We have recently transitioned my grandmother to hospice care and have been so impressed with Gentiva. They have advocated for her care at her nursing facility, assisted with positioning and comfort care needs, and maintained great communication with our family. The office staff are very helpful and just a phone call away. I want to shout out Cami, caregiver, and Alyssa, RN, who go above and beyond in providing care for my grandmother. We are so grateful for all the support from the Gentiva team!

If I could give a10 I would. The care they give for their patients is exceptional. Thank you to everyone that treats Verna and cares for her like ones of their own family member. She is a tough cookie sometimes but they all smile and do the best. Rachel, Michelle, Kesha, Tim, Erin and anyone else that has stopped in that I missed. Great job thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

My father-in-law received exceptional care. He was blessed by the best in his final days. Everyone showed such a genuine compassion towards not only him, but our whole family. We are truly grateful. Thank you for caring so much. ❤️
