Hospice Care: A Perfect Ending: A Perfect Beginning

Mimi Hunt, a resident of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, experienced hospice first-hand when both her parents turned to Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service (VNS) for quality of life as each was nearing their end of life. Mimi's dad spent the last six days of his life at the Hospice of VNS Care Center in Akron, OH. Her mom thought she had only three days left to live when she left the hospital, but ended up receiving hospice care for four and a half months.

Hospice is the answer to the old time care that people got that I remember my mother telling about how wonderful it was, her mom said.
