Hospice of Cincinnati Blue Ash Inpatient Care Center

06/22/2026 - We stopped by on 05/29/2026 to visit my significant other's mother, who had arrived earlier that day. Gwen was at the front desk & kindly pointed us in the direction of her room. Nurse Tammy took the time to explain the hospice process, answer our questions & provide an update on how she was doing. She was professional, patient, compassionate & never made us feel rushed. Unfortunately, my significant other's mother passed away on 05/31, much sooner than any of us expected. While those final days were incredibly difficult for our family, we appreciated the kindness, professionalism, & dignity shown by the staff during such a painful time. Hospice is never an easy journey, but the team helped make a heartbreaking situation a little easier to navigate. Thank you to Gwen, Tammy & the rest of the staff for the care & compassion shown to both our loved one & our family.

I cannot express how thankful I am for Hospice. My father was admitted on a Friday and passed on that Sunday. Chava and Melanie were with us every step of the way. They made an unbearable situation a little easier with their experience and compassion.

To the Compassionate Team at Hospice of Cincinnati – Blue Ash, On behalf of our entire family, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the care, dignity, and compassion you showed our beloved mother, Edna Jarrett Terry, during her final days. You supported her — and us — with a level of kindness that we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, your team created an atmosphere of peace and respect. Even though you work in an environment filled with profound emotions and some of life’s hardest moments, none of you ever seemed hardened or numb to what families are going through. Instead, you met us with gentleness, patience, and a readiness to help at any hour — day or night. Every question was answered kindly, every request met with calm assurance, and every interaction reflected genuine love and humanity. You cared for Mom not as a case or a condition, but as a cherished person. You honored her dignity. You protected her comfort. You walked alongside our family with grace and understanding. In those quiet, sacred hours, you gave us something priceless — the assurance that she was safe, respected, and deeply cared for. Thank you for walking with us during the hardest part of this journey. Thank you for treating her with tenderness. Thank you for treating us with compassion. We are forever indebted to you for the comfort, respect, and kindness you gave our mother in her last days. With sincere appreciation and love, The Terry & Thaniel Family

I feel like nobody ever leaves a review for things like this but we all look for them, so here I am! Hospice. If you’re seeing this review, I’m sorry for what you’re going through

This is complex. Most of the nurses and staff are genuine and helpful. However, the overall concept is frightening. They don't do Anything to help a person improve. As a matter of fact, they tell you they don't do maintenance. That includes simple vitamins or even light exercise for mobility. No. The goal is that you die "well". No human can say this is your time, only God decides. The philosophy here is if you want to try and live, this isn't the place to do it. They don't have that in mind. Against our wishes, our father was placed there 3 times. They offered no assistance to keep him physically active or mentally engaged in any way. I had to stay with him night and day just to be certain he ate, went for walks and wasn't given strong meds that debilitated him causing him a quicker demise. He said he wasn't in pain but on time they kept giving him adderall to make him more compliant and manageable. He would sleep all day and miss two meals in a row. They just came in and took the tray away that they dutifully sat in front of him so a box was checked. I stayed with him as did other family members just to be certain he wasn't constantly given knockout drugs that offer no benefit except to make you comatose. As a result, he finished his meals, talked, interacted and was able to move around the facility. Not eating, not getting out of bed and not engaging is a recipe for death. If you have a loved one who wants to live, this isn't the place to go. It's not so much the good nurses but the overall philosophy and approach to "end of life care". My aunt left one of these places and continued living for 5 years in her home. No one can say this is your time and walk you to the edge while giving you a nudge. No one does well or improves here without an advocate watching out for them. Be aware of what happens here. As I said, most of the staff is terrific and will help if you ask them. But the goal is NOT recovery or longer life. It's that you step into eternity soon. No other goal is encouraged. Being there didn't lengthen my father's life one minute but it did leave him weaker, drugged and discouraged. Someone must improve this system.
