Bridges Hospice - Monroeville

Bridges Hospice was outstanding. They helped our family get through a very difficult time. Everyone I interacted with was caring, empathic, professional and most importantly knowledgeable and responsive to all our needs and questions.

My mother recently passed away after a week in the care of Bridges Hospice. Her nurse Kiersten and aide Nikki were tremendously kind, caring and knowledgeable. They both brought a sense of calm to a very difficult situation. While my mom did not have to receive hospice care for very long, the care she did receive was excellent. Thank you!

My wife was diagnosed with early-onset Dementia at the age of 52. Her mother also battled this horrible disease, developing it at 62 and eventually passing away in our home at 71 under my wife’s loving care. Even though my four daughters and I knew there was a possibility this disease could affect her, nothing truly prepares you for hearing those words from a doctor. In the beginning, she was under the care of her primary doctor, who tried his best but simply did not have the experience or knowledge needed to properly manage such a devastating illness. After several visits and watching her condition continue to decline, I knew it was time to find a better path to bring her comfort and peace for whatever time she had left in this world. That is when I reached out to Bridges Hospice, a local company with an outstanding reputation in our community. From the very first week, I witnessed a complete transformation in my wife’s care. They adjusted her medications quickly, and I saw firsthand how much more comfortable and peaceful she became. What truly amazed me was the level of compassion and support they provided immediately after I contacted them. Every aspect of her care was addressed — from caregivers, nurses, doctors, and home evaluations, to making sure I, as her caregiver and husband, was managing emotionally and physically as well. I even received calls over weekends just to check on us and ask if we needed anything. Today, my wife is completely bedbound due to the aggressive progression of this disease, yet Bridges Hospice has only stepped up their care even more. Caregivers visit daily to ensure she is safe, clean, and comfortable. Nurses carefully monitor her medications as her condition changes and make certain she is never in pain. Their attention to detail, compassion, and constant follow-up have absolutely blown me away. I had recommended Bridges Hospice to friends in the past, and every single person told me, “No one compares to Bridges — they are truly the best.” Now, after personally experiencing their care, I understand exactly what they meant. There are simply no words to describe the heartbreak of caring for your best friend, the love of your life, the mother of your children, and your true-life partner as they slowly slip away from this terrible disease. It has been the most difficult and painful experience of my life. But having Bridges Hospice by my side throughout this battle has brought me comfort and peace knowing my wife is receiving the best care possible during the little time she has left on this earth. I am 65 years old, and throughout my life I have met countless people and dealt with many companies and organizations. Very few leave a lasting impact on your heart. Bridges Hospice and their staff are among those rare people I will never forget. They are truly angels on earth. God bless every single one of them. — Javid
