Hospice Caregiver Award

At Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Service, we hear every day about  the wonderful work that hospice caregivers provide the families of Central Ohio.To honor these dedicated people for the great care and comfort they bring to the patients and their families, Schoedinger has created the “Hospice Caregiver Award” program.We realize that it takes special people to work in hospice and there are wonderful caregivers throughout Central Ohio and surrounding communities. Therefore, this program is open to all hospices that serve the Central Ohio area, whether they are for-profit or not-for-profit. Our goal is to honor great caregivers.

Monthly Award Winners

Monthly Award Winners

Each month, one of the nominees submitted for that month will be selected to win a special award - a specially crafted gift basket from Sugarbush along with a Caregivers Heart pin - just a little something special to say “thank you.” The Program Coordinator will make arrangements to visit that hospice personally to deliver the gifts and take a photo of the award winner. These winners will also be featured with an article in the Mourning Report e-newsletter published by Schoedinger each month.

Annual Award

Annual Award

Once per year, Schoedinger will hold a special Caregiver Awards Ceremony for all of the award nominees and monthly winners.  One of the nominated caregivers will be selected by our selection committee to win a special $1,000 scholarship award for their dedication and service excellence.

The scholarship is intended to enhance the knowledge and skills of caregivers within the hospice setting. The grand prize winner will have an opportunity to use their scholarship for a local continuing education program or conference, as well as for career-enhancing trainings or certifications.  If a suitable program is not available, a certificate will be provided to the Hospice Executive Director to use at their discretion for the award recipient for future continuing education activities. Scholarship monies cannot be given directly to the recipient.

Nominees are only eligible to win the grand prize once. However, nominees are eligible to win the monthly award more than once. The  Awards Ceremony is scheduled for November of each year, in recognition of Hospice month.
