Hospice of Central Ohio partners with all area nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Hospice considers the nursing home staff to be a part of the patient's family and, when appropriate, includes the staff in the circle of its care and concern.

Hospice does not replace nursing home care, but rather complements it by providing the same palliative services that our home patients receive:

• Scheduled visits by professional care staff and volunteers
• 24-hour on-call support
• Consult/educational inservices for nursing home staff in the areas of pain and symptom management.
