when to call hospice
Determining when to call hospice can be challenging. It’s time to consider hospice care if a loved one has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less and curative treatment is no longer effective. Signs include frequent hospitalizations, progressive weight loss, and a decline in the ability to perform daily activities. Hospice focuses on comfort, providing medical, emotional, and spiritual support to both patients and families. Consulting with healthcare professionals can help decide when to call hospice. At Shining Light Hospice in Las Vegas, NV, we offer compassionate care to ensure the best quality of life for our patients.
