HIKE HOSPICE OF CINCINNATI – September 8, 2018, Summit Park, Blue Ash – Click Here
A personal crisis in your family — like a terminal or life-threatening illness — can leave you feeling alone in making important decisions and wishing you had someone to help you understand what lies ahead. For 40 years, Hospice of Cincinnati has helped families create the best possible and most meaningful end-of-life experience.
We are here for you 24/7.
What Kind of Care Do We Offer?
We provide 90% of our care in a home or nursing home.
About 10% of our care is provided in our Inpatient Care Centers.
We provide short-term care in one of four Inpatient Care Centers to manage uncontrolled symptoms that cannot be handled in another setting. When stable, patients usually transfer to where they live. Our centers are located in Blue Ash, Anderson, College Hill and Hamilton.
We offer comprehensive bereavement programs for adults and children.
- Adult Support Groups (click here for a list)
- Group meeting rooms for adult bereavement sessions
- Smaller meeting rooms for traditional one-on-one grief counseling sessions for adults and children
- A library of bereavement education materials available to the community
Services are free and available to all, regardless of whether your loved one was cared for by Hospice of Cincinnati.
Fernside — A Center for Grieving Children, an affiliate of Hospice of Cincinnati, is the first comprehensive bereavement program in Greater Cincinnati focusing on children. Fernside is a national leader in providing grief support services and outreach and education to the community and families.
Locations
Most of our families receive hospice care in their home or the place where they live. We also offer four beautiful, home-like Inpatient Care Centers to provide short-term support for patients and families.
