Does Hospice Care Mean Death?

NO, Not At ALL!

Many people have a misconception that hospice hastens death. However, choosing hospice care does not mean death is imminent. Rather, hospice care focuses on making the patient as comfortable as possible.

If you are living with a terminal illness, hospice will not hasten or prolong death, if the illness runs its natural course. When diagnosed with a terminal illness, people often go into denial mode and avoid taking care of themselves.

However, if your loved one is bought early on in hospice, he can enjoy an improved quality of life. Hospice address symptoms of the disease but place a special focus on helping the patient control discomfort and pain.

The only difference between hospice care and curative treatment is that the focus is no longer on curing the patient. Rather the focus is on helping improve the patient’s life. Hospice is not a death sentence as no one can really predict when someone is going to die.

It may sound scary when someone says that you only have 6 months or less to live. But qualifying for hospice NEVER means you are going to die within the next 6 months. Rather it means that you will be reevaluated every 6 months to see if you are still eligible for hospice. Some patients are unable to continue hospice after 6 months because their health improves so much.
