Providing care for over 30 years

Care for most hospice patients is provided in their homes. However, care is also available at Morrison House, a seven-bed inpatient facility in Zanesville. Morrison House is the only designated inpatient care available in the six counties Genesis serves.

The Genesis Hospice care team may recommend that your loved one have a short stay at Morrison House when symptoms require more assistance than can be provided at home or when the caregiver needs a break or respite. Our trained hospice providers visit Morrison House to review patients' symptoms and adjust the care plan to provide the best quality of care possible.
