When is it time for hospice?
Hospice care can be most helpful when services are started early on and trusting relationships can be formed between families and the hospice team. Watch for these indicators that may suggest end-of-life care is appropriate:
– patient declines aggressive treatment
– treatment is no longer showing results
– frequent visits to the Emergency Department or in-patient admissions
– worsening symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, pain, nausea, etc.
– nonhealing wounds
– increase in sleeping hours
– decline in activities of daily living/functional status
– family/caregivers feel overwhelmed
– emotional support needed
Families of current hospice patients should call 704.983.4216 any time your family member has a change in symptoms — including pain, trouble breathing, constipation, sadness, etc.
