When Hospice May Be the Right Choice

Hospice care may be appropriate when:

• A doctor estimates a life expectancy of about six months or less
  
• Treatments are no longer improving quality of life
  
• Pain or symptoms are difficult to manage
  
• The goal of care is comfort, not cure
  
• Families need extra emotional or caregiving support

If you’re unsure, our care coordinators can help you understand whether hospice, palliative care, or home health care best fits your needs.
