I would like to express my deepest gratitude and recognition for Terri Richards, who cared for my grandmother during her hospice journey. Terri has been an absolute blessing to our family during one of the most difficult and emotional times of our lives. Her compassion, patience, professionalism, and genuine kindness went far beyond what we could have ever expected. She cared for my grandmother with such dignity, respect, and tenderness, always ensuring she was comfortable and treated with love. Not only did Terri provide exceptional nursing care, but she also offered comfort and support to our entire family. She took the time to answer questions, explain medications and procedures, and help us navigate the challenges of end-of-life care with confidence and peace of mind. Her calm presence brought reassurance during moments of fear and uncertainty. What stood out most was her heart. It was evident in every interaction that she truly cared—not just as a nurse, but as a compassionate human being. Terri treated my grandmother as if she were her own family, and that is something we will never forget. Please know that Terri has made a lasting impact on our family. She represents the very best of what hospice care should be, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and service. Thank you, Terri, for the love, compassion, and exceptional care you provided. You turned a heartbreaking season into one filled with dignity, comfort, and grace. With sincere appreciation, Christabelle Brown and Family

I want to commend Vitas for assisting with care of a family member. I must admit we had a rocky start as communication was lacking. However after being assigned to rep./Nurse Natalie everything seems to flow. The nursing home was poor with communication and had it not been for Natalie and her professionalism I would be lost. She listened to the family needs and always try to assist. She would call 2-3 times per week with an update. She made VItas a better company. I hope she get all the accolades and rewards that she is deserving of.

I like to recognized a professional job of the 1416 who work whit my mother Clara Gomez the nurse and social worker every day visit and did very good job. An special thanks for the nurse Charlene Wilson who take care my mom when she passed. Charlene is an example of professionalism and love for there patients.

We are profoundly grateful for the in-home hospice doctor, DR. SZLVIA NAGY, who cared for my mother. She is kind, knowledgeable, and an exceptional leader whose attitude and guidance set the standard for the entire team. As a physician myself, I recognize and deeply respect her extraordinary work ethic and constant availability—she was truly working 24/7. The excellent, compassionate care my mother received was a direct reflection of her professionalism, responsibility, and unwavering commitment to dignity. DR. NAGY is truly invaluable to Vitas

This is for Vitas Team 413 in Pompano Beach, FL. I am so happy I decided to go with Vitas for my mother's in home (ALF) hospice care. They were extremely organized and caring and the whole team outstanding with their almost daily communication with me. Near the end, it was even more then daily communication. Special thanks to the doctor who was compassionate and made sure she received morphine so she would not be in pain. I am embarrassed to say that I can not find your name at the moment, please forgive me. Ashanta, the social worker and Sandra the team manager took the time to listen to any questions. Special praise goes to Nurse Karline who went above and beyond checking in on and caring for my mother. Even when she was not scheduled, she popped in on her after her other patients at the ALF. She suggested we not wait for our planned visit the following week. We changed our plane reservations and saw her the afternoon before she passed away. Please be aware that they are not constant aides. You will have to hire your own people to stay with your loved ones. The exception is after a fall (if warranted) or, as the case with my mother, when the signs are all there that it will very soon.
