You may have heard of hospice or palliative care, but do you know the difference between them?

Hospice care is for individuals who have been diagnosed with a serious, life-limiting illness, have a prognosis of six months or less and no longer wish to pursue curative treatment. Patients receiving hospice services are prioritizing quality of life instead of the number of days remaining.

Palliative care is also for those who have a life-limiting diagnosis, but they may still be receiving curative treatment or have a prognosis of longer than six months. Palliative care patients receive help navigating the healthcare system and managing symptoms.

Both hospice and palliative care patients receive physical and emotional support. To learn more about how hospice or palliative care can help, visit https://www.cvhospice.org/early-support/

As Memorial Day approaches, Cedar Valley Hospice is taking time to remember and honor veterans we've had the privilege to serve. 🗽

One of these veterans is Bob Dehart. The navy veteran served during the 1960s, and formed a special relationship with his volunteer, Dave - also a veteran. Bob called Cedar Valley Hospice after his health was causing more visits to the hospital, and he said the care from his team was like a "Godsend."

Bob was also very thankful for Dave's friendship, saying "He's like a lifeline for me."

Bob's story is a reminder of the importance of connection, especially for our veterans. ❤️🤍💙

How can GUIDE Dementia Care help you? 💗🧠

Unpaid caregivers - such as family members of someone living with dementia - provide billions of hours of care each year. GUIDE Dementia Care can help shoulder the load by developing a care plan, receiving skills training and providing respite care (if the patient qualifies).

GUIDE Dementia Care is available at no cost to those who qualify. Patients must have dementia, be enrolled in Medicare Parts A & B and live at home, an independent or assisted living facility.
