Veterans Services

Call Now 800.707.8922

Providing end-of-life care for those who have served in our Armed Forces requires sensitivity, understanding and respect. Hospice of the Western Reserve has developed a dedicated program called Peaceful & Proud to meet the unique needs of veterans.


Veterans who face issues related to their military experiences find meaning in the emotional and spiritual components of hospice care. Our staff and volunteers are trained to help manage post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychosocial service-related issues impacting veterans, such as remorse, regret, anxiety and substance abuse. We also offer veteran-to-veteran volunteering matches where we match hospice patients with volunteers who can relate to them as fellow service members.


Patients are encouraged to heal through self-expression, legacy work, storytelling and music and art therapies. Other special services offered to veterans and their loved ones include spiritual care and counseling, help with navigating benefits and recognition for military service through meaningful ceremonies.

 

Veterans Recognition Ceremonies

Hospice of the Western Reserve conducts both private and public Veteran Recognitions that range from intimate ceremonies involving a single hospice patient and close family members to large public ceremonies with hundreds of participants. The Veteran Recognitions are available to all veterans, whether or not they have any affiliation with hospice.

 

Virtual Veterans Cafes

Veterans of all eras are invited to connect with other veterans at our free Virtual Veterans Cafés. Vets can talk to others or just sit back and listen to enjoy the camaraderie.


The next virtual Veterans Cafe is Thursday, April 17 at 2 p.m.


For more information on upcoming Veterans events contact Nathan Gradisher at NGradisher@Hospicewr.org, 216.832.9390.
