Reviews for Hospice of Charleston

Brooke Sherman — Hospice of Charleston has an impressive team! Choosing a hospice is such an intimate decision, as i have been there in choosing for my grandfather. I partner with hospice of Charleston professionally and I’m so impressed with the team and attention to detail. The small things are everything to them! You’ll be so grateful to talk to David, who is the person who will guide you thru your questions. No question is dumb, silly, or obvious. He is gentle and supportive in this time for you. Good luck in your search!

Carolyn Jenkins — As a nurse, I have high standards! The staff at Hospice of Charleston were super, and they were compassionate and caring both for my husband and for our family, even when we were demanding. Also, they knew when to guide us gently into the realities associated with dying. I am grateful for their high level of professionalism and support. I will always remember when the social worker and my husband had a discussion about medication and both interjected humor into the discussion--also during a family conference with the entire team, she sat beside my husband who was dying and gently and softly sang to comfort him.

Joseph Gamboa — My mother was admitted to hospice three days before she died and I was very impressed with the hospice staff - nurses, front desk person, doctor.

In the middle of the afternoon - a couple of hours after my mother arrived - she expressed hunger and the hospice nurse brought in several items of hot food and a beverage for my mother to eat. It was much more than I expected.

My mother passed during the night a couple of days later and I got a call the next morning from a hospice nurse. She was very warm and consoling. When I arrived at hospice after the call, I was led into the room by a nurse and they had arranged my mother's body in repose as if she were sleeping.

I can't say enough for the warmth and care given my mother and my family while my mother was at hospice. Joe Gamboa

P.S. The facilities at hospice are absolutely state-of-the-art and very like a 4-star hotel. The room had a large lounge chair, bookshelves laden with books and reading materials, there was a long window seat in the window, and a built-in desk and chair. There even were fresh flowers in a vase on the windowsill. The public hallways had a lot of original art and there was a very elegant non-denominational chapel off the front corridor. The whole atmosphere was very peaceful.

Ballard Leigh — Thankfully, I have nothing to compare their services with. This was the first time I have ever had to have hospice involved with a loved one so I really wasn't sure what to expect. The Hospice Chaplin came to see us within a couple of days and we never heard from him again.... not even after my father passed away. There were some amazing nurses that I had to call on in the middle of the night whose compassion and empathy were exactly what I had hoped would be but for those several amazing women, there were several that were quite the opposite - we were made to feel that we were bothering them. After my father passed away, I reread all of the literature that we had been given that elaborated about how support would be given after our loved one passed - never heard from them again. During the many scary changes that were occurring in the final days, it was the facility nurse (a former hospice nurse) that was letting us know what to expect and why it was happening. It was obvious from the beginning that there was a conflict or power struggle between our Hospice case manager and the facility nurse who had been a hospice nurse.

All of this to say -- We were left feeling like a fish out of water with what to expect and made to feel foolish if we did ask questions. But, what I thinks bothers me the most in that we never heard another word from them with the promised "support" that would continue afterwards. Not a phone call, not a card - nothing.

Like I said, this was our first time having a loved one with hospice so I didn't really know what to expect but I certainly do now. I pray that I will never have to choose another hospice provider in my lifetime but if I do, it will not be Hospice of Charleston. Very, very sad that they were to help us and I feel the need to leave this type of review. This is the first review I have ever written and I hope that it will be helpful when others are looking for hospice services.
