Vantage Hospice

Douglas

We have hospice care at the house through Vantage Hospice for my wife. It's been excellent so far. I have an aide that comes three times a week to give her a bath, wash her hair, change her, and put clean linens on the bed. We have a nurse that comes twice a week and we have someone who follows up to check to see how everything is going. They provide us with all the supplies and we've been very satisfied with the people and the results. They provide us with all the equipment. She has to be fed by a tube in her stomach, and they provide us with all the supplies for the equipment and they provide us all the food that's necessary to feed her. They provide us with gauze pads, syringes, diapers, pads for the bed, and everything that we need to take care of her. They are very good. We're very satisfied with what they do to take care of her and what they tell us. We don't get any billing. Medicare covers everything. The caseworker at the hospital made all the arrangements with Vantage to get her transferred from the hospital to our home, and they delivered all the equipment including a bed, and set everything up for us so that it would be ready when she came home.
