Absolutely horrible experience. My Dr. referred them and they did not not attend to patient at all. Hospital bed was requested, but none came. Told them he was holding his head and complaining about pain and was promised some pain medicine, but nothing came. I requested the last rites from a Priest but he never came. Day before death I called and told his nurse that he wasn’t eating and asked if he was dying and was told no, that he was fine. Went to Dr Moutons office early in the morning to tell him that his patient wasn’t doing well and he turned and walked away. That 30 sec visit resulted in 5 pages of fraudulent conditions of myself and People Health a huge invoice to be paid by Medicare. Made a consultation visit a couple of weeks later, for 4 minutes but again, 5 more pages of fraud and and said he no longer wanted me as a patient. Lies, fraud and theft from Cardinal Hospital and Dr. Mouton. Theft of Medicare funds. These are all felonies and it will not be dropped until Dr Mouton is arrested and loses his license. Fraud, waste and abuse of Medicare needs to stop!

My family member has been with Cardinal Hospice almost 3 years. I am very pleased. The staff is compassionate, caring, supportive and available to talk with us when there is a need. I know it is hard to provide perfect service all the time, but they come very, very close to doing just that. They are like family. I know I made the best choice for my family by choosing Cardinal Hospice!
