When Should You Consider Hospice Care Services?

Hospice care is a specialized form of healthcare that focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses and a prognosis of six months or less. Its services include bereavement support, skilled nursing, personal care, and many more. 

Entering hospice is purely the decision of the patient and their families. Here are some indicators that may suggest it is time to consider hospice care coordination and hospice care services:

• Multiple Hospitalizations

  Frequent and prolonged hospitalizations without significant health improvement may indicate that hospice care services are a more appropriate option. Services like our hospice care in Irvine California, will help patients manage symptoms at home to promote comfort and reduce the risks of hospitalizations.

• Nutritional Decline

  Significant and unintentional weight loss or decline in nutritional status may indicate that the body is not responding to treatments as hoped. If this is the case, consider other options, like our comfort care in California.

• Social Withdrawal

  Withdrawal from social activities and interactions may signal a decline in physical or emotional well-being. Hospice support services can help patients improve their emotional and mental well-being. Support services may include counseling, emotional support, and services like our spiritual counseling in California.
