My father recently completed 90 days in Islands Hospice - Supportive Care Program while he battled esophageal cancer. He has now transitioned to Islands Hospice. Our family was very pleased with the wonderful service we received. It was incredible. We had a nurse, nurse practitioner, social worker, and CNA come to the house. With my father being elderly and weak, it was so nice to have the care come to us. Everyone was wonderful. We had a lot of issues that required troubleshooting (my father was on a feeding tube). In particular, Almer, Harold, and April were exemplary. They always found the

A big Mahalo to the staff of Islands Hospice for all their assistance to our father. The support we received after the sudden death of our brother who was the primary caretaker of our father was tremendous.
A special thank you goes out to the social worker, Kaitlin, who quickly worked with the family to have my father transferred to their hospice home in Palolo for respite care while we took care of affairs and found a permanent place for him to be cared for. Unfortunately, he passed away a few days later.
Also, a big shout out to Chaplin Elizabeth who called to check up on how the family was doing

Islands Hospice has been a great shoulder to rely on throughout this pandemic as well for the past couple of years. My family's experience with Islands Hospice started in 2016 when my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. From initial conversation to his unfortunate passing later that year, to even most recently when we've been going through the same process with my grandmother (during a pandemic, mid you) every encounter has been pleasant and comforting.
My family and I trusted Islands Hospice to care for my family like their own and that's exactly what they've done, and

My sister-in-law Karen had a stroke on Monday, August 17. By Saturday, Aug 22 it was apparent that her body was failing. The hospital explained we needed to have 24 hour care arranged before she could go home with hospice support. I spoke with the weekend hospice liaison multiple times on Saturday. She was extremely helpful and suggested which of the care providers on the list given to me by the hospital were the best. Unfortunately, only one of those recommended agencies took calls on the weekend. Since Karen had been in the ICU, she was considered

We brought my 94yo mother in law home for here last days. RN Jessica compassion and professionalism was terrific. She educated my wife and I on what to expect in the coming days. NA Fillipa also was very good with her care and personal touch with mama. I hope you never need to contact these people, but if you do, you can't do any better than them.

We were referred to Islands Hospice because we needed a hospital bed for my 100 yr old mom who lived in her own place. We already had wonderful qualified caregivers coming during the day while my brother and I would alternate staying overnight. All I can say that they were outstanding and on the ball from the very start. From qualifying us to providing the needed bed along with diapers, lotions, palliative care drugs, CNAs to assist with bathing, nurses checking up on her, gloves, bed protectors, etc. My understanding was that hospice would provide assistance to the caregivers and that's exactly

THE hospice CHARADE: Hospice death is an epidemic in the United States. Not all are created equally.
IMPORTANT: Your loved one may not need hospice. If discharged, get him or her to her primary care physician first. Even if you don't have equipment at home. The hospital must make arrangements with the doctor to order what is needed.

All of the Islands Hospice professionals we dealt with were at the utmost best, caring, truly kind people we could have every wished for. This includes the nurses, assistants, doctors, pharmacy delivery people, equipment delivery guy....everyone. What a honorable service they provide. Thank you from our family.

Six months have gone by since my mother has passed and now I think I can write this review. Islands Hospice took my mother on when another Hospice would not. I have only a few things that I felt were inappropriate but in comparison to all that was good and the people that I came in contact with during Islands Hospice care for my mother outweigh anything negative I saw. Considering that my mother was my best friend, next to my husband, I was very emotionally wrapped up in the care of my mother. I had been through this with my dad and by far this was the hardest thing I have done in my life.

In April of 2018 I was informed that my husband would need to be admitted to hospice care. Every single kind of emotion ran through my head and wasn't sure of what the future would bring. I asked for recommendations from my husbands oncologist office along with my family members who are all RN's, off of them said Islands Hospice was the best and decided to give them a try.
I can say hands down that choosing Islands Hospice was the greatest decision I had to make through this whole journey. Every staff member that came to the house to assist my husband was nothing short of stellar

Mahalo nui loa to the Island Hospice staff! They are the most sympathetic, compassionate, professional, trustful, hardworking, and loving individuals. Such excellent medical and humane care was given to our daughter. Their explanations were concise when applying medical care. They patiently listened and responded to any issues or concerns and allowed us to make informed decisions. They assisted with the completion of required forms; which were insurmountable at the time. Most importantly, we never felt alone. We were comforted by the staff during our daughter's last hours and supported

My family called Islands Hospice and immediately got scheduled to meet with a consultant in the next 1 1/2 hours. Shawn handled himself in a vey professional manner and went up and beyond our expectations. They provided everything we needed to help my dad get comfortable through his ordeal. The 2 nurses (Dale and Elizabeth) were quick to respond to our every need available to them and did so in a timely manner. The staff at Islands Hospice was very professional and treated our family with the up most respect. I would recommend them anyone that needs the services they provide.

Islands Hospice helped me to care for and keep my grandma comfortable at home for 6 months until she passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on January 14th 2015. I am truly grateful for all of the love and support my family and I received. I couldn't even imagine life without my grandma after living with her and my grandpa for most of my life. Focusing on her wishes and quality of life made the experience of seeing her fade away and being able to let her go so much more bearable. Of course when my grandpa began to get weaker and more ill, Islands Hospice again was my savior. Sadly

Islands Hospice has been amazing. My words cannot begin to explain what they have done to help our family to take care of my grandmother.
Nurse: Our nurse is Christine and she has gone above and beyond to help us care for my grandmother. She is part of our family and cares for my grandmother as her own. She answers my mom's calls for help or questions. She is always positive, loving, kind, considerate, patient, and genuine. She is there for my grandmother but also is there for our family to help however she can. She is a blessing.

Most of what there is to say has been said in other reviews, but: Islands hospice was the angel in disguise to help ease the passing of my tutu late last year. We had set up hospice care only the day before she lost consciousness and some member of the staff was there to help every day for the next week or so until she passed.
Particular mention to our Social Worker Rachel, and nurse Nikki, who went above and beyond with warm caring to provide ample comfort medication and care. Who'd've thunk I'd be reviewing hospice care on yelp, but I needed some way to recognize them publicly

The hospital referred me and Islands met with me IMMEDIATELY. I got in contact with two other places, but went with Islands when I was traumatized by a more known hospice organization's many pages of intake forms. When you are under an extreme amount of stress, the last thing you want is pages after pages of contract and being told they would put a lien on your house if you couldn't pay for hospice rate room and board, which is *NOT* covered by Tricare or Medicare.
