A recent survey by the National Hospice Foundation found that Americans listed among their top 10 concerns (for a family member with a diagnosis of less than six months to live) "The patient's ability to be cared for and die in his/her own home or a family member's home."

Hospice of Central Ohio strives to care for patients in the setting of their choice. Hospice care support often can assist families and caregivers to keep patients at home.

The Hospice Team consists of trained professionals and volunteers providing high-quality palliative (comfort-focused) care. Hospice provides scheduled visits by professional staff as well as 24-hour, 7-day a week on-call support.
