Why Choose Hospice Care at Home?
Hospice care is designed to give comfort to those who are nearing the end of their life. Hospice Care at Home allows loved ones to be cared for in the place they feel safest—at home. Instead of being in a hospital or facility, your loved one can stay surrounded by family and in familiar surroundings, which can be more peaceful. Our In-Home Care Services are tailored in tandem with a Hospice Care Provider’s plan of care and provides care, comfort and respite during the hours when one’s hospice care company is not present. From a few hours of care a day to around the clock care, there are many care options for families to choose from.
Is Hospice Care Only for the Last Few Days? When should I start home care?
Many people think that Hospice Care is only needed when someone is just hours or days from passing. But that’s not true. You can start Hospice Support at Home earlier on, which can help manage symptoms, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life. The goal is comfort, and the earlier it begins, the better your loved one will feel.
Comfort and Dignity in a Familiar Environment
Choosing End of Life Care at Home means that your loved one can receive the care they need while staying in their own home. This allows them to maintain their dignity and comfort during a challenging time. With the support of trained Home Care Professionals, families can focus on spending meaningful time together with their loved ones.
Do You Lose Control When Choosing Hospice Care?
A lot of families believe that Hospice Care at Home means they won’t be involved in decisions about care. This isn’t exactly the case. In fact, your loved one and family can stay involved in their care in alignment with one’s wishes, and hospice workers will guide them every step of the way and help explain how to best honor one’s advanced directives for their care.
