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.

If you know me, you know that I've lived most of my life with a short life expectancy (originally…read moreexpected to not live past 3 days). I'm now over 50. While I wouldn't dare say I'm in good health, I'm still relatively stable for someone living with spina bifida. I live alone. I work. I drive. I Yelp. Quite honestly, I do fairly well. As a chaplain, among the various ways that I serve my community, I'm a strong believer that no human being should ever die alone (I also believe no human should ever live alone - except by choice). I've companioned more than I can count through the end-of-life journey and I spent 10 years working in an emergency room setting dealing with life-and-death on a daily basis. I love, and I mean really love, the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home. Started in 2004, the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home is tucked into a fairly non-descript corner near 47th & Keystone in an office park where it seems it would be wildly out of place. It's not. The staff and volunteers behind the Abbie Bryce Hunt home would tell you that this home is a home. It's not a hospice. It's not a nursing home. It's not a medical facility. It's a home where Indy's low-income and homeless individuals can live out the last chapters of their live in dignity and with respect. The home is free of charge and available to those with a terminally ill diagnosis. Features of the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home include: 1) Private single rooms with semi-private baths, kitchen facilities, living rooms and family room space. 2) Trained staff and volunteers who provide emotional, physical, and spiritual support to each resident, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 3) Medical assistance from community Hospice teams. 4) Full collaboration with other providers of homeless services in the community. 5) Leadership by a committed group of community volunteers, dedicated to providing the means necessary to carry out the mission. The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home accepts referrals from hospitals, hospice programs, charitable organizations including other shelters and social service agencies, physicians, faith-based organizations, family and direct referrals. While I've long been familiar with the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home, it was my recent experience with a friend who lived out his last days here that has prompted me to sit down and write a review praising the home and its staff and volunteers. Much like Legacy House, I'm always in awe of organizations that provide their services at no charge. It's rare. It's desperately needed. I'm even more in awe when those services and supports are of high quality. Quite honestly, the Abbie Hunt Bryce home is exemplary. The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home is always looking for volunteers. They have a community-based board of directors. The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home is a 12-bed home. The parent organization, Morning Light, also runs the nearby Pennwood Place - a 35-room building. Abbie Hunt Bryce used to fall under the real of VNS (Visiting Nurse Service) as it was run by their foundation. However, the foundation separated from VNS and sought an individual identity. It's just a relief that this vital project continues.

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.

Now it's not like I was under the impression that the patches were going to save her but she didn't deserve to suffer her final frew days on earth because of some dumb ass people....I will never forgive them for what the did to my mom and I will tell everyone I know to not use their company.....!!!!!

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.

I have requested multiple times including a patient conference with the management for me to be notified when a nurse sees my mother-in-law. No one ever calls no information is shared. So, I don't know when they are there because my mother-in-law doesn't remember. I have asked an ass and ask and this just doesn't happen. The only communication I get is from their clergy. That service seems to be very good. I cannot recommend this organization.

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.

My family and I were thoroughly disappointed. I thought they'd have professionals who knew how to work with elderly patients with dementia. Nearly every person who showed up was inconsistent and poorly trained. We had one or two staff members who seemed to know what they were doing, but nothing consistent. We left with the feeling that all they cared about was the payment they'd get for having my dad on their patient list. I have no idea how one might consider their services helpful in the least. Since my father's passing they have not reached out to my mother to offer their condolenses or follow up in any way. Need I say more??
