Deciding when to call hospice is never easy, but reaching out sooner can make a meaningful difference. Many families tell us they wish they had contacted hospice earlier. Hospice care can be most helpful when support begins, offering comfort, dignity, and guidance during a challenging time.
Signs it may be time include increasing pain or symptoms, frequent hospital visits, changes in daily function, or caregiver exhaustion. Hospice care supports both patients and families with a focus on quality of life.
If you're unsure whether it's time, you can still call us at (210) 585-2335. A referral is not required, and Guiding Light Hospice is here to help guide you. Feel free to learn more by visiting the link in our bio. 💛💙
