The goal of hospice is to offer dignity, comfort, and quality of life, regardless of the length of the experience. As long as patients meet medical eligibility, they can continue receiving hospice care. Learn more about #hospice at housecallproviders.org ?? #HospiceFacts #HospiceMonth #HAPCM #NPHI
Myth:?Hospice care is only available for a limited time. Truth: Patients can continue receiving hospice services as long as they meet medical eligibility criteria, which focuses on their medical condition and ongoing need for care. That means a patient can be recertified for hospice care beyond an original six-month prognosis. This means that hospice care is flexible and adaptable to each patient’s journey, ensuring they receive comfort-focused support for as long as it is needed. Patients and families can be rest assured that their care team will be there to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs throughout the entire experience. Hospice is about providing dignity, comfort, and quality of life—no matter how long the journey may be. #HospiceCare #PalliativeCare #MythBustingMondays #CareHeroes
