Testimonials

After going to work for hospice in 2006, I have truly learned how important and special hospice is to the patients and families facing end of life. The services provided by hospice care is something you truly can't appreciate unless you have personally been affected….and I have. My mother-in-law passed away in May 2007 while on hospice. The care, compassion and love shown by her hospice team was amazing. My only regret is that we did not get her on hospice sooner. Heartstrings Hospice is my passion. Helping others is my passion. Making a difference in someone's life is my passion. Providing the services patients and families need at the end of life to ensure they have the best "quality" of life they can is my passion. That's truly why "Compassion Matters". A. Knight, Business Administrator


"My mother-in-law was at the place where she was unable to get in a car to go to the doctor. The hospice nurse came in and visited her every week. They informed the family of her condition, her needs and what to expect at this time in her life. They supplied her needs with dignity and respect for the family." - Mary Jo R.


" I could never say enough good things about Heartstrings Hospice; they are the most caring, compassionate group of people. The professionalism of the nurses and staff show how they treat the patients with not only empathy and kindness, but as if they were caring for their own family member. They approach the challenges that every patient and their immediate family face when dealing with life changing diagnoses, as a whole picture not just the patient's illness. We know that they have taken great care of my father-in-law while battling his terminal and progressing prostate cancer, but when my mother-in-law, whom is the immediate caregiver, became ill herself and had to be hospitalized your staff went above and beyond to assist with making sure that my father-in-law was okay. They made extra trips to check on him and to make sure that his stand-in caregiver understood about his medications and routine. They also checked on how my mother-in-law's status was and if she was getting better. What more could I say? Thank you and it means a lot to our family that they have been there for us, all of us." - Sylvia S.

To the entire Heartstrings Hospice,
I am writing to commend you for the excellent service that you and your staff were able to provide to my family and I during our time of loss.  Though death is an inevitable part of life, I will say that we are never ever really prepared to say goodbye to a loved one.  You all were able to support us in ways that I could not have imagined.  Though my mother was unable to recover from this last stroke, when she came home I know that she was at peace.  For you all to have been there for me and my family during those times is worth more than one can put into words.
From the beginning to the end of the entire process, you all have been supportive every step of the way.  Your level of professionalism is outstanding and beyond anything that I could have ever expected. 
Warm Regards,
Son of Patient – Savannah G.

Staff,
God put some of the most beautiful and caring people in our lives when he sent our Daddy to Heartstrings.  Each of you came into Daddy’s home with compassion and concern for Daddy and our family.  I can never express my gratitude for getting us thru the difficult time.  Daddy looked forward to seeing each of you and you truly earned his respect.  I cherish each of you who worked with my father. 
Eternally Grateful,
