Testimonials
I couldn’t have done this without hospice assistance. Our nurse was extremely helpful and very caring. The chaplain went out of her way to help my mother and my family. She did an outstanding job, and is a true servant of God. Hospice, as a group, made my job easier. They educated me on what would be, which relieved me of my unknown fears. I highly recommend that all those in need contact hospice, and I campaign for people to donate and contribute to this wonderful organization.
The level of care was unbelievable. The nurses and aides were angels, the volunteers were lifesavers. We could not have gotten through this without them. We will be forever grateful.
Everyone involved was a great help and support to me, assisting me in understanding my husband’s situation better, and enabling me to care for him in his last days. I can’t thank you all enough for that. You gave me the comfort and peace to accept the situation also. May God bless hospice care and all of you who contributed. For that I will always be grateful. The ‘Crossing the Creek’ booklets that you share with families are the best for anyone at a time like this.
My husband died in November, after being released from a rehabilitation center for just a few days. During my husband’s time home, hospice came and helped me with his medications and his care. The nurse was wonderful! When my husband died, your social worker and nurse were both at my home. Their compassion and kindness helped me get through the initial shock. I can’t thank them enough. Hospice is an amazing support system that touches everyone who is dealing with a terminal illness. Thank yo… Read more
I want to thank all the nurses, both day and evening shifts. Their commitment to patients and families is amazing! I continue to keep them in my prayers.
Hospice gave me more time to spend with my mother in her last weeks here on earth. Also, through my hospice experience I met so many wonderful people who I will always remember. I want to say “Thank you,” to everyone at Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice. You helped my mom, and you also helped me.
The team was so friendly, helpful, understanding and so very soothing. They made us feel like we mattered and that they were 100% there for us. I am so blessed to have had this team by my side as my family member passed on. I definitely couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you all. –Local Hospice Family

Thank you very much for the beautiful memorial service conducted in Newton on Monday night. For me, personally, it meant a lot to hear my daughter’s name mentioned and to have her honored along with all the other people. The entire service was quite moving and very spiritual for me. Please thank all the people that gave their time and talents to give to others.
I agreed with their approach, I agreed with their philosophy and how they handled this passage from this lifetime. (Social worker) Stephanie was Terrific! The nurse would even call us on her own time to check on my mother’s status. (And) I couldn’t have asked for better aides…when they found out my mother was Lithuanian and loved perogies, they brought her perogies. While my mother was at home, the aides walked with her, read Dear Abby and treated my mother as if she was their mom. And … Read more
