My Aunt was discharged from St Vincent Hospital May 23, 2022 to St Vincent Hospice…read more This program didn't work for her as she was not terminal, however, has a wound on her heel that was slowly healing from surgery. There was no further care St Vincent could do. St Vincent Hospice is a nice place, friendly Nurses and all, however, little patient care for those that are not truly terminal. It's all about the comfort and easing them towards death. We were not about that for my Aunt. The one Nurse emphasized the need to sign the DNR=Do Not Resuscitate form. My cousin refused. We were looking at hope for her to heal well and get back to living (my Aunt's wishes). We had her transitioned to Home Health from Hospice. It's just the beginning so far, however, there always light at the end of the tunnel. We continue to pray and have God lead the way with Jesus interceding on our behalf. With God all things are possible!!! Amen. Not knocking down this place. It may be ok for some people. It may work for them, however, for us, my family. It did not work. We are on the road towards recovery along with hope.

First off, let me say I'm so sorry you're in a place where you're researching hospices. I wanted to…read morewrite a positive review ASAP, because the day my father was being transferred from home hospice care to the St. Vincent facility, I did a quick google search and nearly had a panic attack after seeing the bad reviews on Yelp. COVID-19 note: As of the end of March 2020, they have a limit of 1 visitor per patient--not 1 person at a time, 1 person period. It's really unfortunate, but obviously necessary. You'll be screened at the door (questionnaire about travel and symptoms, then they'll take your temperature using a forehead thermometer) before you can come in. Obviously there are many parts about a terminally ill parent going into hospice that are awful, but it had nothing to do with the hospice or their staff. Everyone we encountered---doctors, nurses and CNAs---were all amazing. They were great about making sure that my father wasn't in pain, and did so quickly. We never had to wait a long time after pressing the call button for someone to come in, and they were always helpful in suggesting medications that might help his symptoms. My dad was there for 6 days before he died, and I can't say enough about how thankful I am that he was able to be free of pain in his last days. Erin, MJ, Denise and Jess were particularly wonderful. The facility is very quiet. No one is hooked up to beeping monitors, and there aren't any overhead speaker announcements like you hear in hospitals. Patients can watch TV or you can play music for them. Each room has French doors that look out onto a peaceful courtyard with a pond, so you'll often see ducks/geese. There are birdfeeders outside each room as well--volunteers normally fill these, but they're not right now. We brought some of our own birdseed and filled them ourselves. Some amenities I can think of off the top of my head: * family bathrooms with showers. They have towels/washcloths and there are baskets of toiletries if you need something and have forgotten yours. * refreshment station - Coke/Sprite etc. fountain drinks and the really good hospital ice, plus coffee and tea are available for patients and visitors. * they don't have a cafeteria for family/visitors, but you're welcome to leave and bring back food (you don't have to get re-screened if you leave and come back right away) or get DoorDash delivery. * the chapel and other social/meeting areas are currently closed. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions, and again, I'm sorry you're even reading this review in the first place.

They were attentive to our family's needs and provided top notch care for my husband. We couldn't have been more pleased with the care they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs care at the end of life.

My experience at Paradigm Hospice was disappointing and ultimately unsustainable. While the…read moreorganization promotes teamwork and patient-centered care, the reality was often characterized by poor communication, siloed departments, and limited collaboration between disciplines. Team members frequently worked in isolation rather than as a cohesive interdisciplinary team. Leadership felt distant and disconnected from the day-to-day challenges faced by field staff. There also appeared to be favoritism within management, with certain employees receiving preferential treatment while others were held to different standards. This created frustration and undermined morale. The onboarding process felt rushed and poorly organized. Those responsible for onboarding seemed more focused on checking boxes than ensuring employees understood the organization's processes, culture, and expectations. As a result, the transition into the role was far more difficult than it needed to be. Benefits were also expensive compared to what was offered, adding further strain for employees already dealing with the demands of hospice work. Support staff and non-clinical disciplines frequently felt overlooked and undervalued. Their contributions were often treated as secondary despite being important components of holistic hospice care. This lack of respect for all disciplines contributed to a workplace culture where collaboration was difficult and trust was limited. The leadership structure also raised concerns. Family members of the founder and close personal associates appeared to occupy significant leadership positions, creating the perception that relationships were sometimes valued over experience and qualifications. This made it difficult to have confidence in organizational decisions and long-term direction. Hospice care requires strong leadership, collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to supporting both patients and staff. Unfortunately, my experience at Paradigm Hospice fell short in these areas. Advice to Management: Invest in experienced, qualified leaders who can unite teams, improve communication, and create a culture of trust. Leadership positions should be filled based on demonstrated competence and experience rather than family relationships or personal connections. Additionally, improve the onboarding process so new employees are genuinely prepared and supported to succeed from day one.

The staff was just incredible- I don't even know where to begin! Everyone was so kind and patient. They explained everything, and made the process as comfortable as possible. I will always remember their kindness. I know that my mom was well taken care of in her final days. I couldn't have asked for a better scenario during those difficult days.

Let's be honest. Nobody wants to "need" a hospice. It means that you're dealing with end-of-life…read moreissues. In most cases, this will be for yourself or for a loved one. In my case, my father had been admitted to Hendricks Regional Health and was in ICU when we began to realize that serious decisions needed to be made. As his only surviving immediate relative, I was tasked with these decisions while also acknowledging that he was still coherent enough to participate and we'd also previously had discussions pertaining to this. My father wanted to die in his own home. This was a difficult task because hospice requires someone living with the person 24/7 as a sort of primary caregiver. Hospice is a support unless, of course, you actually go into a facility setting. My nephew had been staying with my father, primarily because he needed support himself. However, he'd been keeping a closer eye on my father and was there when he went into a health crisis. The decision was made to try to honor my father's wishes - my nephew would stay in the home and I would provide logistical, financial, and physical support. Despite living about two hours from my father's Putnam County home, we were going to try. Life's Journey came as one of the recommended options from Hendricks. They had a document indicating many of the options. It was clear that the social worker was quite familiar - pretty reasonable since Life's Journey is actually Avon-based. We contacted them - they couldn't come out that night (they usually do) as the intake person was ill, however, we made an appointment and intake came as scheduled. Kudos to Terri for being a strong presence and representative for Life's Journey. We discussed a myriad of issues. Once the decision is made for hospice, it moves quickly. You go from medicating to cure to medicating to comfort. The hospital really becomes irrelevant as major interventions are no longer appropriate. My father was discharged by home with ambulance transport. That same day, a nurse visited the home for a long (about three hours) appointment. I believe her name was Becky - she was amazing with my nephew, a 24-year-old with little caregiving history. He really took to it. We didn't know what to expect. Some said he may not make it to my scheduled appointment with a lawyer a little over a month later. Some said 3-6 months. Hospice starts off with typically 2 nursing and 2 health aide appointments weekly along with chaplaincy support as needed. It increases as one's health declines. Life's Journey offers home hospice, facility-based hospice (in Avon), and palliative care. In some ways, doing a Yelp review is weird. It's hard being "happy" or "unhappy" with care. Generally, I was pleased. Little things bothered me - an aide who no called/no showed twice, a chaplain who never visited despite having been requested to do so, and a last conversation that, if as reported, bugs me. My father ended up passing in a little over two weeks. The nurses were for the most part amazing, the health aide fine when she showed up, and I appreciated that the bereavement director visited my nephew after my father's death (upon my request). We received a lovely gift, a lantern representing light, after my father's death (it went to the funeral home - ironically, arriving late. Somewhat humorously, the batteries died in three days - I started calling them hospice batteries). When my father started his serious decline, Life's Journey responded quickly. A nurse was in the house within a couple hours and agreed that he was declining. They increased his visits, however, it would only be 48 hours later and he would pass. This was a good experience that fell a bit shy of what I'd hoped. For the most part, I'm very grateful as it allowed my father the dignity of death in his home while staying comfortable and being supported. Little touches could have improved the process greatly, however, this was a good experience at one of the hardest times of my life. I would be more inclined to recommend for those in the Hendricks County area - I'm a little less inclined for those in surrounding counties and especially the rural ones as I think that impacted presence. Overall, I'm pleased and grateful. With a few tweaks, this could have been an exemplary experience.

Initially, we started our journey with Heartland Hospice in Virginia at the hospital. They assisted me with getting my grandmother to Indianapolis Indiana by plane safely with oxygen. Once we arrived in Fishers, the local office took over her care. They not only took care of my grandmother, but also me. At one point, my grandmother was transitioning and my husband was admitted to the hospital during the same time. I was a wreck. My hospice nurse, Dawn was amazing! She ensured my grandmother was taken care of through respite care so I could focus on my husband. In addition, she encouraged me to take care of myself during that difficult time. Every person I came in contact with at Heartland was heaven sent. Even after my grandmother passed, they continued to check on me and follow up. They will always hold a special place in my heart.

My husband just left Seton a couple of days ago. All in all, I appreciated the care he received…read more Some of his specialists were excellent and I feel they helped save his life. My only complaint is Jennifer, the case manager, telling me our only option to transfer to his next level of care was to go to Allison Pointe. The day after transfer, I went there to be with him and see how well he was settled. I can't believe Jennifer is not aware of how inept that place is. After one day and 2 nights in that horrible place, I was able to make several phone calls and get him transferred to another facility. The facility he is in now says they never heard from Jennifer, although she told me they denied him when she checked with them first. I believe this woman has her own agenda, possibly getting monetary benefits from the lowest ranking facilities. She is not to be trusted. Seton would be much better if they replaced her with a caring individual.

U would push the nurse button, maybe 15 minutes later someone showed up. I started cleaning her myself multiple times. They would use the same gloves and mess with her trach. They would leave her in bed unless you asked for her to be put in a chair. I was told multiple times they don't have the staff to put her on the toilet every time she had to go. They told me to let her go in her diaper. Sometimes she would get cream on her bottom other times not. If I questioned it, they did it. There wasn't any therapy until the week she was leaving, If she was tired or sleeping, she missed her therapy. Their only goal was for her to have the trach removed. 2 days before she went to RHI her breakfast arrived. The thickener wasn't in her juice or tea. She could have aspirated and gotten pneumonia over it. Being on a trach she should have had pureed foods. She was given chopped. RHI couldn't believe it. Very dangerous. Some of the nurses work 6 or 7 days a week for 12 hour shifts. I don't feel like they can give good or great care. I feel like she didn't get the care she needed. All that was done was medicine and diaper changes.

We loved the way that each person took the time to not only get to know our mom who had cancer, but also my sister and I as we were going through this terrible time of caregiving for our mom whose cancer was terminal. Luanne and Heather are 2 absolutely incredible hospice nurses who cared and loved and gave so much time to us when we needed to ask questions or just talk about this process. They were able to guide my sister and I through each step of the dying process and what it would look like and feel like. They gave us the tools to do our best, and were available 24/7 literally!!! They felt more like an extension of our little family over the few weeks we had them visiting us than people who were there to do a job. They were so comforting and gave us hugs and words of affirmation, saying we were doing an amazing job with this most challenging time in our lives. Christopher is the chaplain and was so kind and caring and compassionate when he came to talk with our mom. He was soft-spoken and not overbearing like some pastors can be. Christopher was comforting for her AND for us. In fact, we were so honored to have him conduct our mom's memorial service, as well. He sat down with us for several hours and learned about who she was and what her life meant to us and others. He got a sense of her as a person and remembered what she said her favorite verses were. He gave such a wonderful message during the memorial service and it was so lovely. We couldn't have asked for a better chaplain/pastor to have spoken about her at her memorial. Compassus is so wonderful and the people who work at this hospice are incredible, loving, kind, compassionate, and so good at what they do. You will not regret using this hospice service at all. Thank you to those who were at our service at all times of the day and night and for making this challenging time in our lives so much more meaningful and peaceful.
