Upon opening the new residential facility in Spring 2001, we will offer individualized care in a comfortable setting for all terminally ill patients and their families. Since 1984 our hospice program has provided in-home services to help patients and their loved ones accept the transition from life to death, but some patients and their families need more.
Residential hospice is a compassionate answer to the needs of the dying.
It is an option for patients who do not have family members at home who are able to be their primary caregivers, or patients who require a higher level of professional care than can be provided in a private home. Construction has begun at 9511 Pleasant Valley Road in Parma on the site of the old Pleasant Valley Lake Park surrounded by wooded grounds and the tranquility of nature. This facility will have 10 private patient rooms, a kitchen, living and dining rooms, sacred spaces to express spirituality and private areas for patients and families as well as additional accommodations for family overnight stays. In this special haven, patients will be made as comfortable as possible, and family and friends can spend time with their loved one without the added stress of providing the physical care. To sustain this vital program in our community we depend on your help.
