Ready for Hospice

Hope Hospice is a hospice that puts your needs first. We strive to have lower staff to patient ratios, so we can better serve you. We have dedicated on-call staff available 24/7.

Deciding if hospice care is right for you or your family is a very difficult and personal decision.. For some, they reach a certain point when the burdens of a treatment outweigh the benefits. For others, caring for a loved one facing the end of life has become too stressful and support, guidance and expertise is essential.

Regardless of your reason, here are some subtle signs that may indicate that hospice care is right for you or your family member:

• Multiple hospitalizations/ER visits
• Recurrent infections
• Increased shortness of breath
• Several falls over a 6 month period
• Unintentional weight loss or weight gain
• Difficulty with basic daily activities
• Spending more time in bed

Early warning signs don’t always mean you need hospice, but they do suggest talking to your doctor. Preparing and learning more about hospice care can truly benefit patients’ families as their conditions progress. Hope Hospice can help you!
