Hospice and End of Life Care

It is hard to imagine a more difficult piece of news for a family to hear than a terminal diagnosis for a family member.  This revelation is difficult for everyone in the family to come to terms with, including the individual diagnosed and family members that have been providing care for the individual.

The Need for Hospice Care at Home

Meal-Preparation-SeniorsOne of the most stressful parts about a terminal diagnosis is deciding how to handle care from that point on.  This is particularly stressful for the family caregivers who have been caring for their relative up until the time of the diagnosis.

Families should discuss the possibility of a terminal diagnosis and come up with a care plan before this situation occurs so that they are prepared.  However, talking about end of life care before a terminal diagnosis can be difficult. You should approach your family members with a sense of empathy when it comes to planning for end of life care and have them express their will in writing so that the care plan can be put in place should your loved one get such a diagnosis.

Hospice Care Fort Myers, FL
