Hospice Care in Arizona
NOW ACCEPTING NEW HOSPICE PATIENTS
What is Hospice?
Hospice care is for when your loved one needs health care to come to them instead of them going to the facility.
When Should Hospice Care Be Considered?
When your loved one is experiencing:
- Frequent emergency room visits
- Persistent, unmanageable pain
- Recurring infections
- Noticeable or rapid decline in physical abilities and appetite
- Significant weight loss or difficulty swallowing
- Shortness of breath or reliance on supplemental oxygen
Dispelling Common Hospice Myths
Hospice patients tend to LIVE LONGER than those who are not on hospice with the SAME condition.
Hospice is NOT designed to accelerate the death process with pharmaceuticals. Medications are administered for symptom control ONLY.
Hospice is NOT a place that you go! It is a service that, more often than not, is provided in the comfort of your own home.
You do NOT necessarily have to give up your Physician. In fact, they are encouraged to remain an integral part of your ongoing care.
Hospice Means No More Hospital Visits: While hospice care focuses on comfort rather than aggressive curative treatment, patients can still be hospitalized, if necessary, particularly for symptom management or significant changes in their condition
