Hospice Centers
Hospice of Northwest Ohio has three state-of-the-art Hospice Centers, specifically designed to address the end-of-life needs of patients and families. One is located in Perrysburg Township at 30000 East River Road, about halfway between Perrysburg and Rossford. One is located in Toledo at 800 South Detroit Avenue, north of Arlington. The third is located in Sylvania on the campus of Flower Hospital, 5340 Harroun Road. Each provides a peaceful, home-like atmosphere where patients and families can spend quality time together.

Room and Board Fees
The Hospice Centers are meant to provide care for patients who have intensive pain and symptom management needs that cannot be managed in other settings. Review this information sheet to better understand levels of care and when a room and board fee will take effect.
High Staffing Levels
The staff-to-patient ratio at the Hospice Centers is much higher than in other health care settings. Patients’ needs are met immediately by nurses, aides, social workers and other caregivers who are passionate about the work they do. Our own staff of physicians – whose careers are fully dedicated to the specialty of end-of-life care – round with patients, oversee their care and are readily available to address patients’ changing needs.
Family-Friendly Environment
All patient rooms are private, with patients encouraged to bring personal items that will make their rooms as home-like as possible. Families have visiting privileges 24 hours a day (For patient comfort, we ask that only two family members spend the night.); children are always welcome and pets may visit, also. Each center features many amenities, including two large family rooms that are comfortably furnished and equipped with fireplaces and kitchenettes. Visitors can enjoy food brought from home or eat, conveniently, in the centers' dining rooms. Family gatherings are encouraged, with holidays, birthdays, baptisms and even weddings being celebrated at the hospice centers.
Great Views
Every patient room provides an excellent "view from the pillow." At the Edward and Marion Knight Hospice Center, which opened in Perrysburg in 1995, there are wonderful gardens, bountiful wildlife, a stocked fishing pond, a walkway through the grounds, a small play area for young children and a grand piano in the music room which help provide a pleasant, relaxed setting for patients and visitors, alike. Large bay windows in each patient room – as well as enclosed porches, a solarium and patios – enable patients to enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting year-round.
At the Virginia Clifford Hospice Center, which opened in Toledo in 2004, floor-to-ceiling windows in every patient room, and two interior courtyards with water features, provide great natural light and year-round access to nature and the outdoors. With a view of beautiful Swan Creek, it, too, has numerous porches and patios. A walkway and extensive gardens help create a home-like atmosphere.
At the Ebeid Hospice Center, which opened in Sylvania in 2008 and we acquired in 2023, each room features floor-to-ceiling windows and private patios. There are spacious family rooms and children's play area.
Smoke Free
Like all health care settings, both of Hospice of Northwest Ohio's Hospice Centers are smoke-free. We ask that you not smoke, chew tobacco or use electronic cigarettes anywhere on our premises.
We will make sure patients who smoke are kept comfortable by giving them medications which will help them adjust to the nicotine withdrawal.
If family members need to smoke, we encourage them to take a break and leave our property to do so. For security reasons, they may NOT prop open doors to go outside to smoke; smoking in parked cars also is prohibited.
Family / Visitor Dining
Family members and visitors in Perrysburg and Toledo may purchase meals with a credit/debit card, Google Pay or Apple Pay at the touchscreen ordering stations in the Hospice Centers or by going to www.chezhospice.org. Unfortunately, we cannot accept cash through the food ordering system. Those at the Ebeid Center are encouraged to purchase meals at the Flower Hospital Cafeteria or from an area business. Meals can be enjoyed in the patient's room or wherever you like.
