My family had an incredible experience with Hospice of the North Shore during a very difficult situation. The care coordinators were compassionate and understanding throughout our entire journey, always treating us with the utmost respect and kindness while providing thoughtful solutions that truly met all of my loved one’s needs.

Thanks to them, I felt fully informed and confident as I worked with my doctor to make important decisions about care plans with greater clarity than ever before!
