What Families Say
Real letters from families we’ve had the honor of caring for.
Thank you for the excellent care of our Mom, Helen and prior to that, your care of our Dad, Ralph. More than excellent care, you showed our parents love and every kindness, warmth and dignity. You kept us informed after every visit and brought a bit of joy with you every time you visited. We are so appreciative of all you have done to help our parents on their journey home. Particularly during the pandemic closures, you were part of Mom's “hands on” family when we could not be there.
I just wanted to say how wonderful Open Arms Hospice was in assisting with my sister's mother-in-law's passing. Veronica was amazing! The care and devotion to Marlene & our family was so caring and professional we can't thank you enough. You will never know how your kindness touched our family! I would highly recommend this company if you are in need of hospice services.
About a year ago my mom was diagnosed with fast onset dementia. She was under the watch of Open Arms Hospice and we are beyond grateful for the loving, respectful, patience and compassion the entire team provided to my mom and our family. The nurses/aids, doctor, social worker, Chaplain Lauren, Dan Clemente and entire team goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to keep everyone feeling comfortable and loved during a time when life is coming to an end.
