Hospice of Morrow County is here for you whether you live locally or in surrounding communities. We help people manage the final phases of life and live each day fully, with dignity and comfort.

Typically, when a person has six months or so to live, his or her goals are to live at home, stay free of pain, have personal wishes upheld, be treated with respect, make special memories and be remembered by loved ones. The Hospice of Morrow County team will give you and your family the help and guidance needed during serious illness, old age and approaching death.  

A person becomes eligible for hospice care when his or her own doctor and the hospice medical director agree that, given the nature and progression of an illness or condition, life expectancy may be six months or less. We help people live as long as possible. When patients live longer than six months and still qualify for hospice, Hospice of Morrow County continues service without interruption.

When people become patients, our clinical team works quickly to make them as pain-free and as comfortable as possible. Even with patients who are very sick or frail they find that, with hospice care, each day can be lived more fully and with purpose. 

All of our services are provided with little or no cost to families or patients. Expenses are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, the V.A. and most insurance plans. Everyone in need of hospice care, regardless of financial or healthcare resources, receives our help; no one is ever left uncomfortable or alone.

Since 1992 in Morrow County there has been a team of caring professionals on hand for each patient, caregiver and family member who needs hospice care. Expert nurses, home health aides, a social worker and chaplain visit regularly or as often as requested.

Early each morning our teams gather at the office for a status meeting. Soon after, they leave our Mount Gilead office and drive wherever our patients reside. Hospice of Morrow County teams visit hospice patients in their own homes and even in nursing facilities giving extra care, attention, comfort and pain relief.

Everything the Hospice of Morrow County staff does for patients, their friends and families is done with kindness, compassion and caring. Our goals are always to help your loved one live comfortably through the final months of life and accomplish what is important for them.
