Stories of Care

Thanks for all you do

My husband was admitted to Palliative Care about 2 years prior to going from Palliative Care to Hospice. He was in Hospice care for several weeks, and the entire staff was incredible with him, and with me. I cannot even express how much that each of them helped him, and helped me in the process. He was treated with love and respect, and so was I.

His last few days at home, the 24 hour line was responsive and medications were sent out immediately to help with the issues.

Special thanks to his nurse for realizing that it was time to move him to NorthCare Hospice House to make him comfortable and to be able to handle him with special care and dignity for his last 5 days.

The staffs from Palliative Care, Home Hospice, and NorthCare were all first class and amazing. Thanks so very much for his care, and for the support for me.

Earth Angels Really Do Exist!!!

My mother just recently passed away on July 14, 2025. She was in the care of KC Hospice. The care and compassion my mother received was absolutely OUTSTANDING. Stephanie-Manager, Sherry-Nurse (whom my mother LOVED), Lisa-Social Worker, Julie-Night Nurse, Richard-Weekend Nurse and Teresa-CNA, were ALL OUTSTANDING! They were ALL “Earth Angels” to not only my mother, but to myself, as well. Their Love, Compassion, Professionalism and Expertise were much appreciated and will NEVER be forgotten. A heartfelt “THANK YOU” to them all.
From Virginia Alder, daughter and Caregiver to Jean Ingram.

Thanks for your care
