My family was blessed to have Hospice of Garrett County care for my Pap, Granny, and uncles during their transition. Their staff are truly angels on Earth. Death is the most natural part of life, hospice helps make that transition with love in every step, giving holistic care and making sure suffering is minimized. They are with their patients the whole way, giving dignity and comfort. They truly care, and support the whole family. I will forever be grateful for this organization. If you have a loved one that is close to moving on, please don’t hesitate to reach out to them. It is hard to accept that your loved one may need hospice, but it will likely be the best thing you could do for them. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers. May God bless you ❤️

The staff did a wonderful job with my grandfather! From coming to 3 days a week to 5 during his final days. They gave all things needed such as a bed, bedding, diapers, and wipes. They prepare you for what is to come and are there to the end and after! They do monthly mailing or monthly phone calls for 13 months. The only issue is the scheduling for the cna. There isn’t a set schedule or time so you’re expecting them at a certain time and their schedules get switched around but no fault to the cna. Megan was truly amazing during the final days and after passing.

This place is a Godsend! They have been there for a few of my family members passing and they couldn’t have been better. They walk you through everything and they are there when it’s over too. They taught us so much and were so kind. You definitely have to get the person you are comfortable and click with but I couldn’t recommend this place more.

I am highly disappointed with my husbands hospice care. He shouldn’t suffer in pain during his last days. His pain is first priority however they are neglecting his pain. I am in process to revoke his parents as POA. I should be able to move him back home with us. My husband had hospice a month ago however was disappointed and release hospice to get better care at hospital and than ended back on hospice care. I wish there was more options that could handle his medical condition properly and give him much needed comfort care. He hasn’t even been sponge bath and smells. This is unacceptable.
