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.

From the owner: At the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home, we offer no-cost accommodations for terminally ill individuals with…read morelimited financial or physical means. Our Home is a safe, comfortable environment for people with nowhere else to go.

My mom passed away here after an 18 day stay. We couldn't have asked for a better facility for…read moreher. It is a beautiful facility and rooms are well-appointed. There were three nice chairs and a sofa for visitors in her room. There is a tv and they will bring you a CD player or Bluetooth speaker for music. There are family bathrooms with toiletries for visitors. The current Covid restrictions allow for four guests (the same four throughout her stay) which was the most generous policy we found and we are so thankful that both my brother and I could visit her. The staff here is the absolute best thing and they were OUTSTANDING! They all were wonderful but we saw a lot of Shane and Erin and I absolutely loved both of them. Tamara kept Mom clean and her bed comfortable. Donna and Peter were there with me when Mom passed and were very comforting. The entire staff was good - the RNs, LPNs, and aides all. There is also a chaplain if needed and she was very nice to talk to as well. They kept Mom clean, warm, and out of pain. They brought her fresh water to sip or even a coke. She wasn't really interested in eating. Moving Mom here was the absolute best decision we could have made and I'm so grateful.

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.

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.

Seton Specialty Hospital is in my words one great hospital. I spent 2 months there. after having…read moreissues after open hart surgery. The staff were out standing, Meds on-time, treatment by Nurses ,doctors and tech's was beyond the call of duty. Nurses stationed right outside my door. Answering the call button in moments, not ignoring me and my needs. I was in all the area's of the hospital during my time there and I was treated very very well. and I was on Medicaid which in many hospitals means that you are not top priority. The therapy staff fought for me to stay longer and worked with me to get me so I was able to walk out on my own power. And so instead of going to a long-term rehab facility(Nursing-home) I was able to go home . Thanks to the staff at Seton Specialty Hospital I am able to walk up and down stairs and get around my home with ease.I would recommend Seton Specialty Hospital to anyone. James W Riley Anderson,In

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.

I get several weekly visits from nurses. And aides which include supplies and getting medicines. I am given baths,washings. The staff works with us to fit our schedule too. My wife who was having to deal with so much by figuring it out on her own is greatly relieved to have this staff offering direction, providing materials and services...she would probably give them an even higher rating. I like that they come to my home and l feel comfortable asking their opinions. It is nice not having to worry about getting bed sores or other items that can become serious if not monitored.

I cannot say enough about the people who I met at Compassus. They are incredibly loving and kind…read moreand care so deeply about their job - really a "calling." 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.
