Is it time for hospice?

Whether you are caring for an elderly loved one, need help in your own home, or you’re anticipating the need for hospice care, Gardens of Western Reserve Home Care & Hospice can help.

“Our flexibility is based on your needs, whether that’s a few hours a week or 24/7 care,” co-founder Hanna Schindley says. “This includes hospice and respite care when the family leaves town or needs a break.”

Gardens of Western Reserve was created with the understanding that home is best when it comes to eldercare. “Families often question when to start with help, introducing care to a loved one and the hospice process,” Hanna says. “We provide answers, whether you’re ready for services now or use us when the time comes.” 

Here are a few common hospice questions that can help:

Q: Do I have to send my loved one to a hospice facility when they are ready for hospice care?

A: No. At Gardens of Western Reserve, we bring hospice services to wherever the patient calls home, whether that’s a residential home, independent living, skilled nursing facility or assisted living. Our services help the patient stay in familiar surroundings longer.

Q: Is hospice care expensive?

A: Hospice is completely covered under Medicare, Medicaid and most insurances. This can include medications, supplies, equipment and visits from healthcare professionals. 

Q: Is hospice care just for the very end of life?

A: No. Our mission is to facilitate compassionate, dignified and personalized quality resources and benefits that empower our patients to live meaningful, peaceful and comfortable lives for the duration of our services.
