Reviews for Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care

stan turpin — An absolutely horrible experience. My mother of 92 was put into home hospice care as a means of getting her “more help”. Worst decision we’ve made. Mom is bedridden and had no “body sores” or pressure points at care onset. After 6 months hospice determined she no longer qualified for hospice care (against her doctors directives) and in the “transition” back to home health care we were assured by multiple people MULTIPLE times when all was in place she would be discharged. A wound has opened up from the lack of care and it is escalating into a serious infection. At this point- they TERMINATED care! Nothing was in place to address the wound they caused / no nurses and or CNA care. No notification to me as moms power of attorney. Calls to management and the excuse was a “change over in personnel and a lack of communication”. REALLY? I asked if this was her mother would she like her to be treated this way and the answer was NO! Please don’t let anyone you love get assigned to Pikes Peak Hospice home care!

John Bower — What I have to say is opinion, read it for what it is worth. I found them condescending and inflexible. They couldn't wait to get rid of my friend, whom I believe Pikes Peak moved to a less appropriate facility to avoid possible liability for falls. Again, opinion. She had fallen several times right before going to Penrose. They of course claim that they had improved her so much in two days that she no longer needed the level of care provided at Penrose. While technically nonprofit, they seem to be pretty much just about making money, an opinion which I have found is shared by others who are more familiar than I with hospice care in this community. I would urge anyone seeking out hospice services to seriously consider other providers. I would urge anyone thinking to donate time or money to this organization to carefully consider whether there assets and time might be better utilized elsewhere.

Judith Barlow — I will never ever ever suggest any family or loved ones to use Penrose Hospice, ny husband was in ICU doing good then transferred to Hospice ( to get him stabilized to go home hospice care) within 3 days he passed, that morning he was saying he wants to urinate but struggling and hurting, I lifted the sheet to help him and what I saw angered, shocked, disgusted and broke my heart. I waited for a nurse after 2 requests for 30min she came in looked and said OH My I’ll give you a shot of morphine wait 30 minutes and put in a a catheter. What a money making system. Penrose Hospice Colorado Springs took away the precious time that we still had to be together. I have a appointment with a Lawyer coming up. I am heartbroken that the love of my life had to suffer and endure such pain after being neglected.

Lelia Haskell — From the aviary and dog therapy they have available for patients to music and art therapy; they have been a tremendous gift and resource to our community. They are the only non-profit so beware of the many for-profit providers who have only been doing business here for a short time, see where they are located, some are even franchises like fast food. We saw the annual Trees of Life event on the news and were able to have my father honored this year. Such a blessing to our family, thank you for all you do.

Cortney Quintero — I have nothing but incredible things to say about the team at Pikes Peak Hospice. I attended the Trees of Life tree lighting last year - what a thoughtful and beautiful event. Thank you to the team at Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care for going above and beyond to care for your community with such grace and kindness through one of the most difficult parts of life's journey.
