Connecticut Hospice

The nurses are rude and grouchy. The ADON, I Think her name is Rachel, is very cold and rolls her eyes constantly when your trying to talk to her. It kinda made me feel uncomfortable and a bother. Look elsewhere for Hospice care! Theres plenty of other wonderful places around!

Heartfelt thanks to Alicia, Kirby, Joan and the entire team at CT Hospice for the amazing palliative care they are administering outpatient to my Mom (nearly age 102) at Maplewood. The end result is a joint best of both assisted living plus palliative/hospice for Mom. What a blessing to Mom and our family. 🙏🏻🥰

(This is related to care for a family member 5 years ago). I'll say that some aspects of the experience, like when I first called and inquired about finances/insurance, weren't great, and the first nurse who helped my family member was not warm, but once I asked for a switch in caregivers, it was an amazing experience. I would suggest that staff be highly trained and vetted in hospice care. Overall though, and especially when it mattered, the staff was warm, kind, attuned and supportive. I'm very grateful.

There are not enough words to capture the immense gratitude I have for everyone at the Connecticut Hospice. After suffering a severe hemorrhagic cerebellar stroke and spending time in the ICU at Yale-New Haven hospital, my father was transitioned to CT Hospice, where he passed away after a 5-day stay. While his stay was brief, it was very intense, and every single staff member, from the doctors to the nurses to the aides to the volunteers, treated us with loving care and sincere compassion. My mother and I felt deeply supported and respected, my father’s pain was managed carefully, and the beautiful room and surroundings overlooking the water gave us all a sense of peace and calm that we could not feel while we were at the hospital. My mother and I will forever be grateful to CT Hospice and for the way they allowed us to say goodbye to my father with love, dignity, and grace.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hospice. My Grandmother was here then 3 short weeks later my father. The kindness, caring and compassion they showed to not only our family but all the other patients was amazing. The fact that both my Grandmother and my dad were able to spend an entire day outside surrounded by family was the best part. No visitor limits if patient is brought outside. My dad was on oxygen and the nurses carried multiple tanks out to us so he could stay outside. Due to Covid only 4 people at a time can visit bedside BUT you can switch all day. And family is welcome to sleep there, they will bring you a cot or recliner. Also as long as pets are up to date on vaccines they are welcome to visit. In the middle of the night nurses were beyond quiet even when making rounds you barely heard them. The entire staff was so comforting in the most heartbreaking time.
