Aultman's Compassionate Care Center is Stark County's first inpatient hospice center. (Read News Release)
About the Center
The 23,000-square-foot facility features a 12-bed inpatient hospice to provide end-of-life care in a comfortable, peaceful environment with many amenities of home. Each patient’s private room is large enough to accommodate several visitors and features an eating area, sleeper sofa and private patio.
In addition to inpatient hospice care, expanded Aultman Grief Services resources include a resource library, individual counseling rooms, support group meeting rooms and children’s programming with an outdoor activity area.

24-hour visitation policy for family, friends, children and pets (or pet visitation allowed by appointment and with appropriate documentation).

Short-term, intensive pain and symptom management.
-
An environment where patient and families feel peaceful and can focus on their relationships.
