Stories from Transitions LifeCare




Read heartfelt stories from families who have experienced the compassionate care of Transitions LifeCare’s hospice and palliative services.

Forever Grateful

“My family was blessed and honored to have Transitions LifeCare provide care to my mother and father. I was immediately impressed with the love, respect and compassion shown to my parents by the nurses, chaplains, and social workers. The medical and personal care they gave my parents made their lives so much better than it would have been. As I watched them decline mentally and physically, I had many questions. The emotional pain of seeing what they were going through was overwhelming. The care team from TL was always available to talk with me and help me to understand the changes in my parent’ health. I saw and felt the kind and dignified way the care team attended to the comforts and needs of my family. I am so thankful that God brought Transitions LifeCare to us. I will be forever grateful for the love, support and care they provided to my mother, father, and to me.”

Loving Care 

“It has now been a little over a year since my beautiful daughter died. We will be forever grateful for the loving care you gave her the last 13 days of her life, and the love and comfort that you gave to all of us: her husband, her children, her siblings, parents, and friends. I recall with tears in my eyes the message her husband tried to relay the morning she died. Your amazing care gave us the opportunity to stop being her caregivers and to instead just love her as a wife, daughter, mother, sister, and friend during those final days. The work you do is a gift to so many and will be appreciated by all of us in her family forever.”

Feels Like Yesterday

“It has been over a year yet sometimes feels like yesterday when Transitions LifeCare began taking care of my dear husband’s care. A special thanks to the nurses and their team at Transitions as they guided my family through late night desperate calls and early morning visits from his team to assess his needs. I will always be grateful to our spiritual care counselor for his timely visit with my husband and after his passing. I will never forget the beautiful way our nurse allowed me to help gently prepare my husband’s soul and body to leave us with kindness and full dignity. My husband’s uneasy adjustment from a rehabilitation facility to home prompted our call to Transitions LifeCare I will always be grateful for the kind assistance and care everyone extended to our family during the subsequent and sudden need of acceptance of my husband’s final day with us. My thanks also to the bereavement counselors their monthly letters and online support this past year.”

Exceptional Care

“I’d like to express my appreciation for the care and support that Transitions LifeCare provides to its patients. My husband received such compassionate and exceptional care during his final months before he died. I especially commend the team managers who managed his care. Not only did they provide my husband with such good care, but they were a comfort to me to have their help and advice during such a critical time. They improved my confidence level that everything was being done to make him comfortable in his remaining days.”

Like Family

“Everyone - from beginning to end - could not have been better than those who took care of our loved one. We had the BEST of support and care that could be given. Thank you for all you did to help him and the family. You were like family to us in our time of need. Thank you again for your love and care."

More than a Patient

“Words cannot express or define the care my wife received from your CNA’s, nurses, spiritual care counselor, and social workers. For six months they came to our home and treated her with dignity, continually made her comfortable and truly got to know her as the beautiful person was rather than just a patient. Transitions LifeCare - I can’t say enough about your organization and the people that work for them. It is more than a job or a paycheck for them. It’s the total care and compassion they provide that matters most to them. Not only to the patient but to the family as well. We all looked forward to the scheduled time with any one of your caregivers.”
