Hospice is about QUALITY of LIFE--& SUPPORT!
theleafchronicle.com |
Hospice patients can be active and feeling
good, and still receive the benefit. We encourage patients to access hospice care as soon as they’re
told there is no longer a possibility of cure. Even though they may be feeling
physically well, especially after difficult treatments are halted, there is
great benefit in signing up for hospice care early, before physical symptoms
take over. Early admission allows patients and family members the opportunity
to work through the emotional, social, and spiritual matters in their lives, so
they are prepared to cope with the tremendous changes that are ahead. Families
become comfortable with and learn to trust the hospice team before those
especially trying times, making the road easier to travel.
