Heartland Hospice

The angels from Heartland Hospice are truly a godsend. My dad (age 95) became very ill last year and was on his deathbed when they came into our lives. From the moment they appeared, it was as though a wave of love entered my home. They were there every day in one form or another (either a nurse or a counselor or a chaplin or a volunteer came until he passed away two weeks later). Without their help my mother and I could never have kept my dad at home — so comfortable, so safe, so peaceful. Just a wonderful group of people. I will forever be grateful to them and their loving kindness and incredible skill. Thank you with all my heart.

My family recently used Heartland to take care of my uncle during the last two months of his life. We had nothing but great experiences with this organization. The nurses were top notch, visiting several times a week and anticipating his needs. The best was a home health aid, Cecelia, who managed to get my uncle to take a shower three times a week. Prior to Heartland, we were lucky to get him to shower once every two weeks. It vasty improved the quality of his life. We also really loved Cara, a nurse that worked with him in his final weeks. She was sweet and knew the right things to say to get him to smile.
My uncle passed a month ago and today, Heartland held a tree planting and memorial service for those who have died. The service was done with a great deal of kindness and help our family gain closure.
Heartland not only made my uncle comfortable in his final months, but made life easier for our entire family. Although I hope to never need to services of a hospice again, if my family did, I would definitely call Heartland.
