Dobson Home | Hospice of the Valley - Chandler, Arizona

It’s a whole new phase of life for all of us. I’m happy to report that my Dad was comfortable, clean and taken care of the whole time he was at Dobson Home. Dobson Home has 24/7 visiting hours. Just ring the doorbell or call the number on the sign if the door is locked. You will always feel welcomed. Also, pets are allowed and that was very important to us. There is also a volunteer who comes in to play the harp and it sounds very nice. My niece noticed that the dove on the hospice sign also looks like a "helping hand" which I thought was very special.

The staff is compassionate, efficient, understanding and they are all good listeners. There are nurses around the clock - day and night shifts. The staff is very attentive and efficient, professional, sympathetic and helpful. I would pop in often and the facility was always very clean and the kitchen was spotless. They mop the floor and empty the trash cans often (like all of my used tissues from crying). There is also hand sanitizer in every room. The lighting in the rooms is adjustable. Outside, there is a playground, a grill, two huge beautiful trees for shade, and a large open space with green grass.

My Dad’s room had screened in french doors and a private patio with a bench outside. I would open the doors for fresh air and sometimes sit outside on the porch when I needed a break. When my Dad was still eating, the nurses would make him whatever he requested. They even went to the store to get specific items for him. When my Dad stopped being able to communicate, the nurses would reposition my Dad frequently and cover him with a blanket when needed. They propped him up with pillows, there were extra pads around his elbows (I’m guessing to prevent bed sores) and they put an alarm on his bed because he would try to get up. He had foot issues and couldn’t cut his toenails, and, surprisingly, they did it for him.

The nurses were able to tell when Dad had only hours left to live. I was there just hours before Dad passed and even near the end of his hospice stay, I saw the nurses taking great care of him, bathing him, changing his clothes, and giving him crisp, clean, fresh new bed sheets. He looked good - dignified even in this state. When Dad did pass, we were notified immediately.

Overall, it’s a very clean, quiet, and calm atmosphere with a home-like environment. The Dobson Home has a welcoming and peaceful feeling.They also have good lemonade! Again, I’d like to stress how wonderful the staff is. Especially Joe, who was very helpful to my Mom because she was feeling really lost through all of this. Personally, I felt my spirituality blossom at the Dobson Home and I am very grateful that we found this place because my loved ones deserve the Best care. Miss you, Dad.

My family & I are forever grateful for the incredible Hospice care that my beautiful mom received during her final week on Earth. They cared for her with dignity and honor. God Bless the Nurses, caregivers, CNAs, doctors and management team at the Dobson Home! We appreciate everyone going above and beyond our expectations. Everyone was so kind, reassuring, and cared for my mom as if she was their family member. When we thanked the nurses, they all said it is their honor to care for her and they love working at the Dobson Home. We felt so welcome being there and were so comfortable visiting at all hours. I so appreciate & cherish being able to spend the night next to my mom. The nurses explained every process of this journey & brought us comfort with coffee, tea, water, smiles, caring words and honor. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ? We love the Dobson Home family so much!!

Words cannot adequately describe the wonderful, gentle care my husband Bruce received during his final days of life. The nurses and staff were so kind and answered his every need. The respect and love they showed made him feel warm, loved and so at peace as he prepared to leave to leave this lifetime.

This place is so beautiful, it is clean, the staff is great and a full time nurse in house. Has a playground for the kids when visiting and great living space for families to get together. The rooms are homelike, a perfect place for your love ones. Thank you Hospice of the Valley from me and my family.

The staff here is amazing. My grandmother was only here for a couple of days and she passed so peacefully. All the staff here treated us like family and treated my nana with such love and respect. They were so comforting in such a difficult time. The house is beautiful and clean. My grandmother was treated with much respect until the end. Thank you to everyone at Dobson Home. We will be eternally grateful for your care.

I 100% recommend this facility. The nurses were absolutely amazing. They provided top of the line care for my mother. She was extremely sick and was only there a day but they came in regularly to check on my mom while keeping her clean and comfortable. There were no restrictions on hours or number of visitors. My father was able to stay with my mom overnight and she was able to be surrounded by family when she passed. The facility was extremely clean and welcoming. I just can't express how impressed I am with the level of care they provided to my mom. They made this experience as comfortable for my mom and family as possible

Dobson Home is a beautiful home with beautiful people/staff. My best friend died there; I could not have dreamed of a better place for her to be at the end. So many wonderful, caring people there- from the admin, the nursing staff, the doctor. These people really understand death, and helped me to understand, as well. This is a special place. ?
