Conemaugh Regional Hospice

Avoid Conemaugh Regional Hospice. Rather, I highly endorse Laurel Highlands Hospice Care. Laurel Highlands was receptive and responsive to my mother's needs near end of life. My mother's hospice care was terminated prior to my mother's death by Conemaugh Regional Hospice as they requested a meeting; however, my mother (which we later found out had terminal agitation) was screaming out for 2 weeks, 24 hours a day. Likewise, Conemaugh prescribed Abilify, among the other non-effective drugs, which if they had noticed in her medical records, she was allergic to. We immediately went with Laurel Highlands, and they were spot on with identifying her medical needs and provided her with dignity and compassion. I highly endorse Laurel Highlands Hospice! Please note that the Director of Conemaugh Regional Hospice communicated to my sister, over the phone, that there were more pressing phone calls when we were desperately attempting to manage my mother's care. The Director of Conemaugh Regional Hospice attempt to have a conference was not a solution. The two-week period of "trying different meds" and not addressing terminal agitation, led to a mutual split. Only after we contacted Laurel Highlands Hospice, did my family realize that our mother's needs were finally met. Laurel Highlands Hospice is professional, responsive, and resourceful.

Called to set something up for my brother the week AFTER he passed away
