St. Bernardine Hospice Care was just amazing and so comforting to myself and my family. Everything was smooth, from setting up … More my husband's hospital equipment in our home to bringing the supplies I needed very quickly. Every person I had contact with was professional, kind and knowledgeable. They explained things very well, sometimes more than once! They answered my calls quickly and were able to advise, comfort and guide me. Caring for my husband at home was difficult, but they made it a heartwarming memory for my family. I loved my team--Mo, Jennie, April and any others I might have forgotten the name of. It was a blessing to have them ready to help me every step of the way. -

My grandfather received the best care we could have asked for at the end of his life. The entire staff - doctors, nurses, assistants … More - were incredibly caring for him and made him feel comfortable. They even spoke Farsi which made it much easier to speak with my grandfather who was originally from Iran.
They were here for us during an extremely difficult time and we are very appreciative for it. I would highly recommend St. Bernadine Hospice. Their quality and professionalism are everything you would want in a healthcare team. -
