Reviews for The Denver Hospice

Andrea Jones — The transition from in-home hospice to the facility was seamless because the nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers continued to check in on our family and visit Ellen. The nurses, volunteers, nurse assistants and so many charged with the task of walking besides families in dark and difficult times is daunting to consider. The staff and volunteers of Denver Hospice take their mission to heart and serve their patients and families with honor, love, esteem and respect at every turn on the journey.

Gabriela QUIROGA CHAVEZ — I deeply disappointed with the service and care my husband received from the Denver Hospice. My husband was in the terminal stage of cancer. When we first talked to them, they promised that the care included no suffering and no pain. We were also promise 24/7 support even if we had an emergency and need a nurse on site at our home. On December 14th I call the "emergency number" at 9 pm to request a nurse because my husband was in pain and couldn't breath. The nurse Rene responded that it was something that I should expect. I called again on Dec 15th at 2am because my husband was felling worst. I request again a nurse and the nurse had the same response. I called again at 3 am and the nurse just told me that she will call in an hour to see if my husband was doing better. She never called me back. I called her around 4:20 am requesting a nurse again because my husband even worst and she responded that she will contact a nurse and that she will be at my house in an hour. Of course I called 911 because my husband couldn't breath. 911 brought an oxygen tank with more units than the hospice provided. The nurse arrived around 6 am and told everybody that she will take care of him. 911 left and I was asking the nurse to move him to the Hospice Hospital at Lowry and she didn't want to do it because according to her my husband was not in critical condition. In the meantime my husband run out of oxygen from the small tank so I connected him to a big tank of oxygen that the Hospice provided and I realized it was EMPTY. I would to point out that my husband had lung cancer(stage 4) When I asked the nurse to call the ambulance, she told that the ambulance will be here in an hour so I called again 911. The nurse was asking me NOT to do it and in the meantime my husband was asphyxiating. Is that how the Hospice takes care of their patients? 911 arrived and stay with my husband until the Hospice ambulance arrived. My husband was moved to the Lowry facility and he was connected to an oxygen machine with a mask. During the time we were there the nurse and the doctor wanted to move him to an oxygen cannula (mustache style) to SAVE OXIGEN. Really???? At that time my husband was breathing through his mouth so I didn't allow to do it. My husband passed away the same day (Dec 15th) at night.
I DO NOT recommend the Denver Hospice to anybody.

ari rodriguez — They literally did nothing for my grandmother in her ending days. I am highly disgusted and disappointed with the “services” provided. One nurse even gave my grandma morphine with out even letting any of us know! Do not I repeat DO NOT waste your time with any of these careless people. 😤😠😪

connie martin — My husband was a home hospice patient for 7 days before passing. Trying to get someone on weekend is a joke. After his passing nothing. No chaplain, no bereavement no phone calls. Nada

Mary Whitehurst — I am deeply disappointed at the service and care we have received. The Denver Hospice is one of only two options we have for my grandfather’s end-of-life care (because of our insurance). Today was his first full day of hospice care and we were promised 24/7 support even if we have an emergency and need a nurse on-site at our home. My grandfather suffered 3 cardiac events this evening and after the medicine we’ve been instructed to give him didn’t work we called the patient care line to request that a nurse come to assist us. After waiting over an hour we called back only to be told by the nurse Rene that there were other patients “more critical” than my grandfather and that we would have to wait another hour or two for a nurse to arrive. This was after telling us (on the first call) that someone was on the way. This situation is hard enough as it is, but watching my grandfather go through all this pain is heart wrenching...especially when the hospice is supposed to be supporting us in making sure he can be comfortable and rest while he nears the end of his life without pain. I suggest The Denver Hospice re-evaluate their processes and the promises they make to patients and their families. If you need hospice care for your loved one DO NOT use The Denver Hospice!

Cynthia Taylor — Careful, professional, responsive, loving care at every moment as they eased our family member through his last days - can't thank them enough for their phenomenal care.
