Adoration Hospice - Birmingham

There was absolutely NOTHING professional about this company after the initial visit. The hospice nurse was caring (over the phone). She was never available - nor any other nurse whenever we needed someone or had questions. It was nothing like what people told me hospice would be like. The night my mother passed the most unprofessional, uncaring nurse arrived, upset and loud because I did not want morphine. We had arranged another alternative, and she even argued with the palliative care nurse about it (the only person I knew to call) all while yelling in front of family about how my mom would die a horrible painful death and we would watch it. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

We did not have a good experience. The Nurse did not communicate with us very much. My mother did not have a nurse visit her for over a week. A nurse is supposed to visit twice a week.

The Oasis rep who spoke with me while my Mom was in the hospital was a lovely person and answered many of my questions on the spot. I wanted my Mother to live with us during her hospice care and she explained how all that could happen. We had hospital equipment brought into our home, a visiting nurse several times a week, and an aide that came to bathe her and change bedding 3x per week. In addition, we had a Chaplin and social worker come visit with Mom about every three weeks. All the regular help and substitutes were so compassionate and caring. I cannot say enough good things about this company. The people they hire are all wonderful and see their work not only as a job but a mission to serve those nearing the end of life. I could not have helped Mom better by hiring this company as our hospice provider. They provided me with booklets containing specifics on what to expect during various stages that would occur during their declining health. Our helpers were always responsive to return calls if we had questions and a nurse was always available after hours, if needed. We had Oasis hospice a little over a year. Mom was able to get pain meds, as necessary, so they keep the patient comfortable. I would highly recommend Oasis if you have a family member requiring hospice care. Sincerely, Marilyn W.
