Rainbow Hospice

These people are incredibly caring and competent. My dad was in good hands during his 6 days in hospice. And the staff was very friendly toward family as well.

I worked at the front desk for three years and can confirm your loved one will be in excellent hands at Rainbow. From where I sat, I saw and heard a lot so my opinion is very trustworthy. The nurses and the bereavement staff make up the heart of Rainbow. They have a very caring Clinical Director of Nursing and Medical Director overseeing patient care. The inpatient unit is like no other around. The Development Staff is always working hard to bring in donations that I can verify are used appropriately and wisely. Rainbow has high standards all the way around and they are prepared to help you and your family when the time comes. Should you call Rainbow to discuss your situation, ask for the Admissions dpt. They are a phenomenal group of people too.

Now, thinking about the donation I made after all was over the last thing I would say is «Pay it forward» if you can afford it, help someone else with this tremendously helpful service if you can…

there truly are angels among us… i also know that they work and serve at rainbow hospice .to finally realize, that my precious mother needed the services provided by rainbow was the hardest decision that i have ever needed to make in my lifetime. once the choice was made, my mothers end of life and my journey to the end were able to free me up to be my mothers daughter. rainbow, especially our «pink» team, saved my life, and made the last journey of my moms the most comfortable and painfree that you could only hope & pray for. The most caring, thoughtful and compassionate folks, that work at rainbow, make the most trying and difficult of times bearable. They offer services and programs that are most unique. «Our», nurses ruth and judy, social worker, karen, chaplain nitza, and the aides are truly the angels, that walked with «US“through the long, hard journey. Fear not, with these folks

Recently, my mom got put into hospice care and got put with the pink team of rainbow. I was a little nervous for what to expect but wow! Everyone that came in was very fantastic and seemed to really have sympathy for the family. Not only did they do exceptional job on my mom, they also cared about the rest of the family. Our nurse Sharon was absolutely the sweetest person I’ve ever met. This is the reason why I’m writing this review. She always checked up on all of us! As my mom got closer to God, Sharon was there to talk to all of us. She made sure we were all ok at this hard time. I have nothing but good things to say. I recommend this service 100%. Although my mom was in pain, they tried their best to do everything they could to comfort her.

My mother was a patient at Rainbow Hospice and Palliative Care Ark. The angels who took care of her were amazing. Not only did they make sure that she was comfortable and pain free, they made sure that our family was well taken care of and understood my mother’s medical condition minute by minute. We could be with my mother as much as we wanted and her family and friends had the opportunity to spend time with her and say good bye before she died. Even the dog was invited to visit. I can never say thank you enough to all those who were involved with my mother’s care and would recommend Rainbow Hospice and Palliative Care to anyone who was facing a similar situation to ours.

I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Rainbow Hospice. The staff– nurses, doctors, CNAs, clerical staff, chaplains, social workers, etc. are all excellent… I have not met one staff member here that isn’t completely devoted to the care of their patients as well as the well-​being of the family members.
The Inpatient Unit, the «Ark» is beautifully decorated and patients get so much care and attention, especially when compared to the hospital. It is an amazing place to bring your loved one for symptom management or transition at the end of life. The patients are given the dignity and respect they deserve and are never treated like numbers or objects. The staff seem to have great training in deal with death and grief as they are very sensitive to family members when your loved one dies and also respectful of the patient before, during and after the dying process.

Pink Team. My Mom was short lived as she progressed quickly and passed within a week. Not sure I ever saw all the services available. Social worker Karen, great. Nurse, Mary Beth, Meh. Sorry, when your dealing with COPD and emphysema and laryngeal cancer, I don’t care for my nurse to smell like cigarettes. Just a personal turn-​off. The chapel was foreign and I had a hard time connecting. I expected, hoped, for more. But, it went fast. Praise God. They were efficient if that is what they are going for. Karen Maczka was awesome. Weekend crew was very good also.

The Purple Team of the Rainbow Hospice organization were simply amazing. Our nurse, Monika, was exceptional and my mother-​in-​law truly bonded with her. Monika went above and beyond in keeping us updated and informed of things and guided us through the two month process. When my mother-​in-​law was transported to The Ark, the doctors, nurses and all involved were caring, compassionate and simply warm and understanding to my mother-in-law’s needs as well as our needs. They made sure mom was comfortable and they provided much needed comfort to my husband and I as well. We will always remember the way they cared for Mom up until her last breath. Each and every one of the nurses, doctors and even the lady who played the harp (sorry, I can’t recall her name now), were angels to us and we are lucky to have had them in our lives for the week that Mom was in The Ark. I shed a lot of tears during that week and everyone was very compassionate and I so appreciated all of the hugs and kind words given to us. Words cannot express our gratitude, but I will never forget how kind you were to us. God Bless!

The Rainbow Hospice folk were so kind and helpful during our final days with our grandmother. They came when called, they advocated for us, and they comforted us. They were the saviors among a horrible nursing care system. Thank you, Rainbow!

Rainbow Hospice is an amazing organization that helped us during a very difficult time. As my Mother in Law’s health declined the hospitals and nursing home offered a us little in the way of information and support. Rainbow Hospice helped us wade through all of our options and make care decisions. In the end, we were unable to provide the in home assistance my Mother in Law required, but The Ark (the inpatient facility for Rainbow Hospice) offered us a warm and compassionate place to spend our last days with her. We stayed with her in a private room that was as close to a home like setting as possible. A moment that we had dreaded since her initial cancer diagnosis finally came to pass, but Rainbow Hospice helped to provide dignity, in what were her final days.
My thanks to Rainbow Hospice and your caring compassionate staff and volunteers!
