Hospice care is designed to make patients as comfortable as possible when end of life is near. It is important to discuss and decide which type of hospice care would be best for your loved one. It is encouraged to speak with your loved one about their goals of treatment and you and the patient should both be a part of this conversation from the very beginning. A social worker or member of your medical team can help provide more information if you are interested to learn how hospice care may help your loved one. Options include;
In-Home Hospice Care
In-home hospice care provides the information and tools necessary to help your loved one's quality of life.
Hospice Facilities
You might consider moving your loved one to a hospice or extended-care facility due in your area if your home is not conducive to in-home care.
In-Hospital Hospice
Some hospitals offer hospice care within their facilities. Hospital staff can provide information for what is available in your area.
Before choosing hospice care, you may consider finding palliative care to improve your quality of life during or after treatment. Learn more about palliative care here.
