We send many patients home from the hospital here with home hospice, but never see what that entails. It was amazing to me the amount of support and resources the hospice agency provides to these patients and their families. That’s one thing I truly appreciated with my visits – it’s not just about the patient, but the family as well – how they’re doing, what support they need, etc. I never realized how much could be done outside of an inpatient setting and Good Shepherd seems to do it so well.”
