Planning for End-of-Life Care
Planning for the end of life process is a strenuous experience faced by all who are affected. It is a difficult reality to come to terms with for both the diagnosed and their families.
Unfortunately, the burden can fall heavily on the ones caring for elderly or ill parents, which is why it is important to have those conversations before your loved one receives a limited life expectancy diagnosis. Talking about end of life planning is not an easy, so show empathy, but be firm. It is essential to ensure your loved one puts their wishes in writing to receive the care they desire.
Hospice
Hospice care comes in many forms depending on the type of medical care that is needed. Patients opting for hospice care understand they have limited life expectancy and may opt to spend their remaining days at peace by doing so in their own home.
