"We are past clients. My mother had stage 4 lung cancer that metastasized to her brain. WE had a very brief stay with Hospice once we left the hospital. They were so very kind, shared the harsh realities, answered the questions we feared the responses and they did so with grace and compassion. They put us in control and assisted with the shift from Doctor care to Home care. They empowered us to provide the necessary drug interventions for comfort care and they answered every phone call no matter the time of day or night. They hugged us, they cried with us and in the end they took care of the small details. We were organized with lists, and had made many phone calls heading thier advice. We were prepared as much as humanly possible. They did not push but gently nudged when they sensed our uncertainty and we sought clarity. I am forever grateful. It is a dance and one that my mother was very unsure of, but Hospice was there for the caretakers in the end and my mother knew this was the support we needed to help her pass with dignity. Blessings to those of you have chosen this profession. "

"My mom is in Faith Hospice at Trillium Woods. It's been an amazing place. She loves it there. The care is phenomenal. She moved in a couple of weeks ago. They're amazing people, they're very loving and caring. My mother can eat, and she loves the food. The facility is very clean, very homey, it is a religious facility, but it's not over, it's not gaudy, full of crosses and all that stuff, that you can tell it is a very caring, religious community. It's a very small hospice home. The food is very good, not hospital rated, it's like home-cooked meal-like food, and she can order anything that you can imagine. There are 20 residents there and it's strictly for hospice."

"When my Dad's health deteriorated to the point that hospice was an option, my mother and I met with representatives from Kindred Hospice. Their services were explained and my mom decided to use their services. My Dad was quickly declining however we were determined to keep him at home if possible. After an assessment to confirm he was eligible, services quickly started in the form of nurse visits and caregiver visits twice a week each, as well as on-call services available 24/7 and a social worker. The care provided was invaluable and provided my mom with in-home assurances that my dad was receiving the best care possible. Magda (caregiver) and Gloria (nurse) treated my parents with respect and helped my dad be as comfortable as possible. When my father fell during the night the on-call nurse arrived quickly, confirmed there were no broken bones, and had my dad settled back into bed with medication to help him feel better in no time. It was all much less invasive than a trip to the hospital would have been. When my dad passed away (peacefully in his sleep), the on call nurse arrived to make final arrangements. Getting him moved to the nursing home was handled professionally and kindly in a way that helped my mom at a very difficult time. I highly recommend Kindred and truly appreciate all they did to help my parents in a difficult situation. My dad was able to peacefully pass away at home and my mom knew that all had been done to ease his transition."

"My husband is on home hospice and has a small long term care policy. It was overwhelming to navigate even the understanding of how to use it and get the care he needed along side our hospice team. They were so patient with me on the phone and then came to our house to meet us and talk about our needs. They matched us with Dan who couldn't have been more perfect. They not only sent a person who gave me the comfort to be able to run to the grocery store but now Interem will take care of invoices and reimbursement from the insurance company. What a comfort and relief! So happy I stumbled upon them with no prior knowledge or experience."

"My family used hospice for my sister last year. My uncle had used Hospice of Michigan to help take care of my grandmother a few years ago. We are going to their walk around Reed's Lake this spring to remember them both. "
