Hospice is not a place, it is a philosophy of care. Hospice professionals provide comfort and support to ensure the highest quality of life possible for both the patient and their family.

When you or a loved one receives a life-altering diagnosis, you may not know where to turn. It can be one of the most challenging experiences you face. But you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you just got the news or have been dealing with a chronic illness, Hospice of the Western Reserve can help.

Hospice and palliative care programs focus on relieving pain, easing emotional and psychological concerns, planning for your future, creating a legacy and coping with grief. Care can be started from the moment of diagnosis with our palliative care program and is available regardless of disease, age or ability to pay. Learn more about hospice and palliative care, and why Hospice of the Western Reserve should be your companion when facing a serious illness.
