HOSPICE CARE

What Can Hospice Do? When Is It Time For Hospice?

Many people delay discussions about end-of-life care because no one likes to think about losing a loved one to illness.

If you have a loved one with a terminal illness, often times the doctor may not bring up the topic of hospice care early enough in the diagnosis to where your loved one can truly benefit from hospice care.

It’s smart to learn all that hospice care can offer—doing so will give everyone time to understand the purpose of hospice and what the hospice care team is designed to do. Don’t shy away from hospice information! Now is the time to read about it and understand all the benefits.

What Can Hospice Do? Hospice is an amazing philosophy of care designed to bring comfort and peace to both the patient and family.

Hospice is an additional layer of care and support that is delivered wherever the patient calls home— this could be their personal home or facility, like a nursing home. When a patient begins hospice, they receive a team of support for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Like many hospice care teams, Compassionate Care Hospice care team

includes a medical director, who oversees all care; a hospice nurse, who leads the care plan for the patient; a nurse aide who assists the hospice nurse with clinical and patient personal care needs; a social worker, who helps the family access additional resources and also assists with end-of-life planning and grief counseling; a chaplain, who provides spiritual support; and a hospice volunteer, who steps in to provide companionship visits to the patient and is also available to provide the family with respite so they can take a break.

First and foremost, hospice care is about comfort—if the patient is experiencing pain, the hospice nurse and care team will work quickly to control the pain. If the patient is having trouble sleeping or experiencing other discomfort or mobility issues, the hospice team works with the patient’s primary physician to address the issues. Care plan meetings take place on a regular basis to ensure all care providers are aware of the patient’s current circumstance.

When Should Hospice Be Brought In? Many families wait to inquire

INDEPENDENT / RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

How Do I Know that I have visited with thousands of It’s Time? seniors and their families. I have listened to stories of survival, strength, disappointment, sorrow, and love…each one unique

After hearing so many life stories, sharing tears and laughter together, I have resolved to work diligently to help seniors discover the best options for their personal situation. I want to ensure that the next chapter in life is just a continuation of their life’s adventure, not a stand-alone chapter of heart break and disaster.

“How do I know that it’s time?”

In the words of Dr. Seuss, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Julie Anderson, Sales Director of Bloomfield Independent Living Community.
