What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care refers to the pain management treatment received by the patient from expert doctors, experienced nurses, spiritual leaders, and trained volunteers.
When a patient enters hospice, he no longer receives treatment to cure his condition, rather health professional aims at providing relief from the symptoms.
There’s a misconception among people that hospice care is only for those individuals who have a few months to a few weeks to live. This is the reason why some people choose to delay entering hospice care until just a few days before they die.
Hospice Care for Patient
Many people see hospice as the end of the road. But in reality, it is the beginning of a new one!
Hospice is not about giving up on life or hastening death, it is all about living to your fullest in the final days of your life.
Families who choose hospice often discover that it offers many benefits. Hospice opens up new possibilities for dignified and gracious living toward the end of life.
Many hospice patients live in their own homes, surrounded by people they love the most. Every care plan is customized to suit the patient’s needs and the needs of the family.
Hospice Care for Families
Hospice care is not only for the patient but for the family and friends as well.
According to AARP, a third of family caregivers say their own health is fair to poor. Many more say they are overwhelmed and exhausted.
When a patient is in hospice care, they receive care from professional and experienced hospice care staff. Nurses, social workers, physicians, CNAs, chaplains, and volunteers support the patient and his family. The care team keeps the family in the loop and informs them of any or all key changes in the patient’s health.
The care team is there to help you. Support you. And make it easy to deal with the situation.
