When Is It Time to Consider Hospice Care?

It may be time to explore hospice support when:
• Symptoms continue or worsen despite treatment
• Hospital visits become more frequent
• Daily activities feel overwhelming
• Comfort and quality of life become the priority

Hospice care can begin earlier than many realize—and early support often brings the greatest comfort and peace of mind. Heart Month is a great reason to begin the conversation.

Having the conversation sooner can make a meaningful difference. Care Initiatives Hospice is here to help you understand your options and provide compassionate care when it matters most. Reach out to us today to speak with a member of our team.

Hospice care is designed to give patients more control, not less. The patient decides where they want care, whether it is at home, in a facility, or another comfortable setting - and they choose what matters most to them.

Hospice teams work with the patient and their family to honor wishes, manage pain and symptoms, and provide emotional and spiritual support. This means they can spend their time focusing on meaningful experiences - sharing stories, enjoying favorite activities, and being present with loved ones.

Hospice is about dignity, autonomy, and improving quality of life every step of the way.

Is hospice only for the last few days of life?

Hospice care is not just for the final days. Many patients receive hospice support for weeks or even months, giving them more time to focus on what matters most.

Hospice care is designed to improve quality of life by managing pain and symptoms, reducing stress, and providing emotional and spiritual support. Patients often feel more comfortable, more in control, and more connected to loved ones because the focus shifts from hospital visits to meaningful moments at home or in a familiar setting.

Is hospice a place you have to go?

Hospice is not a specific place. It’s a type of care focused on comfort and quality of life, and it can happen wherever the patient feels most at home.

Hospice teams bring care to you - managing pain, easing symptoms, and providing emotional and spiritual support - so you can spend your time doing what matters most. Whether it’s sharing meals, listening to music, or simply enjoying quiet moments, hospice helps make those experiences possible.

Does choosing hospice care mean you’ve given up?

Hospice care is about living fully in the time you have. It focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Patients often feel relief knowing their pain and symptoms are managed, their wishes are honored, and they can spend meaningful time with loved ones in a familiar setting.

Hospice helps patients regain control, reduce stress, and enjoy the things that matter most - whether that’s sharing stories, listening to music, or simply being present with family and loved ones.
