Many people think that hospice is what you do when there is "nothing more" that can be done for an illness. Hospice is the "something more" that can be done for the patient and family when the illness cannot be cured. It is a concept based on comfort oriented care.
Bella Care Hospice is a compassionate team of doctors, nurses, social workers, bereavement and spiritual coordinators, volunteers, and therapists who meet medical, physical, and emotional needs of patients, communities, and families.Even more than 25 years after its introduction to this country, hospice is a mystery to many Americans.

Hospice is a set of services that we all may need someday -- if not for ourselves, for our family or friends. While death is not an option for any of us, we do have choices about the services we use at the end of life. Hospice is undoubtedly the best option in the last months of life because it offers a whole variety of benefits, not only to those of us who are dying, but also to those we leave behind.
You are the leader of your care team! Your Hospice Aides are experts in making daily tasks easier - they help you maintain dignity and independence through the simple but essential things like bathing, dressing and other every day tasks. Your Doctors continue to care for you. You can choose to keep your relationship with your family physician, who works with your hospice care team.
I love working with staff that share the same passion for the care they give at the end of life. Helping Patients have quality of life and dignity during the disease process. Coworkers are like family; everyone truly has a hospice heart and does their job to the very best of their abilities. Management is approachable & fair, listens, works "with" the staff rather than "over" the staff.
Each year, more than 450 thousand hospice volunteers give more than 20 million hours of service. From spending time with patients and families to providing administrative assistance, volunteers are instrumental in the life of every hospice. Most volunteers come to hospice because of personal experience with seeing the quality of care that hospice provides at the end of life.

They leave your loved one high and dry while they're actively dying. They do not assist in any way. They don't show up until after your love one is deceased. And they do not provide any care to your loved one while receiving services such as showers or any kind of comfort care. They claim they "assist" the facility with your loved ones care but they do not show up to do anything hardly at all! I guess the only thing they do is collect insurance money.

Our loved one died a week ago after a five year illness...the last eight months being a patient of Bella Care. They kept her clean and comfortable; however, we still haven't heard from anyone at Bella Care to offer condolences. We are fortunate to have a good support system, but what about a caregiver who needs grief support services? This company should do what their website says it does and always have a bereavement counselor contact the caregiver left behind within a day or two of their loved one's death (We were told during the admission process that someone would be there during the final

I would like to express my gratitude to one of the LPN, that took care of my Step-Mother while she was at Legacy in Xenia, Ohio. She was so considerate & caring to all our family that I wanted to tell her how much we appreciated it. Her name is Kimberly Smith LPN....I was one of the daughters that she met during my step-Mom's stay there. Kimberly… treated us like we were family to her. She is a excellent nurse & person.My step-Mother passed away on Wed. August 24th.Again I wanted to say thanks for all of the people who helped with her while she was there in her final days. May God

The staff are some of the most caring people you could hope for. The equipment was all clean and easy to work with. They truly make themselves available at all hours. I know because I called alot. They were patient and comforting. This was the hardest time of our lives and they were there every step with us.

I find it very odd that a local nursing facility recommends this company, since it is based out of gahanna. That was actually part of the problem when we (and the facility) called them (my grandpa being in his last 30 hours). We called at 6pm, and several times there after, and finally at 10pm the nurse showed up. Guess if you want reliable end of life care....go local!!
