Visiting Nurses Association & Hospice

terrible. left hospital only to have vicodin at home with a very sick and in pain relative. morphine was justified but by the time they brought it, he died instantly from too much vicodin (thats all chomp/​vna gave) in the system on top of the morphine they brough a day later. for a faster agonizing death call them!

The VNA was assigned to take care of my Mother after a long stay in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility. I was terribly disappointed that it took so long before anyone contacted us to get her care started (6 days after discharge!).
Once visits began, I found that her nurse was very rude, condescending, and unreliable. I had to call and ask VNA NOT to send this nurse again, due to her demeanor toward members of our family. When they sent a new nurse, there seemed to be little difference in her attitude.
Communications was poor. The same questions were asked on every visit regarding what medications she was taking, and what her living status was, (they kept recording that she lived alone, which was incorrect), even after the information was «corrected» over and over again!
I would not recommend this agency to anyone! They seem to have a «lock» on the area because most people don’t know there are alternatives. We later contracted Good Life Home Care after later stay in the hospital. The care my Mother received from this group was the total opposite of what VNA provided. They were courteous, respectful, kept impeccable records, and care began the SAME DAY my Mom was discharged!

Went here to get my immunizations for nursing school here. Friendly staff, but the confusing appointment system. Although, once a patient, it becomes more clear on who to talk to. I took one star off because, although my insurance is accepted at this location, for some reason they won’t go through the legwork of sending the paperwork through for a claim. I’ve had to submit the claims myself. MOre work is always less-​desireable!

With the threat of meningitis rising, and having never lived in a college dorm situation, I felt the need to go ahead and get vaccinated on my own.
My personal physician didn’t offer the vaccine, but referred me to the VNA and Hospice. Not that you need a referel! Just call and make an appointment!
The RNs are very nice and give you all the information you need. Alicia gave me my vaccines and was a delight! Very easy-​going and personable. I don’t know if she is the only RN there, but she is the only one I saw and the one I would go back to if I needed a booster or a new immunization.
The only downside is that they don’t take insurance at the office. But, they do give you a detailed receipt to send along and file a claim yourself.
Whenever I plan to travel somewhere exotic, I will definitely come back and see what I need from this place!
