St Jude Hospice - Pasadena

Andrew13

St. Jude Hospice was a good thing. They did all the medical stuff. They brought out oxygen; they talked to my mom. They realized how bad it was, and within a week, she was in a hospice care house, and then days later, she passed. She was 94, so she had a long life. It was through St. Jude Hospital. The hospice part of it is all paid for by social security. It's not overly expensive, but $140 a day will add up. They told me she was a grade 5, so she took 24-hour care. They had to actually sit in the room with her and make sure she didn't climb out of bed. Her mind was telling her to get moving, and she wouldn't stay lying down for the first 3 or 4 days. It was a 3-bedroom house that had been redesigned. In the center was a giant bathroom. They basically could only hold 4 or 5 people. It was the closest one to the house. I would recommend it to somebody who lived near St. Jude, so if you're in north Orange County, it's the only place to go. They were very perfect. They handled it very well because they knew I knew nothing. My sister and my wife were emotional; I started getting emotional. They kept us going.
