Planning Ahead for Hospice Care

Hospice care planning can help prepare a patient to receive the right level of care and support upon their eligibility. The process may entail a number of steps at first, but it is better to plan ahead and initiate the hospice conversation sooner. 

In addition to ensuring adequate care, effective hospice care planning provides you with the opportunity to reflect on what to expect for the future. The additional time can provide you with opportunities to discuss and plan for the most meaningful matters with your family and loved ones during a health crisis. 

Hospice Care Planning

While planning for hospice care, it is important to understand that the process isn’t focused on death, it is about living a meaningful, purposed life under the highest quality of care possible.  

With the proper planning, you can have greater confidence and security knowing your loved one is under close, compassionate care, enabling time for you to focus on valuing the time you have with them and creating special memories.

Hospice Care Can Be Provided At Home

A number of people think of hospice as being provided in a facility, or a “hospice house”. While in-patient hospice care is prevalent, hospice care can be provided at the residence of the patient, including homes and assisted living locations. While receiving care, the patient can remain surrounded by loved ones in a comforting and recognizable environment.
