We could not have asked for a better staff or a more peaceful setting for our Mom's last few weeks. She passed away a couple of days ago, and I only have positive things to say about Hill House Hospice. If you need hospice care for a loved one's remaining days, I highly recommend reaching out to see if they can assist.

Though my husband's time at Hill House Hospice was short, his palliative care by the team of nurses, PSW's, Pain Specialist, Support Staff and Volunteers, was excellent.They effectively managed his pain, symptoms, and helped decreased his anxiety during his final last day and hours. He was kept very comfortable and treated with the most dignity and respect. The staff were also empathic to the family and visitors at all times. They allowed family members to remain by the patient's bedside for the entire stay. We would highly recommend this hospice to others due to their excellence. We also commend them for making us feel so comforted during this sad and difficult time. They go the extra mile by offering aftercare; contacting a few weeks later to see how the grieving person is coping, and if you would like bereavement support. Very grateful to them for the care the provided to my husband and family.

Incredible. The nurses, PSWs, volunteers were so compassionate and attentive and gave so much dignity for my mother's last days. Words cannot describe how amazing the staff were to her and our family. I never knew that places like hospices existed and now I will never forget.
