Hoffmann Hospice

I've used their services 2x now. Once for my dad (2010) and recently for my husband (2018). When we knew my husband was terminal, it wasn't even a question who we'd call we both said Hoffman. the nurse with my dad was amazing hands down amazing. With my husband, Angela his nurse was truly a blessing to all of us. She was amazing with our 5 kids, with me and my husband. He could be stubborn at times. But something about her, he would listen to what ever she said. The day before he passed he even thanked her and hugged her. She is an angel! Thank you Hoffman!

Hoffman Hospice Home is amazing. The death of my husband was very much unexpected, and we were going through all the things leading up to it during the virus restrictions. When a series of medical mistakes in rapid succession had me facing that Steve was at end of life they provided a caring and nurturing environment for his last few days. There were no rules for visiting, and along with the efforts they made to ensure Steve was able to pass in comfort and in peace the staff was also tremendously supportive and wonderful with myself and the rest of our family. Because of the timing we weren't able to use their in-home services, but based on the experience I had with Hoffman Hospice Home on Buena Vista I can promise they'll do everything they can to help both you and your loved one in any way they can.

I used Hoffman hospice when my father was in his last months of life. Colleen was one of his nurses and she absolutely did a wonderful job. He smiled when she came and her care and compassion was above anything I expected. We were called when he reached a critical point and were told he had reached his final hours. I cannot compliment enough the care he received. Most helpful compassionate people in this world.

Dying at home is not all it's cracked up to be. I am a Nurse. We presently are using Hoffman for my dying Father who is at home in a small town in California. Hoffman comes to shower my Father and take his vitals, so please take heed. They are not going to stay there with your family member. You are. Read their book; (that I still have not had time to read.) ..because you will need a person who is willing to stay with your dying family member 24/7. And if your whole family is not willing or able to work out shifts; take vacations at your Father's house, helping; (instead of going on lavish vacations) then Hoffman is not going to work for you. You will have to administer the medications. It sounded easy enough in the beginning, and I thought I could help, but I live 2 hrs away and I am not well myself. I am depressed and I cannot sleep. I am grieving. I am exhausted. My other two sisters have left it to me and my two disabled brothers to care for our dying Father. It is going to take money if you need help in the home and Long Term Facilities cost too. Please if you are the patient, do not do this to your family. Die in the hospital. Do not sign away your insurance. Your family has to be functional; be willing to share in the load, unlike mine, who are completely selfish and dysfunctional. I cannot recommend this way of dying.

After 4 months of fighting Cancer my dad was ready to stop being in pain. When i called for information they were able to meet us at home the very next day. They were so compassionate and very informative. They answered all our questions, let us cry to them about our struggles, and didn’t pressure us for a decision just let us know they were there for us when we were ready. The next day my dad was ready to go to hospice and they got him checked in. Watching some one you love be in that much pain is hard and so scary. All the staff from the nurses to the clerks were all so gracious and sensitive to the situation. Our nurse Chris & Anna who spent the most time with my dad were very helpful with answering all our what if’s and helping us cope with what was happening. After a week on hospice my dad passed away but through out it all they did absolutely everything they could to keep him and us his family as comfortable as possible. They showed so much love and compassion for us. To these amazing souls this is not just a job. They have a gift. I thought when i walked out of their facility that night that was it. Well boy was I wrong. In the past two weeks since my dad has passed they have continued to show our family so much support. We have received follow up calls, letters, and hand written cards checking on us to make sure we are all ok and if we need grief support they are their for us. The level of care and attention to detail wrapped in love in compassion is something we will never forget. Thank you Hoffman Hospice for making our burden lighter, we appreciate you so much!!!!
