Amedisys Hospice is a great company. I’m familiar with many other hospices in the area; Amedisys stands out over the others. I would choose Amedisys first every time.

Unexceptional experience for my family. Hospice is supposed to provide comfort to the patient in the comfort of their own home and they failed. For someone to have been experiencing symptoms of discomfort, medications were not present in the home for more than 24 hrs and unable to be delivered because it was the weekend. Very traumatic experience for my family. Care does not stop because it is the weekend. As a hospice nurse in a different state and could not be with my family physically but present on the phone I am not pleased.

My sister was on in-home hospice care 2 1/2 weeks. I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were overwhelmingly amazed and blessed with the care, professionalism, and kindness by all. Everyone made my sister comfortable, doing anything needed for her care. From the family of Vondell Emerick, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! Judy Pearson
