The staff at Soulistic were incredible. Bonnie, Camille, Debbie and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure my mom was comfortable. Their team aided our family in the process of dying from giving us a spiritual counselor to speak with, to giving us the book, “Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience” by Barbara Karnes, RN, to helping us get an FAA approved oxygen concentrator. They treated my mom as a whole person, acknowledging her own agency and truly caring. I feel our entire healthcare system could benefit from applying the principals and ethics of Soulistic Hospice to the wellness industry. I absolutely recommend this company!Gina

Signing up with Soulistic Hospice was the best decision for our family as our mother’s health declined over the past few years. The care that she received contributed to her being able to maintain a good quality of life, which was most important to her and to us. Mom really wanted to stay at home, and Soulistic staff provided what she needed while also keeping us informed and comforted. The nurses who checked Mom’s health gave us enough details without overwhelming us. The CNAs who came in daily became part of the family, demonstrating amazing care and kindness. They all recognized Mom’s sense of humor and made sure that she always looked nice, as that was also important to her. All the staff were very responsive whenever we had questions or needed more information. Overall, Soulistic provided the best that hospice services can offer and we are grateful that, with their help, we honored our mother’s wishes to experience a peaceful ending to her life.C. Sax

There are no words to express how thankful we are for this company. After years of battling lung cancer, we were given a terminal diagnosis for my mother and were referred to Soulistic Hospice to help care for her. To say that they helped us through her death is not giving justice to what we experienced with them. They were at our home every single day at the end, holding her hand, teaching us what was going on and what to expect next, and helping us to make the right decisions to care for her. They are angels, I don't know how they found so many wonderful people in one single company, but they are the better than we could have ever hoped for.Radiogog P.

My husband was with Soulistic Hospice, in their palliative care program for over 2 years. Both of us were constantly amazed at the care and concern given to both of us. I don't know how I would have made it through those care giving years without them, as I had very painful issues of my own. Whatever equipment or supplies he needed, they provided. The spiritual staff was always available to me either by phone or in person. Each week, he looked forward to his 3 showers, as she was so kind, gentle and sang to him...sometimes Spanish, sometimes English; he didn't care. Twice, he had to go off their weekly care due to emergency hospital stays; but as soon as he was released, they were at the house on the same day, to get him back into the program. The nurses were incredible in keeping a close monitor on him, and me as well; and even followed him to an assisted living home. His nurse went above and beyond in trying to get the home staff to administer his meds correctly. I truly can't imagine getting any better assistance from anyone than with Soulistic Hospice.L.

Thank you Soulistic Hospice and your team members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at Soulistic Hospice. The very first night my wife, who had ALS, was placed on hospice she had a severe breathing attack. The response to my call for help was almost immediate . First a nurse, then a respiratory therapist with oxygen came to our home. My wife was made very comfortable in a short period of time. I quickly realized that the choice of Soulistic Hospice for my wife’s care was the right choice. Subsequent visits form nurses, therapists and aides at our home were very caring, loving, and dedicated to providing the best care for my wife. This made it much easier to cope with the difficult situation that I was experiencing. The staff was also concerned about my health and welfare and provided me with as much needed information and support as possible . I highly recommend Soulistic Hospice.The Duke

The word Hospice is immediate fear for all ears, but Soulistic Hospice provides the connection of Body and Soul that is so comforting for all. They are professional in all the caring and loving services they provide. The patient is given a sense of peace as well as the loved one caring for the patient. You find the Soul as important as the general medical only approach. They do more than provide care for the patient. They genuinely care for you and the patient. That caring continues after your loved one has passed on. Soulistic Hospice is my only choice when hospice care is needed.J. Hubbard

This year I had the direct experience of receiving hospice care for a loved one that I was caring for in my home. I have had experiences with two other hospices in the area. Soulistic was there to help immediately and provided thorough service from medications and equipment to appropriate emotional support at a time when all those things were so needed. There were a few months before my loved one passed when the Soulistic team came to visit regularly while there was time to talk and listen to my dear friend. The nurses monitored his symptoms and adjusted things as he came closer to his end of life. They would check in with me also and made sure we both knew what to expect. It was a blessing to have Soulistic services during our time of need. They helped both me and my loved one, and it was so helpful to know that they were there to call on at any time. I highly recommend this company for their ability to help people at a difficult time with heart and professionalism.Cbonzani

Over the past 5 years I have had three of my loved ones cared for by Soulistic Hospice during their passing. I am so very grateful to all of their caring staff for the quick responses to our needs any time day or night. My loved ones were always kept comfortable, and had their dignity maintained at all times. As the caregiver, I was given education on how to use medications when needed, and how to use the medical equipment they provided. This was so helpful. With the loss of my loved ones, Soulistic has provided me with bereavement support for as long as I need. It has been so wonderful to never feel alone.

Calle Iglesia Tubac, AZ 85646
Attn: Ms. Goodman,
Thank you to Soulistic Hospice and your team members.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Zepeda Family thanks all of the team at the Soulistic Hospice Program.
On June 2020, my mother in law after being released from the hospital was placed in hospice. From the time that she was placed in hospice, we were informed that her health would begin to deteriorate and that she had between 1 month and 2 years to live. My wife was provided with telephone numbers to several hospice programs whom service the Santa Cruz County area. We were asked to request information from each of the companies to make a decision as to who would help us take care of my mother in law in her finally stages of life. This was an extremely difficult decision to make.
While talking to various people, we were informed that Soulistic Hospice had some very dedicated people working for their program whom provided a higher level of care than any other program in the state of Arizona. Some of the people who provided this information are people who themselves work for both the State of Arizona, people whom loved ones have been cared for by Soulistic Hospice, Doctors in the Santa Cruz County Community, and Doctors/Nurses for the hospital where my mother in law was attended to in Tucson, Arizona. After contacting the different programs and making the difficult decision, my wife chose to contact Soulistic Hospice. From the moment we picked up the phone and spoke to your social worker, we noticed the level of care that your company provides. She was compassionate and very informative about the program and the level of care that the program provided. She explained to my wife and I, how the program worked, what was provided and how the team would care for my mother in law at our home. She explained what to expect and told us that we could pick up the phone at any time and ask for guidance if we had any questions.
When we met your nurses at our home for the first time, both were very caring, loving, and dedicated to providing the best care for my mother in law. Throughout the care of my mother in law, they also showed the level of professionalism and compassion they felt for she and my family. By far they treated my mother in law as if she was their own grandmother, parent, or sibling during this time. Both were exceptional in their care.
When it comes to your CNA, the words that come to mind which best describe her are compassionate, loving, caring, dedicated, and most than anything professional. She took care of my mother in law as if she was her own mother. Her always happy attitude brings out the best person in her and made these difficult times easier. She would always tell us what to expect and is willing to help and take exceptional care of her patients.
There were times that both your nurse and CNA would call on their days off just to ask how my mother in law was doing or if we needed anything. They were always interested in knowing how she had awoken and if she was doing well. Not only were they concerned about her but they too were concerned about how my wife was doing. They would continuously ask her if she needed anything and if she was okay. They would always offer her help if needed.
All of the Soulistic Hospice employees whom cared for my mother and law brought the name of Soulistic Hospice to a higher professional level. The Zepeda family is extremely thankful with your employees and Soulistic Hospice because in these difficult times, you all made it easier to cope with the much difficult times that we were experiencing.
Thank you for everything you did for our family during these times. We now know that we made the best decision by contacting Soulistic Hospice.
Respectfully,
The Zepeda Family

Eligibility for hospice care is determined by your insurance carrier; for Medicare patients, eligibility begins when your doctor determines you have six months left to live. Because doctors often do not refer patients to hospice care services until mere weeks or days before death, we encourage you to discuss it with your doctor when you are first diagnosed with a life limiting condition. Doing so will help ensure that you receive all the benefits of hospice care for the full period you're eligible.
Hospice care includes an integrative approach and does not replace medical treatment, nor does it hasten or delay the end of life. Our team of professional caregivers includes nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals such as social workers, home health aides, grief counselors, Interfaith ministers, trained volunteers, and more. Together, we meet all of your emotional, medical, spiritual, and physical needs. Soulistic Hospice care is more focused on improving your quality of life, providing comfort-oriented care, and preserving dignity.
