Grane Hospice Care Customer Reviews

Here is what some of our families are saying about our Altoona Office Services.

"Wonderful care by all involved. All were professional, caring, friendly, and kind. Jane looked forward to their visits. Would recommend Grane!"

- by Ron Smithmyer

"My dad was a little difficult at times due to his dementia, but the team from Grane Hospice Care always took time with him. I just wish they would have known him before he got this horrible disease. They always answered my questions and kept me updated on his condition. I could not be there every day to check on him, but I had trust in them to take care of my lifeline, best friend and father."

"My husband received wonderful care. Nurses and aides were so kind and compassionate. They would bring him small gifts and make him feel special. He was always clean and shaven when I visited. He was a Veteran and they had a party and presented him with pins, certificates, beautiful pillow and cake. It meant so much to the family. Their presence at his funeral and the beautiful flowers and figurine was just another wonderful thing they did. They are A++++"

"I am writing to compliment the staff at the Altoona Grane Hospice during the time I walked in until the day our mother passed away they were always kind and compassionate with myself and my siblings. They called to see how we were doing and gave us avenues where they could help with our grieve and sadness. The volunteers that sat with our mother while we were working were kind and considerate. We as a family cannot say enough about the Grane Hospice employees. They treated us like we were family and we continue to get checked on to see how we are doing. We would give them 10 stars if we could. Thank you to all the caring people that make this a great place."

- Angela Ryan

"Although our time with this group was very short, the care and compassion experienced was very positive. Losing a loved one is never easy,, but with someone that seems to care like they did made it much more bearable. Thank you again for your support and help during this difficult time.. "

"Recently Grane Hospice provided care for my mom. I live in the Midwest and communicated with them via phone calls. Mom felt very comfortable with them and they provided loving care. My husband was in Hospice care and our team was wonderful! It takes very special people to work in hospice care. I am very thankful for the team who treated my mom with patience and kindnesss in her last weeks on this earth. At moms memorial service I was able to meet her hospice team. They are marvelous folks and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. God bless you!"

- Jamie Elder (Evelyn Scritchfield’s daughter)

"The value of a diamond is determined by 4 "C's"; cut, color, clarity, and carat. Grane Hospice's service can also be determined by 4 "C's"; compassion, commitment, caring, and comfort. Grane Hospice would be rated as the finest diamond. During a very difficult time they were a true advocate for our family due to the poor care our mother was receiving from a nursing facility. They were there for our mother and for us each step of this difficult journey and they continue to contact us months after her departure. Although the staff and volunteers were assigned blocks of time not one of them ever watched the clock, their concern was solely on the comfort of our mother, many stayed well beyond their assigned time and stopped in when they were in the area. All associated with Grane Hospice are truly a blessing."

"Thank you Grane Hospice for all the care you gave my father as well as our family. We had Grane Hospice involved with my father and his care for about 9 months. During that time he received exemplary care, physically and emotionally. Grane was always available to our calls and when my father was at the end of his journey, they stepped in almost full time.I even attended grief counseling sessions several months later that Grane provided. We are so deeply appreciative. I especially want to thank Pastor Dave for his time and the connection he made with my dad. He truly gave my dad peace."
