Vitas Dothan provides amazing patient care. Their entire staff from admissions to hospice nurses are amazing. Their marketing team is always involved in community outreach and providing activities as well as helping nursing home and hospital staff stay educated on all things hospice related. During tragic times when caring really matters their entire team went above and beyond to make sure all the stress was off our family. Would highly recommend not only as a business but as great people as well.
