Odyssey Hospice
Hopsice Care in Dayton
At Odyssey Hospice, we improve the quality of life for patients facing terminal diagnoses while providing support for their loved ones.
Since 1996, Odyssey is one of the largest hospice providers in the country, offering personalized care and support to thousands of patients and their families across the country each day.
Hospice is not a place; it’s a philosophy of care that enhances life as it nears its end for the patients and their families and friends. Even when medicine cannot provide a cure, it can offer comfort, care and assistance that can help maintain a better quality of life for the patient. This type of attention, called palliative care, involves the aggressive treatment of physical and emotional pain and symptoms. It focuses on enhancing a patient’s comfort and improving quality of life.
Hospice is based on the belief that through sensitive, appropriate care and the support of a caring community, terminally ill patients and their families can begin to prepare to face the inevitable challenges ahead. Centuries ago, a hospice was a shelter for travelers. Over the years, it evolved into a refuge where people could find care, comfort and support during difficult times in their journey through life.
Odyssey’s care is available to terminally ill patients with a wide range of diagnoses including:
Pulmonary diseases - Kidney diseases
- Parkinson’s disease
- Neurological diseases
- Metastasic cancer
- Liver diseases
- AIDS
- Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) disease
- Heart diseases
- Alzheimer’s
- Diabetes
Our teams of caregivers consist of registered nurses, physicians, home healthcare aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors and trained volunteers. They provide palliative care to ease pain and discomforting symptoms. In addition, they provide psycho-social and spiritual support for both patients and their loved ones. Patients typically receive our services in their own homes, in nursing homes, or assisted living facilities. We also serve patients in hospitals and, in certain geographic locations, in Odyssey's own freestanding hospice facilities.
