Families Say Thank You

Dear Friends at AseraCare,

Thank you for the wonderful care you provided to my mother and for the support you gave my family during her illness and after her death. During the time she was in your care, Mom was blessed with calls and visits from so many caring people in your organization.

At times, Mom expressed her desire for independence and felt she did not need all the attention you gave her. But we all know she did need it and I am grateful you were there. I feel she truly got the best care from you. Thank you for giving my mom the chance to leave this earth the way she wanted to--in her own home and with dignity.

May God bless all of you for the difficult, yet loving work you do.

To the AseraCare Hospice Team:

Thank you so much for the sensitive and kind care that you provided to [patient] during his “final life journey.” Every AseraCare representative that we met was most thoughtful to [him] as well as to me, his immediate family member. Everyone offered the appropriate levels of guidance and communication, for which we are most grateful.

You are very special people!
