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 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.

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.

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.....!!!!!

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 put a review on Seton website. She has a brain injury. They would leave her lay in soiled…read morediapers. She would finger paint with it. 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.

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.

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.
