More families are choosing comfort-focused care after an ICU stay.
According to a recent report from U.S. News & World Report, more seniors are transitioning from the ICU to hospice care than in previous years. At the same time, hospital palliative care consultations have nearly doubled.
What does that mean? It means more families are having important conversations about:
• What matters most
• How someone wants to feel
• Where they want to spend their time
ICU care can be life-saving, but for some people with serious illness, comfort and quality of life become the priority.
These are not easy decisions. They require clarity, support, and honest communication.
At Tuesday Health, we help families talk through goals, understand options, and make decisions that reflect their values. No one should have to navigate these moments alone.
If you have questions about palliative care, we’re here to help.
