If you or a loved one has a serious or terminal illness and you’ve opted not to seek additional treatment to cure the disease, it’s time to call hospice. Hospice is a special type of care that can help you and your loved ones during this difficult time.
Hospice is designed specifically for people who have decided that their disease is too advanced or they don’t believe they’ll survive long enough to receive traditional medical treatment. It focuses on providing comfort and support rather than trying to cure the patient’s illness.
The benefits of hospice include:
– A decrease in the stress of dealing with a serious illness
– Reduced pain and suffering due to less need for medication
– Increased chance of dying peacefully, as opposed to experiencing pain and distress until death
