Hi, I’m Astrik Ivanova with Loving Hands Hospice in the greater Los Angeles area. 🌿
One of the most common misconceptions I hear from patients and families is that hospice means “giving up.”
It doesn’t.
Hospice is a Medicare benefit that shifts the goal of care — from curing a disease to maximizing comfort and quality of life. Patients with a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less (if the disease runs its natural course) are eligible.
What they gain:
✔ Nurse visits at home
✔ Pain & symptom management
✔ Chaplain & social worker support
✔ Caregiver respite
✔ 24/7 on-call support
For the discharge planners and social workers I partner with — I’m here as a resource. Let’s connect.
