We Care Hospice

Looks aren’t everything. Big rooms is about all they have to show for here. The nurses don’t seem to have any compassion. Wouldn’t recommend it, especially if you do not have family to stay with you. They are understaff and not on top of their job. We have struggled to get any help but finally got one or two good nurses who helped calm and assess my grandmother. Still, there are better hospices. If you care about your loved one, i recommend avoiding this one.

My sweet daughter, Danielle Sargent Sherman, was placed here after a long battle with cystic fibrosis, double lung transplant, infection and rejection. We wanted to keep her at home during her last days, but the job of providing medical care and grieving her loss proved too difficult for me, her mom. Our family was devastated to be losing her at the age of 22. We Care Hospice provided services, first at home, and then in the center. The facility was clean and the staff members were loving and caring to all of us. Family members stayed with her every moment during her last days, and everyone was treated like family. Losing my daughter was the greatest loss of my life. I am forever grateful to We Care Hospice for helping make the final leg of Dan’s life journey peaceful. I’m writing this review years later because I was approached by a friend looking for hospice care for his mother. He was scared based upon the reviews he read online. I imagine that anyone writing a review while deep in the grieving process is overwhelmed with sadness, anger and feelings of a complete loss of control. Our experience with We Care was 100% positive, and my child passed from this life with dignity and grace as a result of their help and loving care. Love and Light to all who read this and blessings to you during this difficult time in your life.

This review is about our interactions with the admin assistant and the owner, as we tried to decide whether We Care would be a good option for my father (who has Parkinsons). The first day we got some basic answers from the admin assistant but when our questions became too complicated, related to his medical condition and financials, she immediately offered to schedule a meeting the next day with the owner (who also owns the pharmacy next door). The owner was very thoughtful and measured as he reviewed my father's medical records, asked us about our health care journey so far, looked at options with us for my father's release from the hospital, and made a recommendation that he was probably not ready for hospice at this point. There was no selling of the service or pressure, and the owner shared with us why he got into hospice and allayed any concerns I had about their business model. The inpatient facility is very small (12 units) and very quiet and attractive. I think my father would be happy there, and I will update this review again if /when the time comes for him to transition to hospice care. A final note: by law, families have to be offered choices for hospice care. Singing River Hospital will generally only offer you their hospice center, and not make you aware of other choices. I encourage others to investigate options, not just go with what the hospital social worker tells you.
