COMMENTS FROM OUR FAMILIES• Absolutely wonderful during an extremely difficult time. The nurse, Traci, and the CNAs that came daily were our lifeline. We

could not have done it without them. We feel blessed to have had their support, kindness, and dedication to my Mom's comfort.Thank you. We are so thankful for Hospice of Garrett County.

• The hospice team that cared for my Mother could not have done a better job. They were all wonderful, and helped make a verydifficult time for us a little easier.

• We were well pleased with the care we got from Hospice. We had Cheryl & Traci, both of those were very nice and so caring,both were a big help in our home. Thanks to Hospice.

• Hospice of Garrett County. The entire team was terrific. In the Covid-19 environment of no visitors, Hospice took care ofadministration and care, and kept us informed. These are a very special group of people.

• The nurses visits were always a highlight of our week.• I was always impressed at the care and commitment of the Hospice Team workers. They were a big help to me, not only in care,

but also in advice. The ladies were all very personable and helpful.• Cannot say enough about Hospice of Garrett Co. And all the staff and volunteers. They were so helpful; their kindness is what

we will remember the most. They helped in every way possible and showed respect and dignity to my grandmother. Mary wasan absolute angel. Everyone else that we met were wonderful too. Thanks.
