About Grace House
History
Former in-home hospice RN Holly Klein routinely witnessed patients falling through the gaps of the healthcare system – and even larger gaps created for the underprivileged and under-insured while working in hospice management. Motivated by the belief that all individuals deserve a death with dignity, Klein and Co-Founders Cindy and Nicholas Browning founded Grace House Akron, Inc. as a new nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 2016.
The Grace House team spent the next couple of years developing the organization and its unique service model, to provide an accepting, caring environment for individuals with terminal illnesses who would otherwise spend their days without a caregiver (or an able caregiver) or in undesirable conditions.
In 2019 a parcel of land in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood was donated by Summa Health, providing the future site for our comfort care home. Construction began in October of 2021 and concluded in August 2022. We accepted our first resident in September of 2022
Mission and Vision
The mission of Grace House Akron is to provide a loving home for indigent, homeless and abandoned individuals at the end of life. The home provides safe shelter, care with dignity and compassion, and a nurturing environment for individuals with terminal illnesses.
Our vision is to offer access to compassionate care and comfort at end of life for all individuals in the greater Akron area.
