Grane Hospice Care Customer Reviews
Here is what some of our families are saying about our Altoona Office Services.
"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."
