The Nathan Adelson Hospice

Dear Staff at the Nathan Adelson Hospice,\r Many people do not like talking about this everyday occurrance, which happens to all of us. Yes, I am talking about death. We are all destined to die which is just part of life. Why not make it as comfortable as you possibly can for a loved one. That is exactly what Nathan Adelson Hospice has done for my mom. The staff at Nathan Adelson Hospice showed so much love, care, dignity and respect towards my mom, just as though she was part of their own family. The staff even cried when they found out she died on my birthday, which was on 1 January 1213. \r The care and love the staff have for people who need comfort is a blessing and a gift from God, and their gift really shines through. Thank You all. Dennis more

I had to take my wife to Nathan Adelson because of here pain she was having due to cancer. I had head so many good things about this facility; I was convinced that it would be good place for here to receive effective pain management treated with dignity. Upon my first visit after spending a good portion of the night with her. My wife was very upset; I ask what was the matter. She said that the doctor and staff was very mean to here. Knowing her, I know that she was of a good mind. After going through all the pain of her Cancer needless to say I was very upset. I went and spoke to the head RN and complained. Two day later she passed away. She was not treated with dignity or respect. wail at this facility. I am so sorry I took here there. more

Aloha, Kealoha and I are full time providers for my father 24-7, we have been blessed having this opportunity to care for him...Dr. Toppo inquired about fathers care while in the hospital (outside) being that he is a heart patient, his body is too weak. He was having mini strokes with too much activity.(PT) . ..Seeing how worn out we were and that dads health was declining, Dr. Toppo asked ""What is our Goal for Dad?"" replied that he remain comfortable. The transferring from bed to wheel chair to automobile was a great strain for all 3 of us. Hospice has come in since and so lovingly has cared for father everyday. It is heartwarming to see others care for father...I wish I could do more for those caring for him....the nurses after hours counciling me and making me comfortable in decisions needing to be made. . . .remarkable. . . .I salute, Dr. Toppo, CNA's, RN's Social Workers, and TEAM HOSPICE....You helped in ways that cannot be all mentioned...The program at Swenson is another added treat for Kealoha and I, we can go see a brother that has been diagnosed with Cancer and not be too concerned about fathers care. .Thank you!

I will always remember the kindness and the care that was given to both my husband and I. My husband lived his last week of life at adelson hospice, and without even knowing the facility i chose adelson. its a decision i will never regret.To know that you will someday lose the love of your life is not easy, and i am so grateful for everthing the nurses did for him, me and my family .I never wanted hospice as an option but sometimes we forget about the ones who are sick and only think of own selfish reasons. my husband was painfree. I would not of had it any other way. Thank You So Much.\r Stephanie Franco\r patient Kenneth Mark Franco more
