Nurses Amber and Sam of Sanford Home Care visited me on April 17, 2023, to assess the level of home care I'd need after hip surgery a week earlier. They were knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I highly recommend Sanford Home Care and look forward to receiving more help from Sanford Home Care as I return to normal activity. (Edited to correct a typo in Sam's name.)

It is very sad that I have to give hospice a sad review but they did a very poor job and lack of care for my mom is 2018. I accidentally posted this to the wrong site 4 years ago and it was meant for Sanford Hospice. My mom was on hospice several months and at the end the nurse was horrible and so were the hospice services. There's way more to the story but all I can say is I can't recommend and I highly discourage anyone from using sanford hospice in Bismarck ND.
