My father-in-law received exceptional care. He was blessed by the best in his final days. Everyone showed such a genuine compassion towards not only him, but our whole family. We are truly grateful. Thank you for caring so much. ❤️

Words cannot adequately convey the warmth and professionalism exuded by every single member of the Gentiva team. I felt lost and overwhelmed trying to help my mom. From the initial phone call, I was met with care, concern, and support. This beautiful attitude was mirrored throughout the process. The nurse who did the intake was compassionate, easy to talk to, and did not shy away when my mom needed some immediate care. She could have waited for someone else to assist mom, but she was compassion in action. The chaplain was tender, listened to mom, and absolutely had the ability to meet her where she was. There was no pressure, just attention and acceptance for the human being in front of her. Another nurse came and helped make arrangements for my mom to return to her assisted living facility. It was a seamless experience. Again, she listened to my mom, was friendly, kind, and organized. The aid came to visit my mom. She was sociable, put my mom at ease, and spent time learning about the things that were important to her. Gentiva staff, in my opinion, treat their clients as they would their own parent. I am in awe of the seamless experience and the gift of being able to catch my breath. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would. Thank you, Gentiva staff for your sacred service.

Gentiva hospice is great! All the people that come to the Winds are wonderful. They are kind and compassionate and we can always count on them. Misty, Cami, Seth, and Tim greet not just their patients but all the residents here when they come. They always have smiles on their faces and are quick to help

The Gentiva team come to visit the Personal Care home where I work. I can’t say enough about the entire team. They are kind, compassionate, and attentive. Denise, Michelle, Stacey, Tim, and Sydney are all top notch. Love the communication they provide to the facility about the patients. Thank you all. Job well done.

I cannot thank the hospice team enough for the care and compassion they show every day during such a difficult times. The nurse (Michelle), aide (Denise) and staff (Sydney, Stacey, and Tim) treats our loved ones with dignity and respect while also supporting families and staff in long term care facilities every step of the way. Their kindness, professionalism, and gentle presence brings comfort and peace to everyone. We are deeply grateful for everything they do and can not thank them enough. I recommend them to everyone that is seeking end-of-life care.
