What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is for terminally ill patients for whom curative treatments are no longer working. Hospice care is also known as end-of-life care and is often recommended to a patient who has 6 months or less to live.
Where is Hospice Care Provided?
Hospice care is often provided in the comfort of the patient’s homes with a family member serving as the primary caregiver.
How Hospice Works?
Hospice care aims at providing a comfortable and pain-free environment for the patient. Hospice professionals strive to help the patient enjoy the last few months of his life to the fullest.
-
Pain Management
As your loved one’s disease progress, management of pain and symptoms is required. The hospice care team closely monitors the patient’s needs and create a treatment while considering the patient’s end-of-life preferences.
-
Psychosocial Counseling
More than 60% of patients who are diagnosed with a terminal illness often experience anxiety and depression.
The hospice care team employs skilled psychosocial counselors who make it easy for the patient to understand the end-of-life process and provide restoration of emotional and social health.
-
Specialized Therapy Sessions
Hospice care professionals often plan specialized therapy sessions like art therapy sessions, pet therapy visits, and more to maximize the patient’s spiritual, emotional, and physical comfort.
-
Assistance With Activities of Daily Living
The hospice care team consists of highly skilled nurses and aides who help the patient perform the activities of daily living in the comfort of his home with dignity.
-
Emotional and Spiritual Counseling
When a person is on end-of-life care, the feelings of regret, grief, anger, and sorrow are a common occurrence.
Hospice caregivers provide emotional and spiritual counseling to help the terminally ill patient achieve peace of mind prior to his death.
With earlier referral to a home health program, patients may receive care that results in better management of symptoms, leading to the stabilization of their condition and prolonged survival.
Inspiration Hospice helps the patients and the families receive the best possible care!
