"I served as guardian of two disabled brothers, both of whom suffered and died from chronic renal disease in different facilities within 3 months of each other in 2010. I simply cannot say enough good things about Jo, the attendants, and the head nurse of this Council Bluffs, Iowa AseraCare organization. My one brother was in a facility that severely lacked in care and compassion as a hospice. AseraCare director and the head nurse called a meeting of the facility's nurses to remind them of their duties and the reason they were suppose to be trained and compassionate caregivers and stayed with my brother to ensure his good care. As a result, my brother passed away in a clean and serene environment. THANK YOU! "

"EveryStep Hospice is just awesome. They helped my mother with her breathing, her meds, her daily-type stuff like washing her hair, and all that. We love them. They were very caring, knowledgeable, and responsible. They care so much, and they help us so much. We were giving her so many choices, and it confused her, and their head nurse told me how her choices could confuse her, and she's so right. So that was excellent advice. I haven't seen the staff in person, but they communicate well -- mostly it's phone calls -- and I can't think of anything they can do to improve. I can't think of anything else that they can do to improve; they're just excellent with everything. Once a week we get an update, and they're just wonderful."

"They were very gentle and very polite with my husband. I would very much recommend Methodist Home Health and Hospice. When I needed them, I could call them; they were always available. "

"My mother transferred from a facility in Omaha to Council Bluffs, and was also transferred to a different hospice- St Croix Hospice as well. Amazing people who bent over backwards to make the transition as smooth as possible. From the first day with the admission process, to current care for my mother, it has been excellent and more than I could have asked for. They have coordinated her care with Prairie Gate staff and everyone has made my mom's final days, filled with love, joy and care. Their communication has been consistent, thorough and clear.I give them the highest ratings!"

"My mother went right from the hospital to Hospice House - Josie Harper Residence. They were very caring and very accommodating. They had TV and a large area where you could come and eat with family. Her room was large and comfortable. The nurses took care of her. The #1 priority was to help her and make her comfortable and they did that. They were very good and loving. They did everything I would have hoped for my mom."

"My mother is now at home with me doing hospice care from Gentiva. I've only had them for three days, but so far they are excellent. "
