Heart of Hospice took great care of my mom six years ago. Now, it’s my father’s turn. I can’t begin to say enough good and positive words about everyone especially Rachel Boggs. My father accidentally burned his feet and legs. He can be a difficult 93 year old. Rachel has handled him and his burn care with so much professionalism. He looks forward to her visits. We appreciate our nurse, Rachel Boggs.

I was extremely pleased with the care they gave our family member. She was treated with care and respect. They kept us informed after every visit. Ashley Thornton personally visited after her work hours and would check on her by text. Would definitely recommend Heart of Hospice!
