When to Consider Hospice Care

Families in Laguna Beach often consider hospice care when:

• A physician estimates a life expectancy of six months or less
  
• Treatments are no longer helping as expected
  
• Pain or symptoms are increasing and difficult to control
  
• The focus of care shifts toward comfort and time with loved ones
  
• Families need added emotional or spiritual support

If you’re unsure whether it’s the right time, Acacia’s care coordinators will help you understand your options and determine whether hospice, palliative care, or home health best fits your situation.
