June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month. We know knowledge is power, so the more you know about elder abuse, the easier it is to protect and prevent the most vulnerable members of our community.

Signs of abuse to to look out for:
🚩 unexplained injuries or poor physical health
🚩 behavioral changes or isolation
🚩 discrepancies in financial accounts or missing assets
🚩 physical or medical indicators of sexual abuse

At Houston Hospice, we believe every older adult deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. If you suspect abuse, act quickly and file a report by calling 800-252-5400.

A common misconception about hospice care is you must go to a facility to live out the rest of your days. And that’s just not the whole truth.

There are four levels of hospice care and, believe it or not, most patients receive hospice care at home.

1️⃣ Routine home care – our interdisciplinary team (doctor, nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, bereavement counselor, volunteer) visits you in your home and works hand-in-hand with your family to ensure you receive the necessary care

2️⃣ General inpatient care – this level of care is reserved for patients who have unrelieved symptoms that cannot be managed at home; patients will be admitted to our inpatient unit on a short-term basis; once symptoms are under control, routine home care resumes

3️⃣ Respite care – provides relief for families who may need to rest and recharge; patients will stay for up to five days in our inpatient unit in the Texas Medical Center to receive care

4️⃣ Continuous crisis care – if a patient is experiencing a temporary crisis with symptoms, eight hours per day of nursing care may be provided; when the crisis is over, routine home care resumes

Our goal is to make sure each and every hospice patient receives exactly the level of care they need. If you have questions about whether hospice care is right for you, please call us at 713-HOSPICE (467-7423).

The Virginia Harris Cockrell Chapel, located on the grounds of Houston Hospice in the Texas Medical Center, is a source of comfort for many of our patients and their families. It’s a quiet space that allows for the opportunity to light a candle, say a prayer or just be alone with their thoughts.
