The staff was just incredible- I don't even know where to begin! Everyone was so kind and patient. They explained everything, and made the process as comfortable as possible. I will always remember their kindness. I know that my mom was well taken care of in her final days. I couldn't have asked for a better scenario during those difficult days.

Let's be honest. Nobody wants to "need" a hospice. It means that you're dealing with end-of-life…read moreissues. In most cases, this will be for yourself or for a loved one. In my case, my father had been admitted to Hendricks Regional Health and was in ICU when we began to realize that serious decisions needed to be made. As his only surviving immediate relative, I was tasked with these decisions while also acknowledging that he was still coherent enough to participate and we'd also previously had discussions pertaining to this. My father wanted to die in his own home. This was a difficult task because hospice requires someone living with the person 24/7 as a sort of primary caregiver. Hospice is a support unless, of course, you actually go into a facility setting. My nephew had been staying with my father, primarily because he needed support himself. However, he'd been keeping a closer eye on my father and was there when he went into a health crisis. The decision was made to try to honor my father's wishes - my nephew would stay in the home and I would provide logistical, financial, and physical support. Despite living about two hours from my father's Putnam County home, we were going to try. Life's Journey came as one of the recommended options from Hendricks. They had a document indicating many of the options. It was clear that the social worker was quite familiar - pretty reasonable since Life's Journey is actually Avon-based. We contacted them - they couldn't come out that night (they usually do) as the intake person was ill, however, we made an appointment and intake came as scheduled. Kudos to Terri for being a strong presence and representative for Life's Journey. We discussed a myriad of issues. Once the decision is made for hospice, it moves quickly. You go from medicating to cure to medicating to comfort. The hospital really becomes irrelevant as major interventions are no longer appropriate. My father was discharged by home with ambulance transport. That same day, a nurse visited the home for a long (about three hours) appointment. I believe her name was Becky - she was amazing with my nephew, a 24-year-old with little caregiving history. He really took to it. We didn't know what to expect. Some said he may not make it to my scheduled appointment with a lawyer a little over a month later. Some said 3-6 months. Hospice starts off with typically 2 nursing and 2 health aide appointments weekly along with chaplaincy support as needed. It increases as one's health declines. Life's Journey offers home hospice, facility-based hospice (in Avon), and palliative care. In some ways, doing a Yelp review is weird. It's hard being "happy" or "unhappy" with care. Generally, I was pleased. Little things bothered me - an aide who no called/no showed twice, a chaplain who never visited despite having been requested to do so, and a last conversation that, if as reported, bugs me. My father ended up passing in a little over two weeks. The nurses were for the most part amazing, the health aide fine when she showed up, and I appreciated that the bereavement director visited my nephew after my father's death (upon my request). We received a lovely gift, a lantern representing light, after my father's death (it went to the funeral home - ironically, arriving late. Somewhat humorously, the batteries died in three days - I started calling them hospice batteries). When my father started his serious decline, Life's Journey responded quickly. A nurse was in the house within a couple hours and agreed that he was declining. They increased his visits, however, it would only be 48 hours later and he would pass. This was a good experience that fell a bit shy of what I'd hoped. For the most part, I'm very grateful as it allowed my father the dignity of death in his home while staying comfortable and being supported. Little touches could have improved the process greatly, however, this was a good experience at one of the hardest times of my life. I would be more inclined to recommend for those in the Hendricks County area - I'm a little less inclined for those in surrounding counties and especially the rural ones as I think that impacted presence. Overall, I'm pleased and grateful. With a few tweaks, this could have been an exemplary experience.

We have found Cumberland Trace to be the perfect place that she now calls home. The staff has been very caring and compassionate. It's comforting to know that someone is around, if she needs help. My mother has found it a wonderful place to make friends, as there are activities that you can join if you would like to. We can't say enough positive things about our experience thus far. Our thanks to all who have helped this be such a wonderful and positive move for our mother.

Creekside Health and Rehabilitation was a huge disappointment to our family. Our sister's initial…read morestay in the rehab wing was okay, not great and not quite subpar. Due to her health restrictions we were forced to make the decision to admit her as a resident. We greatly regret that decision. The majority of the nursing staff was dismissive of her health needs to the degree that vital medication was not dispensed in a timely manner. She was frequently left sitting in excrement for hours, once almost 24 hours, resulting in wounds on her buttocks and back. Her dietary restrictions were regularly ignored, resulting in the family ordering food being delivered to her. Unfortunately we were operating from out of state so we couldn't monitor her care in person. She has since been released to hospice care where her aides are appalled by the condition her many wounds. The greatest travesty is the lack of oversight for a location recommended by Medicare & Medicaid agencies. The management staff need to be held accountable. If at all possible, avoid this place at all costs.
