It was a short but meanigful experience. From start to finish everyone was kind, organized, honest and compasionate. Susan, our nurse was great. April our aide was great. The on call nurses were caring and patient. The supplies came quickly. Although it was a rough and terrible time, having someone comunicate and show kindness with my father was touching. I can not speak for others, but I can say our experience was the best.

This company has such incredibly caring people that work here... If you get Renee as your on call nurse when your loved one arrives at your home, then know that your loved one will be taken care of and prepared for comfort and set up for potential issues... If you get Kasey as your regularly scheduled nurse, then you will have the kindest, most geniune person taking care of your loved one... And, if you have questions or concerns and you get Missy in the office, then know that she will help you advocate for your needs and motivate you as the voice of your loved one. Also, Jaquelle was willing to go above and beyond to make sure my loved one's urgent needs were met... As long as these people continue to work here, then this company is the best place during a rough time.

I cannot say enough to do justice to this amazing hospice in Baton Rouge. They genuinely care about their patients. All their staff are exceptional. My father who is under home hospice loves his nurses and the aide. Whatever they do, they do it with love. Thank you Heart of Hospice of Baton Rouge for your great work.
