Are you or your loved one in the proper hands? Will your needs be met? According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, you should consider asking a hospice care facility the following questions:

1. What services are provided?
2. What kind of support is available to the family?
3. What roles do the attending physician and hospice play?
4. What does the hospice volunteer do?
5. How does hospice work to keep the patient comfortable?
6. How are services provided after hours?
7. How and where does hospice provide short-term inpatient care?
8. How long does it typically take the hospice to enroll someone once the request for services is made?

You must pick a long-term care facility that will meet your expectations, as well as give you the comfort you most desire. At Hillside Terrace, you’re family!

According to WebMD, “Hospice care provides medical services, emotional support, and spiritual resources for people who are in the last stages of a serious illness, such as cancer or heart failure. Hospice care also helps family members manage the practical details and emotional challenges of caring for a dying loved one.”

The goal is to keep you comfortable and improve your quality of life.

Hospice programs offer services in your own home or in a hospice center. Some hospices also offer services in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, or hospitals.

Some people think that starting hospice is a last resort, that it means they're giving up on life. Some think that hospice means a lower level of medical care. WebMD suggests “hospice is simply a type of care that focuses on the quality of your life instead of on continuing with treatment to prolong your life.”

The transition from living at home with limited care to hospice care can be one of the most difficult decisions families and their loved ones have to make in the later stages of illness. When a family member can’t take care of themselves, it can put a heavy burden on those they love. Many people aren’t up to the task of the daily care their loved one may require.
