Hospice helps a person have a peaceful and comfortable death in the comfort of his home while being surrounded by his loved ones.
Hospice Caregivers have a calming presence. We understand the patient’s condition and do not judge them based on their medical condition. We are that one good friend you can always lean on!
When Is Hospice Recommended?
A common question people often have when considering hospice care for their aging parents or loved ones is, “When is the right time?”
Early admissions to hospice care help improve the quality of life for the patient and help them ease their symptoms and pain. Hospice care is often considered appropriate at any time after your physician has estimated that you have six months or less to live.
Hospice care is also recommended for patients who choose to opt for comfort care rather than curative treatment to focus on their quality of life. Hospice care helps the patient on a full spectrum of emotional, spiritual and direct care.
With earlier referral to a hospice program, patients may receive the care that results in better management of symptoms, leading to the stabilization of their condition and prolonged survival.

Take Control of the Remaining Time
Sometimes, the patient can feel overwhelmed by the curative treatments offered by medical professionals without seeing any improvement in his condition. This is when they want to take control of the situation instead of giving control to the medical facility.
Hospice care encourages a person to live comfortably according to his wish in the comfort of his home during the last days of his life.
