My husband died four weeks ago from a glioblastoma brain tumor. We had registered with Northwest Skagit Hospice only four days before his death on June 29th. We had only met with the social worker and other appointments with the rest of the team had not been set up. 24 hours before his death he experience extreme pain and it took 2.5 hours while my husband screamed in pain to get a nurse to us. Their excuse short of staff due to vacations. I asked to speak to a supervisor who took my interview and I asked to have a full report on what had happened that we had to wait and my husband to suffer and they have still not got back to me. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
