Hospice
Embracing comfort, dignity, and peace on life's final journey.
The decision to select hospice care is a personal choice. This choice enables freedom, comfort, and respect for people that have a limited life expectancy. Choosing hospice care allows people to consider a plan for the changes they are facing.
What is Hospice Care?
They need education to know what to expect and how to plan. Amari Hospice Care offers full-scope services for patients and their loved ones. Hospice care emphasizes dignity and respect, allowing patients to spend their final days in familiar surroundings surrounded by loved ones. A multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, collaborates to provide comprehensive care personalized to each patient's unique needs.
The goal of hospice care is to maximize comfort and quality of life. It is typically offered when a patient's prognosis is six months or less if the disease follows its natural course.
We at Amari Hospice Care are committed to providing the highest quality healthcare possible at the convenience and comfort of your private residence. After all, there is no place like home.
Hospice care is much more than just the care at the end of life. Hospice care is a beneficial and crucial solution for individuals and their family members who are facing the complexities of a serious illness.
Patients with a short life expectancy need not just the right medication, but also emotional and spiritual care to address fears and anxiety.
When is the right time for hospice care?
It is never easy to know when the right time for hospice care is. It is a personal decision for each individual and their family.
Hospice care can benefit anyone who has:
A terminal illness with a prognosis of months, weeks or days rather than years.
Chosen comfort care rather than treatment-focused care.
Frequent hospitalizations or emergency room visits.
Significant decline in physical health, such as difficulty with activities of daily living, uncontrolled pain or symptoms, unintended weight loss, or decreased mobility, may suggest the need for hospice care to manage symptoms and provide comfort.
