When is the right time to seek hospice care?
At any time during a life-limiting illness, it is appropriate to discuss all of a patient’s options, including hospice. The sooner the Nathan Adelson Hospice team can begin to help the patient and family, the more effective the services will be in improving the quality of life and reducing the physical, emotional and financial burdens. The Nathan Adelson Hospice Admissions Coordinators are available 7 days a week, including evenings to consult with the attending physician as well as the patient and family.
