WHO WE ARE?
Founded in 2016, Open Arms Hospice is a community-based organization committed to providing the highest quality hospice care to patients, their families, and close friends throughout the following counties:
Oakland, Washtenaw, Wayne, Livingston and Macomb.
We care for terminally ill patients with a wide range of illnesses including cancer, advanced cardiac disorders, advanced neurological disorders, AIDS, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis and any end stage disease.
OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CARE
Open Arms Hospice program works diligently to assist our patients in managing diagnosis-related symptoms to have the utmost dignified process of living their remaining days with peace and comfort at their place of residence, where the family legacy can be passed onto the next generation. At Open Arms Hospice we are committed to enable and facilitate the best quality of life, which allows patients to remain in the comfort of their own homes or at their present place of residence. In order to sustain our target to be the best hospice care in Oakland county we have handpicked all our clinicians in order to deliver compassionate and dignity driven care to our patients.
Our care aims to capture, body, mind, and spirit of the patient and the immediate family. Open Arms Hospice has a team of professionals, comprised of nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers. We thrive to provide the patient with all of the physician’s prescribed medication to address symptoms related to the end of life diagnosis. Under the direction of the patient’s physician and our medical director, the team follows a personalized plan of physical, emotional and spiritual care. The plan is continually reviewed and adapted to meet the patients’ changing needs.
The team includes, but not limited to:
Anyone with cancer, advanced heart or lung disease, end-stage Alzheimers or Dementia, Advanced Neurological Disorders, AIDS, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Multiple Sclerosis, or another life-limiting illness may qualify for hospice services. A registered nurse is available, if needed, to determine if a hospice referral is appropriate.
Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans pay for hospice services. For in-home care, room and board are the responsibility of the patient and family.
If you have questions about your hospice insurance benefits, please call our office at 248-516-3978.

Chaplain Lauren and the Open Arms Team
Thank you for the lovely card.
We really appreciate your kindness in caring for my father.
I know my father is happy and holding mom’s hand as they dance together in heaven.
God Bless
Anthony & Family
About a year ago my mom was diagnosed with fast onset dementia. She was under the watch of Open Arms Hospice and we are beyond grateful for the loving, respectful, patience and compassion the entire team provided to my mom and our family.
Dementia is difficult to manage and this entire team made it look effortless. Many nights and early mornings my mother would be up, disruptive and they had such a loving, caring way to help her and keep her calm and safe. We always felt like we could sleep at night knowing they were caring for her because other places my mom has been at we could not rest and we were constantly scared for my moms safety. The nurses/aids, doctor, social worker, Chaplin Lauren, Dan Clemente and entire team goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to keep everyone feeling comfortable and loved during a time when life is coming to an end. We are forever grateful for the loving care Open Arms Hospice provided to my mom.
With love, The Allmacher-Harshfield Family
