Legendary coach and Athletic Director Frank Broyles is in “good spirits at home” according to family and receiving in home health care, but not 24 hour, around the clock care.

Frank Broyles’ granddaughter, Molly Arnold, saying “I’m happy to be able to clear up some of the internet rumors, portraying it in ‘an imminent death’ kind of way and that’s not really what’s happening.”

Social media and message board posts Wednesday started a scare that Broyles was on hospice care. Despite other outlets reporting so, Molly and Broyles daughter Betsy Arnold telling the Pig Trail Nation he is receiving in home hospice care, not on hospice.

“It’s for quality of life management, not end of life care,” says Molly. “Hospice is really such a good and positive thing, there’s all kinds of different uses for it.”

She also adds, “one of the things that was reported falsely is that he’s on 24/7 hospice care and that’s not true.” Molly explains the caretakers are not there around the clock. Sometime they come in a couple days a week, sometimes they come every day but it’s all on an as-needed basis.

Molly confirms Broyles suffered a stroke 2 weeks ago and was put on in-home care a week ago Monday.

“He’s 92 and, unfortunately, he had a stroke a little while back,” says Molly. “He’s having some care and all of that stuff, but that’s what happens when you’re 92.”

The family hoping to use this as a moment to educate others on hospice care.

“Maybe it was a good thing that there was some false reporting to help people understand that hospice isn’t a scary thing,” says Molly.

According to Molly, Broyles is enjoying his time at home and getting ready to watch the Razorbacks this season. Molly saying, “My grandpa will always be a part of the Razorbacks athletics. He bleeds red, and that is something he will always look forward to.”
