When to Consider Hospice Care

Hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life during the final months of a serious illness. It may be the right time when treatments are no longer helping or when being at home matters most.

If you or someone you love is facing a serious illness, hospice can bring comfort, peace, and support. Care is focused on making each day meaningful, at home, with the people who matter most.

You might consider hospice when:

  • A doctor says there may be six months or less to live
  • Treatments are no longer helping or feel too hard
  • Pain or other symptoms are getting harder to manage
  • You want to spend less time in the hospital and more time together

We’re here to walk you through the decision and talk about what feels right for your family.
