Gulfside Healthcare Services Corporate Resource Center

My mom had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Moffitt has been treated her up to the time she needed to move on. Despite of weekend, they came to our home to sit down for all paperwork we need and arrange everything to be ready for her discharge. On the day her discharge, one of the nurse came to Moffitt to make sure all her medicines and painkiller through the IV is set to go.

After she came home, home care Nurse Ellen and Sharon came immediately to visit her, then social worker, chaplain and CNA (twice/week) came in next 5 days. Nurse Ellen and Sharon were great nurses who took care of my mother with thoughtfulness and dignity. 1-800 number they gave to me was open 24/7. I never had any problem getting help 24/7. Nurse came as late as 3 am for her needs and every nurse who took care of her was superb.

Only my regret is brought her back to home which was her wish yet pancreatic cancer pain became worse toward to the end. I was told if her pain became unmanageable (her pain was slightly under the border line of manageable) or I myself became unable to provide the care she needs, then they are able to transfer her to one of their facility. I wish we admit her in facility in the first place but we did not see what would come at the time she was discharged from Moffitt.

The care Gulfside Hospice provide was outstanding. I cannot express my gratitude in words. They took care of my mother as their own and always made sure I was doing okay mentally and physically.
