Family & Patients Testimonials

Dear VNAcare Staff, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the calm strength you shared with me during my mom’s time on hospice. Your steady presence helped anchor me during some of the hardest moments. Your charitable care support made it possible to be with my mom, and to love her through those final days without feeling the need to hold everything else together. Warmly

Lisa

Thank you so much to all who helped me during my husband’s illness. Our social worker and nurse were so kind and loving and caring for my husband. I am grateful for you and your kind hearts.

Ramirez Family

Susan

VNA, If I made one correct decision throughout this journey, it was choosing VNA! The staff is so caring, smart, and loving. I love all the angels that showed up for mom (and me) during the last six months. I will never forget how special you made mom feel. Thank you for everything!

Brenda

Our family cannot adequately express our gratitude to all of you. Every single person we came in contact with was supportive, caring and kind. Edgar, J.R. and all of the people that came treated our father with dignity and respect.

Kahlanbeck Family

I want to thank VNA for their wonderful patient care and to especially recognize Sheila Lim, RN for her visit today with a patient referred to VNA. Sheila did a wonderful job with her assessment, medications were explained thoroughly and overall teaching was excellent. Kaiser Permanente receives patient feedback and the patient is very pleased and thankful and wants Sheila to return.

Virginia, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Supervisor

Dear VNAcare Staff, Our family would like to express our thanks and deep appreciation for your kindness, compassion, and support during an incredibly difficult time in our lives. You gave us so much of your precious time to patiently answer all of our many questions and help us understand the situation. Our family very much appreciated the Chaplains who prayed with us and gave us words of comfort. We will always be grateful to each and everyone one of you!

The Richardson Family

A big thank you to the nurse that you sent out to see me today. The nurse was very informative, she took her time and explained everything she was doing and the reason, including the wound care. She made me feel comfortable and she was very caring. A very appreciative and big thank you to Eysha for her professional and caring patient care.

M.G.

Dearest VNA Team, Thank you for the loving support you provided our dear mother and the rest of our family during her final days. WE couldn’t have made it through without you! God bless you all!

Love, Debbie and Kelly

Added to our wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy new year is our sincere thanks for the excellent care you provided for our beloved daughter, Sally. Each person: chaplain, nurses, bathers, social worker, grief counselor, equipment and supply personnel gave us the support and care we needed during a sad and difficult time. Again, thank you and may you be blessed as you have blessed us!

Karen L.

Thank you all for taking such good care of our mom during her final months. You made a real difference in her life and took great care of her!

We have no words to describe our profound gratitude for your kindness, professionalism, and support during this chapter of Jennifer’s journey. Our lives will never be the same, but the part you played made it somewhat easier. Thank you again… And again… And again!

Linda P.

Chaplain Scott, our family would like to thank you so very, very much for the loving kindness and compassion that you have shown to our mom and our family! We are also grateful and honored that you are such a big part of mom’s relationship with the Lord! From our entire family, thank you, and may God bless you abundantly.

Nancy B.

Thank you for all the great care and concern for Russell. Names are difficult for me to remember-but special people were Dave (RN) and Maria who enjoyed “singing” with him. Also, Junior took special care of Russ after he was bedridden-thankfully, for only a few days. You were all a help and a blessing to us both.

Helen W.

Dear Hospice Staff, Thank you so much for the loving care that you gave to my husband & father. We truly appreciated your entire staff’s warmth and concern during our stressful moments. With hearts filled with appreciation

The Cortez Family

I am very, very grateful for the advice you gave me, the home health aide, the respite care and compassionate care you and your staff gave to my husband, John, during his time with VNA Hospice & Palliative Care Southern California. Thank you to everyone.

June C.

Please accept this donation in memory of my father, Dick H. He passed away peacefully at home in February 2010 with the help of VNA Hospice & Palliative Care (San Bernardino Office). Nurses, Christina and Grace were so loving to my faithful father and so helpful to my two sisters, myself and our mother. The work you do is amazing. If other families feel half of the love we felt from you they would be blessed. Hopefully, this donation helps you continue your good work.

Jennifer F.

Thank you for supporting my mother and her family during hospice care, her passing, and funeral. It was quite helpful to have your support, especially for those of us around the country unable to be present with her. Wishing your staff peace and God’s blessings.

Jou Y.

Dear Sabrina and VNA, Thank you for the wonderful care you provided to Steve, during his time on hospice. Your kindness, compassion, and expertise made a difficult period more bearable. I appreciated you taking the time to listen to both of our concerns and explaining everything so clearly. Your ability to adjust Steve’s medication to keep him comfortable was a true gift. Plus, your ability to connect with him and bring moments of lightness was appreciated. You helped us immensely, and I am grateful for your dedication and the peace you brought to us both in his final days. With heartfelt gratitude

Linda
