We admitted my mother to Amedisys Hospice not realizing she would pass so quickly. The support the team provided was immediate and loving. My mother loved her care team and I was especially thankful for the support they provided me as her caregiver. They have continued to reach out to me in bereavement support as well. I truly feel that if I needed any one of them now, I could reach out to them.

The staff at Compassionate Care did an outstanding job with my father and made sure he was well cared for during the final months of his life. Jennifer and Tiffany made sure that everything was handled from the business side of things, and Dr. Lucas and his nurses and aides all did a wonderful job with his care and daily needs. My wife and I could not have provided the high level of care my father needed without the great people at Compassionate Care assisting us in every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make sure that, not only was my father taken care of, but also that my wife and I were provided with any assistance that we needed. We highly recommend Compassionate Care to anyone who needs honest and diligent help in caring for their loved ones.

I’m so glad that I have help from this company!! They are a team of very experienced professionals that really care!! They have become a part of our family that I can trust and depend on! I don’t want to think of them not being just a phone call away and not being supported by them! If you are a caregiver and need help because you are overwhelmed, please give COMPASSIONATE CARE HOSPICE a call!! You will be so glad you did!!!!!
