This is not the type of place anyone wants to review - if you are spending time here, it usually…read moremeans a loved one is terminally ill. 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.
