As we get older our bodies become fragile. When you are forced to place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, it can be a difficult decision. Many people fear what they do not understand, and many people are misinformed about hospice care.
Hospice is a home that provides care to the sick, especially the terminally ill. While medicine can defeat the odds, sometime the odds are not in your favor. When you are dealing with the illness of a loved one, hospice care can provide the ‘round-the-clock’ care that is necessary to make your loved one feel more comfortable.
Hospice care can help dull the pain. When you are terminally ill, you tend to suffer from painful symptoms – so pain management is a priority. Hospice care providers are trained in pain management. There are also federal guidelines that regulate hospice care, to assure that a patient’s pain is controlled. Studies on the benefits of hospice care have confirmed that hospice patients have better control over their pain than in other healthcare settings.
Hospice care can provide comfort in your own home. Most people prefer to be cared for in their own home rather than a hospital or nursing home. Hospice care companies can bring a care team to your home, so that your loved one can be as comfortable as possible. It is important to surround patients with loved ones and pets during their final days.
Hospice care can give the support that you need. When a loved one is terminally ill it is difficult to watch. Surveys have shown that families that received hospice care (opposed to a nursing home) reported a ‘favorable dying experience’. Hospice providers can provide support for the family and can provide counseling if the illness advances.
