I’ve worked in the medical field for many years and highly recommend Hospice of Marion County. They provided exceptional care to all my patients and their families during this difficult time, offering compassion and support throughout the process. Their staff was always professional yet friendly and they kept us , the doctors, in the loop of any changes or updates regarding our patient that we needed to be aware of, while also providing top notch care with great communication between patient and family members. Overall I would really recommend them!

Our family will forever be grateful for everything Hospice of Marion County did for my father as his condition deteriorated over a few months time frame till his passing away peacefully at home surrounded by family members . The entire team felt like an extended part of our family with their dedication to not only keep him comfortable but give us emotional strength in dealing with such a tough situation . We were provided day service from volunteers who visited everyday listening to whatever concerns we had making sure he was taken good care off , giving frequent updates on progress/regress etc., as well understanding about emotional struggles during such times . Something which helped most is treatment plan being explained very clearly so it made us feel more involved in decision making process ultimately gathering more courage instead feeling being told what should has been done through out this journey
