Eligibility and Best Timing

Hospice may be appropriate when a physician certifies a life-limiting illness with an expected prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its usual course, and your goals emphasize comfort. Common conditions include advanced cancer, heart or lung disease, dementia, kidney or liver disease, and neurologic illnesses. Families often begin hospice when symptoms increase, hospital visits become frequent, or caregiving feels overwhelming.
