Providence Hospice and Palliative Care

I am a current client of this provider

I am my 89-year-old father's 24/7 at-home caregiver (daughter). Since his dementia took away his motor skills three months ago, he is totally bed-ridden, incontinent, and, of course, totally dependent.

Providence Hospice has been there for us ever since the first "Get Acquainted" visit when he came home from the hospital. My Hospice RN visits every week; she listens and works with me to provide the best care for him that I can (her listening skills are wonderful). My Hospice CNA comes twice a week and bathes him; we look forward to her cheerfulness and her skill. My Hospice Volunteer comes once a week for four hours and gives me a needed break; she's so good with my father. My Hospice Social Worker comes every two weeks, and it's a time when she listens to me about me. Her listening and caring skills are wonderful.

Everyone I have met associated with Portland Hospice (even those I've contacted on the phone with the hotline) and kind, caring, and helpful.

Portland Hospice is a life-line and a tremendous help for those of us who must be at-home 24/7 caregivers. This is a difficult job when it is as intense as the one I'm doing. All the help I get is really appreciated.
