Sanctuary Hospice

Hospice is not the «h-​word» that most people think. It is a service that gathers a team to help the ailing loved one and their family. My aunt was under the care of Sanctuary Hospice for several months. With their caring staff and help, my aunt got better and was released from hospice. I am forever grateful to Sanctuary for their help and concern, professionalism and discernment.

I cannot praise Sanctuary Hospice enough. Every single person on their staff is the best. They are literally angels. This must be one of the toughest jobs in the health care industry but you would never know it by their attitude. No matter what day or time, they were always there for my family and my grandmother. My grandmother was under their care for six weeks. And we literally do not have one single complaint about any of the care we received by this entire team. She passed away at home due to Alzheimer’s. She was never in pain and was at peace. We were all by her side. Exactly as she had wished from day one.
I am sorry to see the one star review below but that negativity is an internal family issue and not Sanctuary’s fault. Sanctuary does not deserve a one star review because siblings don’t talk. Anyone reading this take note! Everyone should have a will and have a power of attorney on file. You choose the person who is best suited to handle your medical needs to be the one named on your POA. You also need to have a clear opinion on your DNR and have it completed as well. The hospice is there and will follow the wishes of the patient. If the patient has not completed a will, POA and/​or DNR then their care if left up to the family member they are with. Make sure you and your loved ones wishes are clearly detailed! Then you can avoid the disaster mentioned below. We showed Sanctuary my grandmother’s will, POA and DNR. There was never a question about the care she wished to receive.
