My brother was in the hospice unit at University hospital for about 4 weeks, he had a trach & feeding tube. He received excellent care. We found the staff to be exceptional. They kept us informed and answered all our questions. We were there everday and were always treated with respect. The Social Worker was extremely helpful and caring.
