 Hospice

Hospice often has different meanings to different people. However, a real definition of hospice is to provide special care for people who are near the end of life and for their families. The care can either be at the person’s home, in freestanding hospice facilities, or within hospitals.

Hospice programs affirm life and regard dying as a normal process. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; it is designed to provide personalized services in a caring environment to enhance life for a dying person. Once diagnosed, a person with a terminal disease may choose to die at home with the support of family, friends, and caring professionals. Over 90% of hospice care is provided in the patient's home.

After the dying person makes the decision, hospice workers begin a process of comfort and counseling to provide social, spiritual and physical support to the dying patient and his or her family. All hospice care is under professional medical supervision.

Hospice care is beneficial for anyone of any age, with any life limiting disease! While many hospice patients have cancer, hospice care provides care for patients with all types of illnesses including heart, lung, kidney, vascular and neuromuscular diseases, Alzheimer’s and other types of dementias, AIDS and birth defects.

Let your person thoughts be known to loved ones regarding hospice care. In the event that you are afflicted with a terminal disease discuss the options and document your wishes and place them in The Legacy Kit section six (6) Message’s to Loved Ones. The Legacy Kit can be purchased now and shipped free for only $39.95 .
