Sharp Hospice ParkView Home

Parkview Hospice Home and the staff are like stepping into heaven. Every staff member was warm, caring, and understanding. The nurses are the best I’ve encountered. The house is beautiful, inviting, sparkling clean, and comfortable for all. My mother was given the best of care, we couldn’t have asked for more. I can’t imagine a better place for our last memories.
Highly recommended!

If I could give 10 stars I would. The 1 star review is from someone who never stayed at this hospice location and honestly should be removed or placed on another Sharp location — maybe the ER.
I was more than a bit hesitant for my dad to come here when I saw there was only one 1 star review
but after I read it I realized it was a rant against the system and contained nothing about an experience here.
My father was taken to Sharp Hospice Parkview when we could no longer keep him comfortable at home. From the initial call to the nurse to the time he was admitted we felt the care and compassion from every person we encountered.
It took 3 hours for him to be transferred from home to Parkview. Upon admission the nurse took his picture, printed it and hung it on his door. They also gave him a beautiful small stuffed bunny that he held on to for the duration of his time there. His room was very nicely decorated with wall art, pictures, and a super comfortable love seat and recliner. I stayed with him for the three days he was there. The staff checked in hourly. They made sure he was not in pain. They explained everything in plain English. There was always enough staff there — there are four private rooms. They have lots of snacks and tea and coffee always available. With a refrigerator if you want to bring your own. The home was spacious and clearly used an interior decorator :-) Lots
Of books and magazines. The backyard was lush with plants and trees with two nice seating areas with umbrellas. The only improvement I would suggest is to designate one of the two employee bathrooms in the back by the rooms for family/​friends. It was a little trek at 2 am to the big bathroom out in the main living room
When the time came for my dad to go, the nurses and aids were so kind! I want to give them HUGE KUDOS for the priceless work they are doing to help patients and families at end-​of-​life care, at a time when we really need this kind of care and compassion. We THANK YOU. (Oh, we took the stuffed bunny home and hung his admission picture around it :))

It pains me to write this. You would think when a loved one is dying that a companies primary concern is to provide comfort to the individual. Not Sharp! Let me explain without becoming to irate… Our family friend was in her last stage of cancer and dying. My best friend took her to Sharp emergency room just to stop the pain and get medication and talk about hospice. Sharp ordered about 20 tests after we already knew she was dying and just needed hospice (which she already had picked out). After hours of fighting with case workers and admitting doctor we just left. Sharp wanted us to do all these NEEDLESS TESTS to jack up the bill and her discomfort. Sharp refused to allow us to talk to anybody else but Sharp Hospice. Sharp Hospice didn’t want to take her! Why? Because they would RATHER rake in more money by admitting her to just Palliative Care (pain/​comfort care). I guess this way they can milk more money from the insurance companies. When those monies are milked and the funds are dry, and only then is Hospice Care Granted. Now I researched hospice and it is insured up to 6 month prognosis’. My friend had less than two and they just wanted to treat her discomfort rather her extreme pain.
After we left, her and her family choose a private hospice company. Fortunately, when she died, she died in peace and without a tainted spot of greed on top of it. I’m surprised they aren’t investigated!
