RIGHT AT HOME
Exploring the End of Life Care – Hospice Care
Did you know a majority of seniors die in institutions although they prefer to spend the last few days of their lives at their homes? Although circumstances play an important role, the lack of information or misconceptions often affects the choices they make.
Hospice care increases a patient’s chance to live a comfortable life and die in his home. At Inspiration Hospice, we want to educate family caregivers about the benefits offered by hospice care.
When it comes to hospice, people often have a lot of misconceptions. For instance, people believe that:
- When someone is put in hospice, he dies right away
- Hospice is a place or facility
- Hospice is for those who only have a few days left to live
- Hospice care means doing nothing
- Under hospice care all treatments are discontinued
However, this is far from the reality. Actually, Hospice:
- Do not hasten or postpones death
- Affirms life
- Is a belief that each person should die with dignity
- Focuses on the patient’s spiritual, physical, social, and emotional needs
- Offers pain management, expert medical care and emotional support
The hospice interdisciplinary team focuses on improving the patient’s quality of life while considering his wishes.
Our mission is to provide the best services for your life better.
The Inspiration Hospice team is thorough professional, everyone is so kind and they helped us get answers to our questions.
Words are inadequate to describe how much I appreciate what they did to help my father pass away peacefully. Words cannot express our thanks for all the care they provided.
Worth recommending!!!
