Our Story...
Stoneridge Hospice was born in the living room of our beloved grandma’s house in February 2020. 7 years prior, while on hospice, we lost our Grandma to lung cancer. Reminiscing about how much we missed Grandma, and how proud she was that we both became nurses, my aunt and I were discussing our nursing careers. The challenges we were facing as ER nurses who didn’t have the time we wish we had with our patients was heavy on our hearts. After quietly listening, my uncle challenged us to make the dream of freedom to provide the kind of care we felt our patients deserved, a reality!
The three of us began to brainstorm options that would allow us control of the type of nurses we wanted to be. Having been in the ER for many years and owning multiple Home Health Agencies since 2009, we welcomed a change. The discussion about Grandma and our memories of her at end of life lead us to investigate further into hospice. Research quickly affirmed that the mere mention of hospice care should not be synonymous with imminent death. Then and there, we solidified our mission.
Stoneridge Hospice would be different...
- We would educate.
- We would advocate.
- We would cultivate.
Cultivate a culture of compassion and empathy. Cultivate a reputation of trust and excellence. Cultivate a team of dedicated and experienced professionals.
Stoneridge would provide personalized care of the same caliber we would expect for our own family. We were licensed by AZDHS in June of 2020 and Medicare certified in November 2020. It has been an experience; one we wouldn’t trade!
I am proud to say Stoneridge has flourished and grown. Our team is attentive and dedicated and individually aligned with our mission and values as a company. We have been truly blessed in helping patients and families through this intimate stage in their journey. We have been forever changed by the privilege to do what we do, and we look forward to serving patients and families for many years to come.
