MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care

I want to share my experience as the primary caregiver for my elderly mother, who was terminally ill with cancer. I owe a world of gratitude to MJHS at-home hospice. They became an invaluable resource for our family. I want to thank Rafael Arias for his compassionate and professional approach. He took the time to understand my mother's specific needs and developed a personalized care plan to address them.The caregivers assigned to us were highly trained, showed genuine care, and quickly connected with my mother. Their excellent home health care services have been of great support during this difficult time. I am grateful for the positive impact MJHS has had on our lives and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and compassionate care for their loved ones.J.

MJHS provided the essentials and resources we needed when my father was under home hospice care. We were fortunate to get experienced, compassionate nurses, attentive case manager and health aide that spoke Chinese and between us, main caregivers we were also able to communicate all the needs and concerns, everyone was helpful and compassionate.

Overall I would not recommend home hospice for a loved one if you have any other options. I found too much guesswork for a layman to have to figure out at a very stressful time. Describing symptoms and handing out powerful drugs is nerve wracking. As for our nurse and social worker they were two awesome caring and amazing women. I never got to use the aides as my husband passed within a week, but I can only guess that would have been another layer of stress. Way to much responsibility is placed on family who are unprepared and unskilled. The after hours phone call system is hit or miss. Some of the calls I made to them were awesome and helpful and others were less than caring. I was on hold forever when my husband passed while the "looked" for someone to pronounce him. That took 45 minutes. Guess he died at an inconvenient time.The chaplin was actually rude to me on the phone. Additionally an error on my husbands death cert took multiple calls to fix which held up his cremation. There really should be a better system to care for our elderly in the richest country in the world. Best of luck to you if you are looking into this.

Excellent care provided by a caring and competent team of health care professionals. Comprehensive care was provided to my mother at her home by a doctor, nurse, social worker, and a spiritual counselor in her time of need. I recommend MJHS to any one in need.
