What to watch for with hospice care in Cleveland

  • Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
  • Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment. Families are rarely told either of those things clearly.

The Cleveland market specifically

Cleveland proper holds a mix of historic University Circle campuses and West Side communities, and it is where the region's three major hospital systems concentrate discharge planning. Traffic between the East Side and West Side of Cleveland runs through downtown, which matters more for visit frequency than the map distance suggests.

Because Cleveland proper holds the region's University Circle campuses alongside West Side communities, it is also where you will find the widest spread in quality within a single price band. Ask the same specific questions of every community, since brand name and building age vary widely across the city.

Questions Cleveland families ask

What happens after someone files an Adult Protective Services report in Ohio?

Once a county APS agency, such as Cuyahoga County's Division of Senior and Adult Services, receives a report, caseworkers assess the situation, which may include a home visit, interviews, and coordination with law enforcement or medical providers if warranted. Outcomes range from connecting the individual with support services to, in serious cases, pursuing legal intervention such as guardianship; APS acts to protect the adult's safety while respecting their right to make their own decisions where they have capacity to do so.

What should I expect from discharge planning at Cleveland Clinic's main campus?

Cleveland Clinic's discharge planning is handled by case managers and social workers, and the main campus operates a Departure Lounge specifically to help coordinate a patient's transition out of the hospital. Cleveland Clinic also operates additional regional hospitals throughout Northeast Ohio beyond the main Euclid Avenue campus, so discharge processes can vary slightly by location.

How does discharge planning work at University Hospitals in Cleveland?

University Hospitals, an integrated network of 21 hospitals and more than 50 health centers across 16 counties in northern Ohio with UH Cleveland Medical Center as its flagship, typically begins case management review within 24 hours of admission according to its "Going Home" discharge materials. This early start is meant to give families more lead time before an actual discharge date is set.

What does discharge planning look like at MetroHealth?

MetroHealth, Cuyahoga County's safety-net health system with five hospitals, four emergency departments, and more than a dozen health centers, handles discharge planning through its Social Work department, centered at its main campus, home to the county's Level I Adult Trauma Center. Families should expect Social Work staff to coordinate post-discharge needs including home care referrals, rehab placement, or facility transitions.
