Not a fan of Circle of Life. They take away all meds except morphine and Ativan. Lead Families to believe that the loved one needs more care even with 24hr car at home. If you want your loved ones to be alone n not fullfil wishes of their loved ones this is the hospice to us your loved one will be gone in 3-5days. Seen this more than once. Elderly enjoying life up walking to being gone. Would not recommend this hospice for anything. Only giving 1 start so this warning for others can be posted.
My GMA had circle of life for a while then 3 others I cared for had circle of life. So I've seen there work first hand.
The nurses were wonderful with my Mother Matilda. She passed on May 6th 2015. I greatly have disappointment with this hospice, her last final 2 days. Medication was to be issued for her pain and discomfort. The meds never happened and everyone blams the other about it. JUST PATHETIC.
The director of Circle of Life called me and told me that she would look into why the meds came 2 hours after my Mothers death. A lot of good that did!! Furthermore, she told me she would get back with me within a few days with some answers, NEVER HAPPENED. This outfit should be ashamed of themselves to leave my Wife and I hanging on without answers. What really bothers us as well, is that this so called director gal from Circle of Life seemed upset about what happened, must have been a front and shes a great actress. Just imagine your Mother in her last few days uncomfortable because no one had the common sense to see what was going on. She might have even been able to pass peacefully in her sleep, not looking wide awake but passed as I saw her. I will never forget or forgive this organization for such a neglectful way of taking care of my Mom at the end of her life. The only reason I gave 1 star was the nurses were there for her in the past. Because of this I highly DO NOT recommend this hospice. R.Kaufman
