Patient & Family Hospice Testimonials

VITAS Healthcare made one of the hardest experiences of my life feel supportive, gentle and deeply human. Nagal and the entire nursing team were truly amazing through every step of my sister's hospice journey. Their compassion, presence and professionalism went far beyond medical care - they held space for me and my family with such kindness and respect.

Because of them, we were able to create a beautiful, peaceful transition for my sister, surrounded by love and dignity. I will forever be grateful for the way they showed up for us during such a vulnerable time.

I am so inspired by the work they do and the care they give that I plan on volunteering with hospice this summer. VITAS Healthcare is a remarkable organization, and their team makes a profound difference in the lives of patients and families.

My sister, Patricia L., is a memory care resident at Grand Villa in Palm Coast, FL. Patti has received excellent from all of the nurses, and I am very grateful.

Yesterday, while visiting Patti, I had the most amazing experience. Your chaplain, Reverend Ean, stopped by to see how Patti was doing. He spent a great deal of time listening to my stories of memories I had with Patti.

He turned out to be just what I needed to feel how special the times are that I am with my sister! He is a special man!

Just want you all to know that VITAS not only helps the patients but also helps the family members! 非常感謝！

Chaplain Crawford was wonderful and heaven-sent, just like the other members of the VITAS team. They are a soothing balm to a wounded spirit.

My mom was in the care of a great team consisting of HHA Rachelle, Nurse Fanese, Dr. N., Chaplain Milla, social worker Jessica, and others. HHA Rachelle was a bright ray of sunshine. Nurse Fanese and Dr. N. cared for her as if she would live forever. They visited for more than a year and held our hands through her passing.

I'm grateful that my negative perception of hospice was laid to rest by this team. May God bless them richly.

Absolutely incredible company! I cannot say enough GREAT things about VITAS and their care team.

Within a few hours of reaching out to them for help with our mom, who was in late-stage dementia and bladder cancer, they sent a team out for assessment.

Within 24 hours, they had brought in all the medical equipment needed and set up regular nurse visits, personal needs care, counseling and pastoral care for the family. We lost our mom in October 2025, but VITAS continues to support and reach out to our family with much love and support.

We will be forever grateful for the professionalism and care that guided and taught us how to care for our mom. VITAS allowed her last months, weeks and days to be spent with love and dignity, surrounded by family and such a caring group of caregivers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, VITAS!

Prior to admission, I was very apprehensive about my 98-year-old mother-in-law going to the Holme Avenue inpatient facility.

My fears were groundless. She was there for five days. 對我母親的照顧無微不至。 I was and am incredibly grateful. It removed so much stress to see a woman I loved and knew for 51 years given the best possible care. I am grateful to the doctor, the priest who prayed with us and gave her the last rites, the nurses and aides. VITAS offered volunteers for grief counseling if desired.

Special shout-out to Dolores, an excellent nurse. Everything about it was set up in a way that provided maximum comfort to my relative and our family.
