SHOULD PATIENTS OR FAMILIES HOLD OFF ON CALLING HOSPICE UNTIL NEAR THE END?
Hospice services are designed to create the best possible end-of-life care. If patients and families wait until the very end to call, they miss the supportive services of people who are truly compassionate and skilled in dealing with the concerns that are critical at the end of life. Our focus is on quality of life until the end of life. Often patients and families are better able to focus on those things that matter most to them if they have the guidance and support of the caring staff here at Partners in Home Care.
