However, sometimes the realities of a serious illness set in, and it\u2019s no longer possible to wait to make important decisions. This is the time when families often start thinking about their loved ones\u2019 options for care, including hospice care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve reached this point and are asking yourself if it\u2019s\ntime to call a hospice care provider, chances are good that your loved one may\nalready be eligible to receive these services. Even if they are not, there\u2019s\nvalue in exploring this option, understanding how it works and learning about the\nmany benefits hospice provides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it Time to Call Hospice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may be time to call hospice if your loved one is\nexperiencing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Frequent ER visits or hospital admissions<\/li><li>Weakness or pain related to a serious medical diagnosis<\/li><li>A realization that curative treatments are no longer effective or desired <\/li><li>A decline in their ability to perform daily tasks like eating, getting dressed, bathing, walking, etc. <\/li><li>An increase in falls or a very unsteady gait that makes them hesitate in moving around freely<\/li><li>Changes in mental abilities (cognition)<\/li><li>Progressive or very sudden unintentional weight loss<\/li><li>Signs of deteriorating health like skin tears, infections that won\u2019t heal, etc. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Benefits of Early Hospice Care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many families will wait to call hospice thinking it\u2019s a service that can only benefit them in the final weeks, days or hours of life. However, if these signs are present, now might be the right time to reach out for help. If you have concerns, it\u2019s always worth having a conversation with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/blog\/a-doctors-place-in-hospice-care\/\">doctor<\/a> sooner rather than later or contacting a hospice provider to get your questions answered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It&#8217;s also important to remember &#8211; calling hospice is not giving up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early request for hospice care can help relieve your family\u2019s burdens and make the patient more comfortable as well as provide important assistance with advanced care planning. Patients appreciate the higher quality of life that hospice care offers. Stressful hospital visits are minimized or eliminated. Some patients even live longer in hospice care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I Qualify for Hospice? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you\u2019ve made the decision to call hospice, it\u2019s common to wonder whether your loved one will qualify for this level of care or not. To access hospice services, a physician must diagnose the patient with a terminal illness and determine that they have a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness follows its expected course. A hospice care provider will then assess the patient and develop a personalized plan of care catered to meet their goals and help overcome their challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens if a Hospice Patient Lives Longer than Six Months?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your loved one enters hospice care and lives beyond six months, they can continue to access services as long as their physician re-certifies the need. If your loved one improves or decides to once again pursue curative care versus the comfort care of hospice, they have options. Patients can choose to step down to palliative care, home health care or home care or entirely discontinue services at any time. None of these choices would preclude them from resuming hospice care later if they received their physician&#8217;s certification and chose to do so. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end of life is a stressful time for many families, but hospice care eases burdens and makes things easier. If you\u2019re wondering if the time is right to call hospice, chances are good that your answer is yes, and it never hurts to explore your options to better understand why. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/hospice\/\">Salus Hospice of San Diego<\/a> is here for you throughout this journey, and we\u2019re happy to answer your questions, talk to your doctor and schedule a consultation.
