Hospice Quinte

I reached out to Quinte Hospice and arranged for their coordinator to come out to my home. He was supposed to call me the following Monday with a time that he would be out. He did not call and he never showed up. The following day I contacted him, making it clear that I was not pleased that he had not even called to say he was not coming. He offered to come the following day but I declined. He then became very rude and reduced me to tears.

It is hard to put into words how thankful I am for the Staff and Volunteers at Hospice Quinte. I am not sure what is wrong with or hospitals but I left the hospital everyday feeling I let my mother down. Her stay was nothing short of horrible. I received a call asking if I wanted to move my mother to Hospice Quinte, I immediately said yes... The facility is unbelievable, they think of the patients and the families. The rooms are large, the beds are top of the line. When I arrived there was a volunteer sitting with my mother. The staff check in on her all the time, they shampoo her hair, new gowns everyday, my mother would smile when a staff member came in, I have to believe she felt someone cared. When my mother passed, I have to believe she died with dignity, like a human being! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the staff and volunteers at Hospice Quinte, you are a special group of people that the world can use more of!

The communities of Hastings and Prince Edward have truly been blessed by the opening of this facility though the true magnificence of Quinte Hospice is not about the bricks and mortar. What truly differentiates QH is their amazingly compassionate, skilled and committed team of professionals. When my mother's POA barred me from being bedside with my mother at the hospital and hospice, QH's head nurse helped me surround my mother with items and symbols of love I wished for her at her time of death.

The compassion and dedication of all the staff made the end of my husband's journey as painless and dignified as possible. They were also a great support to myself and my family. I can not say enough possible things about this experience. I would definitely recommend Hospice Quinten for anyone facing the end of life for their loved ones. Than k you so much.
