My mom fell down suffering injuries that prevented any recovery. Immediately after our Bridges Hospice consultation medical equipment & supplies were delivered to our home. My mom spent her last days relaxed, surrounded by care, comfort, and pain-free. She passed on her own terms peacefully.

Your Bridges Hospice nurse is the kindest person I have ever met in my life, available 24/7 providing the ultimate care for my mom and emotional support to our family. I had the most amazing experience with Bridges Hospice. We have been blessed to have Bridges in our lives, from beginning to end Nana loved and respected you. Today we placed her with my dad in the ground. It was a peaceful farewell in her honor. Again I thank you with all my heart.
