How many family members or other loved ones does it take to care properly for a patient at home?
The fact is there is no set number of family members or other loved ones that can assist with in home hospice patient care. The reality is a patient actually does not need any family members or other loved ones to assist with their care. Each and every day, the team at Katy Hospice cares for patients who do not have any other caregiver. At Katy Hospice we develop a comprehensive care plan that addresses the amount of actual care giving that will be necessary and appropriate in a particular patient’s set of circumstances. In addition, hospice staff are always available to answer medical questions. Moreover, staff and volunteers are always available to provide support on a variety of different levels to the hospice patient.
