But she has the nerve to say just give him the pills every 4 hrs so he just lays there and sleeps all the time even if he's not in pain . Wow. So he can lay there and hurry up and die!!!!!???? He's going slowly but at least he's still talking being funny as he always had been. I don't take medicine if I'm not in pain why would he? Ridiculous she's been told NO about many things but she keeps pushing it insisting. NO MEANS NO.

It got to the point where multiple family members had to stay at night to sleep in shifts. He is constantly up and down and it has become to difficult for the family to manage. Crisis care was called in to assist with the transition. Most of the nurses were extremely helpful and understanding. That was until Sara showed up to "evaluate" the need to be here. Sara showed up and did not even introduce herself to the family. She sat in her car for, I don't know how long. As my step father would move from room to room she would stay in a separate room and assisted very little with anything. She had minimum involvement with anything besides her phone and computer. She advised the decision was being made to cancel their care because his symptoms were manageable. The nurse who was here the previous 12 hours could only show it being managed for 1/4 of the time she was here. Sara informed us that doctor Donnard (not sure if the spelling is correct) was making the call. When asked to speak to the doctor she said the best she could do was try to have them call us. When asked for the doctors boss Sara replied she does not know. This has been a horrendous experience on top of the years spent going through this. The company has advised they will be sending another nurse. Hopefully this one has more tact and professionalism than Sara. Will update review based on visit. *Update* The nurse sent after has been amazing. She was attentive and responsive to the needs of my step-father. It appears the issue was with the individual nurse and not the company.

At the beginning of their time with Helen, I would get an update call every two weeks to let me know how she was doing even if I had been there to see her that day. Toward the end, there were daily visits and daily updates unless I happened to visit at the very same time. Then the update was done in person. Beyond the visits by the nurses, Helen was also visited by the Southern Care Chaplin which she also enjoyed. The conversation and attention was important to her--and to me. Their caring concern and helpfulness of losing a loved one very slowly via dementia eased many of my concerns, and they always answered my questions. I cannot thank them enough both for my sister and for myself. An excellent, caring organization that I would recommend to anyone.

Our family spent four days here with our loved one before she passed. While the experience was a very sad one, the facility and staff are truly remarkable. The facility features 12 private, very comfortable rooms. Each room is set up much like a hotel with the exception of having a hospital bed and basic medical needs such as oxygen. Each room had a huge window to let in light and bird feeder just outside to entertain patients and family members alike. Aside from the private rooms there were several comfortable sitting areas with couches, TVs, games and gas fireplaces. The cafeteria offered meals to patients and guests three times per day. Additionally there was a small kitchen area available if you wished to prepare some food yourself. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate were always available as were small snack items such as muffins, brownies or toast in the morning. The facility even offered a computer room and free wifi if there was a need to get online. There are no visiting hours here. You can spend all day and all night with your loved one. No limits on the number of guests. We were even offered cots since we were spending nights at the facility. The grounds around the facility were park-like, beautiful and well maintained. There were two sunrooms, one at the end of each wing, if you wanted to enjoy the outdoors without going outside. The outdoor area featured several sitting areas as well as a short walking path and a playground for kids. The staff here is simply wonderful. Everyone is a volunteer with the exception of the nurses. The nurses provided the most caring and dignified care to someone nearing the end of life. I especially have to call out Liz and Dora who not only took care of our loved one, but also provided compassion and true caring to the family as well. I just don't have the words to express my true appreciation and gratitude for making a difficult situation as comfortable as possible.

I have nothing but the best to say about Hospice of North Central Ohio. When my father's doctor…read moreinformed me dad had a few weeks left, at most, I decided I wanted to have him made as comfortable as possible and called in Hospice. He was at the Good Shepherd nursing home and Hospice took care of him and his case, completely, while he was there. They were very caring and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Every question was treated as an important one. When you're dealing with a situation like this, you really want to be treated with some level of respect and understanding. Navigating everything surrounding a loved one who is near end-of-life is difficult at best, confusing at worst, and having experts there to help you get through it all is worth its weight in gold. Right up to my father's passing at Good Shepherd, Hospice was there providing us all of their care, support, and help as well as keeping dad comfortable as possible. Special thanks to P.J., the Hospice nurse who most closely interacted with us on dad's case. If you find yourself in a situation where a loved one is at end-of-life, or at least near it, you won't find any finer group of people than Hospice of North Central Ohio. Many thanks for their services and support and I would recommend them to anyone.

The nursing staff was responsive to his every need and checked on him frequently. The pastoral care he received was equally wonderful. Sister Margaret Mary, in particular, was so warm and loving toward him, and I was touched by her kindness. I'm sure she brought him much comfort! In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by how the staff took such good care of my family and I while we kept vigil in my dad's room. Between my brother, my mom and myself, we never left his side on the weekend he passed. The staff saw to it that I had a pillow and blanket to keep me comfortable while I slept there overnight, and they also brought me a phone charger when I needed it. One day, a staff member cooked my mom a grilled cheese sandwich just for her, because she knew she needed to eat. They promised us they would do anything they could for us, and they certainly did! When my dad passed away, we were all given a hug by our wonderful nurse, and given reassurance that he was no longer in pain. I could tell that one of the other nurses present was fighting back tears, which touched me, as well, knowing that I was not alone in my grief. I really just can't say enough good things about the wonderful people working there who make it their mission to provide comfort and care to their patients and their families. And the facility, itself, is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. Nobody wants to have to bring their loved one to a hospice, but if you should find yourself looking for a facility to provide palliative care for your family member, you really couldn't ask for a place better than Holy Family.
