Referral Choosing Hospice Care

It’s a common misconception that hospice care is only for the last days of life. In reality, people and their family members can benefit best from hospice care when it is provided for a longer span of time.

Too often patients are referred in the last weeks or even days of their lives. Seeking hospice care sooner can enhance quality of life providing a greater benefit to an individual and their family.

Is hospice care right for you?

Have you or your loved one experienced any of the following?

  • Frequent falls
  • Recurrent infections
  • Weight loss and decreased appetite
  • Feeling more tired or confused
  • Several hospitalizations
  • Difficulty bouncing back from a medical setback
  • Increased shortness of breath or pain
  • Trouble with daily activities like dressing, bathing or walking
  • Advanced chronic illness

If you or your loved one has experienced any of these, hospice care may be right for you.

For many veterans, military service is the most important thing that they have done in their lives.” As part of We Honor Veterans, those patients are now paired with a volunteer who also served in the military and share a common bond.

We were so impressed by your staff and your desire to help us. No one wants to need Hospice, but when a person does, it is a tremendous blessing. Thanks again for the care you gave my dad, and ultimately all of us.

I would like to say that you have a beautiful Hospice Home. It is so nice and serene. I love the “quiet spots” that you can go to and meditate. Thank you so much in helping make my mother’s last days on this earth a little better and comforting.
