Life's Journey Home Hospice & Inpatient Facility

Inpatient Facility, Home Hospice, or Palliative Care in Indianapolis, Indiana and surrounding areas Established in 2018.

Over 15 years ago, as a hospice nurse, I discovered a critical need within the hospice care landscape. It became evident that there was a gap in care options for hospice patients when their symptoms became unmanageable at home or when their caregivers required a reprieve. Although hospitals and long-term care facilities excel in their care provision, they lack the specialized training and philosophy inherent to hospice care. Together with my husband Bob, boasting over 45 years of healthcare operations and management experience, we embarked on a mission to fill this void. Our vision was to establish a haven specifically tailored to cater to the unique needs of hospice patients, irrespective of their hospice company. We envisioned a place where hospice patients could seek symptom management, respite care, or routine private-pay care in a serene and spacious environment while being attended to by specially trained hospice staff dedicated to upholding the hospice philosophy.

If I could have just one more day with you…

I would hardly speak. I would simply listen to your voice and commit every tone of it to memory until it became my favourite melody.

I would look at you. I would study your eyes and your mouth, and I would learn every angle, every pane of your face until I could see you perfectly with my eyes closed.

I would hold your hand in mine. I would trace all the lines on your palm until they became a trail – a map - that I could retrace on my own palm every time I felt lost.

I would soak you up and breathe you in until there was not a single thing that I could not recall at a moment’s notice.

But more than anything, if I had one more day with you,
I would hold you.

I would hold you so tight, hoping that maybe if I didn’t let you go…

You wouldn’t.

Yes, if I had just one more day with you, I would hope… I would hope so hard…

that you wouldn’t have to leave again.

The Impact of Palliative Care

Palliative care isn’t just about medicine, it’s about meaning. From the moment of diagnosis, palliative care focuses on how you want to live, not just how to treat your illness. It brings together nurses, social workers, chaplains, and doctors who help manage pain, reduce stress, and support your emotional and spiritual well-being.

We’ve seen patients regain energy to attend a family wedding, spend time in their garden, or simply enjoy meals without discomfort again. That’s the impact of palliative care- helping you live better, not just longer.

Because here, we see the whole you.

When Margaret was referred to hospice, her daughter thought it meant “the end.” But what they discovered was that hospice care was about living fully until the end. The team brought in a nurse who helped manage her pain, a social worker who supported her daughter’s emotions, a chaplain who listened to Margaret’s stories, and a volunteer who came every Thursday just to paint her nails and talk about her garden.

By seeing the whole person, not just the diagnosis, our team helped Margaret spend her final months in comfort and dignity surrounded by love, laughter, and lilacs from her backyard.
Hospice and palliative care honor your life, your story, and your wishes because we see the whole you.

Hospice vs. Palliative Care: What’s the Difference?

At Life’s Journey, we often hear the question:
“What’s the difference between hospice and palliative care?”

Here’s how we explain it-

Palliative Care:
~ Can begin at any stage of a serious illness — not just the end of life.
~ Works alongside treatments to improve comfort and quality of life.
~ Focuses on relief from symptoms, stress, and pain — body, mind, and spirit.

Hospice Care:
~ Begins when treatments are no longer curative, and the focus shifts to comfort, peace, and dignity.
~ Supports both the patient and family — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
~ Helps you live fully and meaningfully in the time that matters most.

Whether it’s palliative or hospice, our care always begins with what matters to you because we see the whole you.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to honor the compassion, dignity, and purpose behind the care we provide every day.

This year’s theme — “We See the Whole You” — reminds us that each person we serve is so much more than an illness or diagnosis. We see your stories, your laughter, your faith, your family, your dreams, and the legacy you’ve built.

Whether it’s through palliative care that helps you live more comfortably or hospice care that brings peace and presence in life’s final chapter, our mission is the same: To care for every part of you. The body, mind, and spirit.

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing stories that show how whole-person care changes lives, comforts families, and celebrates what truly matters.

Because at Life’s Journey, we see the whole you.

🎃🍲 Halloween Chili Cook-Off Fun! 🍲🎃

We had such a great time at our annual Halloween Chili Cook-Off yesterday! The creativity and flavors did not disappoint — from spicy twists to family recipes passed down through generations. The competition was friendly, festive, and full of laughter… and full bellies!

While not everyone could be there, we are always thankful for the hearts and hands who keep care moving forward each and every day. 💜

To our team, families, and community — thank you for being part of what makes Life’s Journey so special. We’re grateful for the people who show up with joy, compassion, and a little bit of friendly chili rivalry! The patients truly enjoyed the festivities!
