Harbor Light Hospice, a Texas hospice care provider, recently published a blog describing what to expect from hospice care. Understanding what hospice care entails can help caregivers better prepare for this stage of their loved one's life.
Entering hospice care brings many questions for loved ones and their caregivers. You may be wondering about what is covered under insurance, how much control you have over the care provided, and what the hospice team will actually be doing for your loved one. A comprehensive hospice care provider will clearly answer all of these questions and more, allowing you to manage your loved one's care and ensuring that their care plan is tailored specifically to their needs.
Hospice care aims to make people feel as comfortable as possible as they near the end of their lives. This will include scheduled daily visits from nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, and more, who will each provide specific services, such as assistance with dressing, bathing, and eating; physical therapy and exercise; and the administration or adjustment of medications. Your loved one can also receive emotional and spiritual support from counselors and chaplains specially trained to assist hospice care patients. The hospice care team will also arrange for the delivery of medication and equipment, if necessary, and train family members on the proper dosage and usage of each in the event that their loved one needs support in between hospice care visits. Finally, your loved one's hospice care team can provide you with valuable information, answer questions, and act as intermediaries between your family and your loved one's doctors to help you provide them with the best care possible at all times.
