Reviews for Sangre De Cristo Hospice and Palliative Care

Ashley Kawahakui — Wonderful organization that truly cares about the many communities they serve! Working for this organization has been such a blessing in my life. I see everyday the dedication and compassion the Sangre de Cristo Community Care Team provides their families and patients. I could not be more proud of the team I get to work with every day.

Mario Gernazio Jr. — Sangre has taken care of many of my loved ones since 1989 starting when my mom was on services. Their legacy of care and compassion for those of us facing the toughest moments in life is beyond appreciated. Thank you for the special work you all do!

Haley Merritt — I honestly am angry to even have to give this place one star. I write this as a warning to those who love their family members, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. My father was neglected & abused for 5 days by their staff. He was left in the same position for days, dehydrated, over medicated, and left to die. Their charge nurse told me she did not have time for my dad because she had a full house. I listened to a man yell, "Help me, Help me.." right at the nurses station for over 5-10 minutes straight and no one helped him. When you walk in the place smells of fecal matter. This facility should be put out of business. They had my dad over medicated to the point he could no longer recognize us and they tried telling us it was just the progression of the disease. Well today, the day after we pulled him out, he is having full conversations and able to identify everyone of us again. If you have morals, love your loved one, and want any quality of life for them PLEASE FIND A BETTER FACILITY.

jansen hildreth — They do a great job with end of life care. They also got be away free care when patients don't have insurance. A great nonprofit hospice. I'd recommend them!

Chester Gillings — I was a patient for 2.5 years. The first 1.5 years I could not have asked for any better care. Then something changed. I lost my long term case manager/nurse and had no regular nurse for an extended period of time. The new case managers that I was assigned all quit after a very short time. As a hospice patient we are not allowed to call 911, but when I called Sangre de Cristo during an emergency they would claim they had no one to send out ... just take more morphine. I was stuck outside unable to move in sub freezing temperatures ... just take more morphine. The old Medical Directer retired and a new Doctor took over. One of the first thing she did was order my most effective medication to be discontinued, because it was too expensive. My case manager at that time did go to bat for me and documented the rapid decline in my condition after the drug was removed, the drug was restored. A Nurse Practitioner came to my home to conduct an exam. He introduced himself as a doctor. A few months later this 'doctor' re-examined me and told me that I was coming close to using up all of my benefits, that services would have to be cut back. I foolishly complained (there are no limits on hospice care). A month later the new Medical Director discharged me from Hospice care claim as her basis that I failed to meet two objective criteria. For each of the two criteria I greatly exceeded the standard. I had even been examined by the retired medical director who stated that I did meet the re-certification standards, easily. I have no doubt that the decision to discharge me was made before my records were reviewed. I believe I was discharged because I would not submit to their cost cutting measures. When I was discharged I was given about 48 hours to arrange for everything to be transferred and to find a new doctor to reissue all of my prescriptions. I had no right of appeal. I received precious little help in making the transition. I had no one that was able to advocate for me.

Avoid Sangre de Cristo Hospice. If you accept their services you will be at there mercy - and they will leave you alone standing out in the cold, literally.
