The team was incredibly responsive – my dad only lived a week after moving in with me and going on the program. Things happened quickly and it was a challenge for the nurse to educate us about what was happening. Their patience was incredible. Also, the dog lady brought her Great Dane by even though they had worked a full day. That brought my dad so much joy! Thank you! – SH |

The support, sensitivity, kindness, understanding, and competence they offered while caring for my mother leading up to her passing was incredibly comforting to her and to us. The nurses, social worker, home health care workers, chaplain and office staff with whom I had contact made a very difficult time better in ways I could not have anticipated. They are wonderful people who fulfill a very challenging role with incredible grace. – Kathleen Corley |

My wife, Gail, and I have been blessed by having hospice for all four of our parents during their final preparation for life on another plane. The thoughtfulness and genuineness relieved stress on ourselves, as children trying to remain strong while facing our own fears and insecurities. Hospice KNOWS!! They know the needs, the fears, the confusion that families face in this situation, and they don’t hesitate to acknowledge those insecurities, while at the same time they place all of their support behind the patient. What a gift they are! – Andy Twisdale |

I was very, very pleased and appreciative of the hospice care we received. First, I thought everyone was focused on making Barbara’s existence comfortable and pleasant. They went to the extreme in helping me to keep her clean and “pain free.” Secondly, they helped me, as the caregiver, to feel like I was doing all I could to help Barbara…they really helped me to cope with her condition and to bolster my confidence that I was “helping her.” I’ll never forget the help I was provided by each of the hospice, to include those who answered the phones when I called. – MV |

My mother was a resident of a nursing home so I didn’t have daily contact with her and wasn’t able to monitor/observe her care as if she had been home. That fact notwithstanding, I noted a higher and certainly better level of care while she was a hospice patient. Though painful to watch, I’m very confident her final three weeks were more comfortable than had she not been a hospice patient. I felt much more at ease knowing the hospice nurse was closely managing her med regimen and care. For that alone I’d recommend Hospice Care of the Lowcountry. – MS |

Mary Anne was my mother’s assigned nurse and we could not have had a better one. She was very strong willed. Mary Anne was patient, kind and firm when she needed to be – exactly what my mother needed! She was the perfect choice – and I cannot thank her enough. – LVB |

My mother-in-law was very determined to write her finale – the nurse and others helped her reach that curtain call with comfort and dignity, surrounded by all those that loved her! – Anonymous |

The support my mother and we received was exemplary. Mom went very fast, but was comfortable and the last words she spoke (the day before she died) were, “I’m happy.” – Anonymous |

The Hospice Team was incredible… a God send… earth angels. Suzi Oliver was the lead nurse and she is amazing, talented, gifted, a superb communicator, and compassionate. Everyone who cared for my mom was the BEST of the BEST. This journey was better for mom and me because of the care and love and compassion of the HCL team. I am deeply grateful. – Sandy West |
