect. They never made him feel embarrassed, burdensome, or anything less than worthy of exceptional care. It takes truly remarkable people to do hospice work, and their nurses and caregivers represent the very best of humanity.
Thank you, Serenity Hospice, for helping our family through one of the most difficult experiences we’ve ever faced. Because of your compassion, my dad was able to leave this world with the dignity, comfort, and love he deserved. We will never forget the care you gave him—or the kindness you showed all of us.
Overall the providers of the different services, nursing, wellness (acupuncture, massage, hygiene, spiritual ,etc) were very good. I held back a star because the on call nurse seemed ill equipped to deal with death on the morning my mother died. She actually said to me, minutes after my mother died, that she’d had a tough night because another hospice patient had died hours earlier at another location. I was dumbfounded. She had a tough on call shift? Well I just lost my mother. It’s been almost one year since she died and this still bothers me.
