We used Beacon of Hope for my husband. They are terrific! Bree was his CNA, they got along great. She was professional and took great care of him. He looked forward to seeing her every week. Allie was one of his nurses. She was great! She always took time to answer our questions, she took her time with us and never appeared to be in a hurry. He looked forward to Thursdays to see her. When he had to make our last call Allie was here with us and never rushed us to say our good byes or anything. She stayed until the coroner left with my husband. She showed great compassion to us. Amanda was another nurse we had she was also great! She always had a smile and a kind word. She took great care of us and could always joke around with my husband. Ellen was a CNA that came a couple of times, she was very professional and we loved her too. All of these ladies have great heart. I'm sorry our time with them has ended but they are the best. Anytime I had questions and called Beacon of Hope no matter who I talked to they would answer my questions and make me feel better. If anyone needs hospice I highly recommend Beacon of Hope. Thank you for being here when we needed you.

We utilized Beacon of Hope Hospice for my mother during a very difficult time. After a hospital referral for home health that was never followed up on, no one had truly sat down with us to have an honest conversation about her prognosis. When we first mentioned hospice, my father said, “She isn’t dying.” But when asked what he needed most, he admitted, “I can’t do this on my own anymore. It’s too much for me to handle.” Since my mother’s passing, my father has said, “I wouldn’t have been able to do it without hospice. I didn’t realize the level of support it provides. Everyone should know about what you do.” Thank you to our nurse, social worker, and chaplain for the compassionate care and support that carried our family through such a tender time.

Beacon of Hope Hospice is a great place for families to turn to in a time of need! Jennifer Patrick is one of the most caring nurses I have encountered! She goes above and beyond for her patients and their families. She treats the patients like she would her very own loved one. She is so caring, respectful, loving and hardworking. I would recommend her and Beacon of Hope to anyone I know that was looking!

Beacon of hope is an outstanding hospice service. They are extremely tentative and empathetic. Jennifer Patrick is an absolute god send to this company and everyone whom she cares for. She not only tends to her patients but she goes above and beyond to do anything and everything she can for them even if it means bringing them chocolate and being a listening ear. In my time of working with her, I have always heard residents asking for her by name and thankful that she's their CNA. She is a compassionate person and it shows in everything she does. I would recommend this company 100%.
