They do a wonderful j9b with my mother. And my mother isnt easy to deal with. I fully appreciate the GENEROSITY of the nurses in terms of empathy and respect. I was told Mayo got rid of hospice and thats where St. Croix had opportunity to open its doors and I chose them because of their small size, cut out from a well known health care provider. I really like these guys. The focus is on patients. Not profits. They actually denied my mom at first which would probably anger others in my position, but it was the second opinion that they honored that proved to me that they were rational and reasonable people to deal with. I cant recommend this company enough. Thank you St. Croix Hospice!!

They were absolutely amazing to my Dad and our family. They went above and beyond to help us through everything. They keep in touch 24 hours a day from the start to the end. Their Chaplain was the absolute best!!!!!!! So extremely grateful for them! Definitely recommend them!

My Dad was on hospice started great met some nice people ,then thinks went terrible they put him on medications ,that got him really sick ,got him off luckly then they tried doing it again finally got new hospice and they were alot better,you have no say ,be careful with these guys alot of young nurses need more training, unfortunately I would never go down this road again look elsewhere, no options with these guys bad upper management, if you have a vet look into there programs ,and do it early there is alot of programs, good luck out there ,but keep looking
