Many families wait until the very end to ask about hospice care, assuming it’s only meant for the final few days of life. In reality, hospice support is designed to assist for months, providing maximum comfort and guidance.
Eligibility for hospice care typically includes:
- A diagnosis of an advanced or terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less (if the disease follows its natural course)
- A shift in goals from curative treatments to physical comfort and peace of mind
- A desire to receive care in the comfort of home or a local residential facility
Accessing hospice care early means more time with a dedicated care team supporting your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
