HOSPICE CARE NEAR YOU

Hospice care for your loved one. Guidance for your family.

Choosing a hospice provider means knowing who will visit, what help is available, and how your family will stay informed. You may be following a doctor’s recommendation, comparing providers, or looking for more support at home.

LifeChoice can talk through the practical questions before you make a decision. Depending on eligibility and the care plan, support can include:

  • Hospice nursing visits for comfort and symptom management.
  • Hospice aide support with personal care, based on the care plan.
  • Help arranging hospice-related medications, equipment, and supplies.
  • Guidance for family caregivers between visits.
  • Social work and spiritual support, when wanted.

HOSPICE CARE AT HOME

Comfort-focused care, where your loved one lives.

Hospice is end-of-life care focused on comfort and quality of life. It can be provided at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility, based on the patient’s needs and care plan.

The hospice team works alongside family members or facility staff. Support can include nursing and aide visits, comfort-related medications, equipment, and caregiver guidance. We’ll explain what is included and what help may be needed between visits.
