Hospice of the Western Reserve

Comfort & Hope for Patients and their Families

With President Jimmy Carter announcing his decision to enter hospice care, hospice has found its way into the current public discourse. Hospice is a relatively new discipline in the health care field, only having been in the United States since the 1970s. Its recent arrival, combined with a focus on end-of-life care, has created a significant stigma towards the word “hospice.” President Carter’s announcement has provided space for health-care professionals to further discuss the definition of hospice and its transformative effect on a patient’s end-of-life journey.

HOLISTIC SUPPORT

Hospice focuses on comfort for patients nearing the end of their lives, alleviating pain and physical symptoms rather than curing them through further diagnostics and procedures. Hospice also provides holistic support to both the patient and the family, including their spiritual and emotional needs. To qualify for hospice care, patients must have a

life expectancy of six months or less, though they can continue to receive care if they live longer.

Hospice of the Western Reserve has provided quality hospice care to Northern Ohio residents for over 40 years. Our mission is to foster choice in end-of-life care, so we provide our services in many settings. This can include one of our inpatient units, a skilled nursing or assisted living facility, or even the comfort of a patient’s home, which was President Carter’s choice in his home state of Georgia.

There are thousands of hospice agencies throughout the United States. It can be overwhelming to choose where to begin. We suggest evaluating the enrichment programs of the agency, including art and music therapy, as well as the comprehensive grief services for families and loved ones. Staff who are certified in their specialty also make a tremendous difference in the quality of care provided. Each hospice agency covered by Medicare has its quality scores available at medicare.gov.

Most hospice patients are Medicare/ Medicaid-eligible and have their services fully covered. Commercial insurers often have hospice benefits available in their plans. For those with limited or no coverage, it is important to select a hospice agency willing to sit and talk through available options.

Hospice of the Western Reserve has a Financial Resource Advocate who provides this information to families across Northern Ohio.

A common misconception of hospice is that it means “giving up” or that the care involved hastens death. Hospice only hastens comfort, and many families who have walked with Hospice of the Western Reserve wish that they started their journey with the agency sooner.

Hospice doesn’t mean “giving up.” Hospice gives hope. Hospice gives hope to those who are grieving. Hospice gives hope to families who want to spend quality time with their loved ones, free from pain and suffering. Hospice means giving hope to patients seeking peace in their end-of-life journey.

Death is part of life. Millions of friends, neighbors and coworkers have experienced hospice. When starting on this path, seek out those who have traveled here before. These intimate and educational conversations, as well as the public ones that President Carter has helped to start, can help end the stigma of hospice and open the possibilities of care for our loved ones.

Hospice of the Western Reserve is the premiere hospice and palliative care provider for 14 counties in Northern Ohio. For more information, visit hospicewr.org or call 216-383-2222.

DISCO INFERNO

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

(Burnin')

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct

The heat was on, rising to the top

Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot I heard somebody say

disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down y'all

(Burn baby burn) disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
