    My husband was there. I am very grateful for their help. There was only some details that always bothered me. One of those, was that they didn't bathe my husband in the shower as he needed at least twice a week. Another detail was that after breakfast they left my husband sitting in his wheelchair for up to 10 hours in the hallway in front of the nurses station. Sometimes my husband was wet due to lack of diaper change, and his feet very swollen due to the position. I notified the facility staff several times but they didn't pay attention to me. Everything else was very good.

    To say our family is highly disappointed is the understatement of the century. Minus 2 nurses the staff is unprofessional and the Dr simply didn't care how sick our loved one was. During one bad visit where our loved one was very sick the Dr had the nerve to ask if the patient was full code before deciding treatment. How cruel do you have to be the see your patient suffering and do absolutely NOTHING to help them blows our minds. The 1st nurse was unkind and uncaring, not only did she bot care she went through things that she should not have. There where promises made to help with pain and other needs and NONE were met. The out of the clear blue sky things were changed and the side effects were reported and no one cared. Hospice is about best quality of life, comfort care and pain support, NONE of these were met. Not only we heartbroken we are absolutely and utterly disappointed in THIS company

    I am a past client of Vitas Hospice. My husband died on service in May 2022.. They were all very helpful and empathetic to the course of his illness. They helped him to be comfortable and to be at peace in his last hours which really helps a family who cannot control the ultimate end result. I am thankful for the quiet lovely room he had and the privacy we had to be with him.. I am thankful for the chaplains to pray with us and him at his bedside and all the great nursing care, social workers, RT, the bath aids we had at home and the wonderful staff delivering and picking up the needed equipment.. The team manager and social worker helped with whatever they could for his comfort. The doctor worked with our doctor for his comfort and support. For more we could not ask. I did not want him to leave. We have no control on losing our loved ones. Vitas helped make it some better and keeping him comfortable was a goal that they also helped us achieve.. I am thankful!!!

    In our family, over a 24 year period we've utilized VITAS 5 times. A little over a year ago it was for both our precious parents. All our team members, in San Antonio & San Marcos, deserve the highest amount of respect for the dignity they helped us give them, even amid covid (I personally REFUSE to capitalize that word!šŸ˜ ) thank you very much again for continuing support, Hoagland Family

    It is so cold in here. My father is dying. He is always cold. Iā€™m sure he would like some heat. But oh well. They guess itā€™s broken. Tv doesnā€™t work. The family room has not been cleaned well . Well never. Leg on table is broken. I could go on and on. To tired . Day nurses not nice.

    The hospice overnight nurse almost killed my mom. She overdosed her morphine and tramadol. She also took about 140mg of morphine. I have filed a complaint with the licensing board. Luckily my brother is a doctor and he has filed. If you want your loved one alive do not use vitas. The nursing staff is highly negligent.

    ā€œI made comments before but, I can't say enough about this company. I lost my brother (larry galligher) after a brief battle with leukemia. Two and a half months after being diagnoised he passed. This hit my family hard but, his nurse Chris was so kind and helpful to us. He called to see how we were doing and if we needed anything every other day.. They told me often "we are a phone call away 24/7 dont hesitate to call us. When my brother passed we didn't have to do anything Ann came and made all calls. This company is simply wonderful. Chris and others from vitas still call to check on us. I can't put into words how much I appreciate them. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you, Vitasā€

    VITAS Healthcare was the first hospice Mother was under, and they were excellent and went above and beyond what was needed. They brought their pedicure set and because they couldn't do much for her, they would file her nails, put her nail polish on, give her a massage, and do other things to make a person feel good. They warmed up her towels and blankets and washed her off. They followed her when she went to the assisted living for a several months. We were very happy with their care.

    Provider Response

    Dear Taletha, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with VITAS in San Antonio. I shared your feedback with the local management team and they greatly appreciate it. Sincerely, Avni Parekh

    I will try to put into words what Vitas Innovative Hospice Care with its outstanding team of workers that were assigned to my husband, William A. Lucas, meant to him and to us as a family. The words will, however, be very inadequate to express our gratitude for the outstanding service for my husband. Yours was not just a service but a ministry. Thank you Dr. Moskowicz for your care. Thank you Joan!!! What a beautiful, caring service you render. It is obvious your heart is in your work. The chaplain, Virginia, as well exhibited deep love and care. Thank you! Alma radiated the same care, love, and concern that depicted the entire team. There were others who helped from time to time. Many, many thanks from grateful hearts.

    Provider Response

    Dear Bettie, I'm sorry for the loss of your husband, please accept my condolences. My name is Avni Parekh and I read all the reviews posted about VITAS. I have shared your review with the program/team that cared for your husband, as well as our executive management team. Your words of gratitude mean much more to our teams than you may know. I also agree with you, the care we provide is definitely more than a service: It's a calling to serve others and give back to the community. Thank you for giving VITAS the opportunity to provide care to William, as well as you and your family. Sincerely, Avni Parekh

    I had my mom with VITAS for a week before she passed away. I just want to thank the angles that took care of mom. They were too many to name. You guys gave me and my daughters so much help taking care of my mom that we couldnt have done it without you. God bless you.

    I interviewed this provider

    The day we called VITAS, they were very responsive and got a hospital bed and materials out here right away. It went downhill over the next few days. The day my husband passed away, I tried to call and get a nurse out here. It took them 4 1/2 hours for a nurse to finally get here and my husband had already passed away. They failed me in my greatest hour of need. One other time I called in to ask a question and that time it took 4 hrs for them to return my call.
