Pathways Home Health and Hospice of Sunnyvale

Michaela is an absolutely charming Case Manager. She radiates such grace with her extremely professional assessment of our elder. Thank you for coming on a weekend and enlightening our home.

Pathways has been very helpful to my father and myself. We started out with hospice and transferred to palliative care. The nurses are informed. They come to the house to do bloodwork, which is great so I don’t have to take my Dad to the lab. We have had several nurses come and they have all been wonderful and my Dad can be difficult at times because he has dementia. Thank you, Pathways for all of your help!!

My wife had terminal liver cancer. We had Pathways before for my wife because of a broken Pelvic and an ostio arthritis situation. They were excellent. On the the terminal help they had all bases covered. Excellent home nurse aid, home help with initial setup, and social worked assistance. When my wife passed at 10:45 pm, I made 1call to the answering service who had a after nurse arrive within 45 minutes to confirm and then a service to remove the remains to the mortuary. Everything was covered at a terrible emotional time...

During COVID, one of my sister’s had a knee and then a hip replacement. Pathways Home Health services was instrumental in ensuring my home was safe and accessible for her after each of the surgeries. The PT and OT staff were friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I was so happy to have help learning how to care for my sister. The staff was on-time and took great care to be safe during the pandemic.

A few years back, we called on the hospice services to assist with my terminally ill sister. With the help of a compassionate and professional team, we were able to fulfill my sister’s wish and keep her at home. The nurses, social workers and volunteers provided the support needed to help us understand how to keep her safe and comfortable through the end of her life. We are eternally grateful for the guidance and support during that stressful time in our lives.

The hospice experience touched me deeply. So much so, that I decided to become a Pathways volunteer. As a hospice volunteer I provide respite for the family care givers and companionship for those in need. I am also a part of the Vigil Team, a group of volunteers that take turns sitting with a patient when death is eminent. We sit with the interest that no one should be alone during the end of life if they do not wish to be. I have a therapy dog, who upon request, will join me on a visit and provide snuggles and unconditional love.

Pathways Home Health Care and Hospice is a wonderful organization. I highly recommend Pathways as a service and a place to be in service.
