The Benefits of Choosing Hospice Earlier
Hospice is not a crisis service for just the last few days of life. It is a program designed to care for the patient and family during the last months of life. An earlier hospice admission allows both patient and family to receive the full benefit of hospice services. Additionally, when pain and other symptoms are effectively controlled, people not only feel better, they have the potential to live a better and more meaningful life.

The benefits of choosing hospice earlier include:
For the Patient
Compassion and dignity with an individualized comfort care plan
Clinical excellence for pain and symptom management where you live
Decreased stress levels to positively affect quality of life
Comprehensive care that incorporates mind, body, and spirit
Reduction in unnecessary re-admissions to hospital / ER visits
