Patient Testimonial
“I cannot thank Genesys Home & Hospice Care enough for all the compassion and care they gave my son – enabling me to spend quality time with him in the days he had left. He established a warm relationship with his nurse as she managed his symptoms and discomforts. She was also there in my son’s final moment when he made the transition to the world beyond – a moment I would have missed without her dignified and respectful guidance . The social worker and volunteer created memories that our grief-stricken hearts could not have provided, and helped us afterward with spiritual care and bereavement. The spiritual coordinator affirmed our faith and provided support. I cringe when I think of what would have happened if I did not have Genesys Home & Hospice Care Services.”
