Our Westlake Hospice Services

Hospice care is not confined to a facility. Solace Hospice brings our full range of services wherever your loved one calls home: a private residence, an assisted living community, or a nursing home in and around Westlake.

Comprehensive Medical Care

Practical Assistance

  • Personal care aides – Bathing, dressing, and grooming support that preserves dignity.

  • Short-term inpatient care – If symptoms become uncontrollable at home, we arrange local Westlake-area beds until you’re comfortable returning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospice Care in Westlake

1. When is the right time to start hospice?

Most families wait too long. If your loved one has a prognosis of six months or less (if the disease runs its normal course), and you’re focused on comfort instead of curing, it’s time. Earlier hospice enrollment actually extends quality of life – sometimes by months.

2. Does hospice mean giving up hope?

Absolutely not. Hospice redefines hope – hoping for pain-free days, meaningful conversations, and peaceful moments. We never hasten or postpone death. We simply make every remaining day as full as possible.

3. Can we keep our primary doctor?

Yes. Solace Hospice works collaboratively with your existing Westlake physicians. Our medical director consults with them to align pain management and comfort goals.

4. Is hospice only for cancer patients?

No. We care for all terminal illnesses: heart failure, COPD, dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney disease, ALS, liver disease, and more. Many Westlake seniors with advanced dementia benefit greatly from our comfort-focused approach.

5. What if my loved one lives in an assisted living facility in Westlake?

We come to them. Solace Hospice provides on-site care at dozens of Westlake-area senior communities. Our team coordinates with facility staff to supplement their services – no need to move.
