DOES HOSPICE DO ANYTHING TO ACCELERATE THE DYING PROCESS?
Hospice does nothing to accelerate or delay the dying process. Just as doctors and nurses lend support and expertise during the time of child birth, so hospice provides its presence and specialized knowledge during the dying process. HOW DO I KNOW IF I WILL BE ABLE TO CARE FOR A DYING PERSON AT HOME? Caring for a dying loved one at home can be challenging but also very rewarding. Trained volunteers are available to provide respite care and support for you. At the end of a long illness, days and nights can seem endless. Life’s Doors Hospice has staff on call 24 hours a day to assist you in this effort.
