Small changes can sometimes signal that your loved one needs additional support. Knowing what to watch for can help families respond sooner.
Here are 3 signs to pay attention to:
• Changes in breathing
New or worsening shortness of breath, unusual breathing patterns, or increased difficulty resting comfortably.
• Sudden changes in behavior
New confusion, unusual restlessness, or changes in alertness may be important to share with the care team.
• A noticeable change in comfort
Increasing pain, discomfort, weakness, or difficulty with normal activities should not be ignored.
If you notice changes, reach out to your hospice care team for guidance. You do not have to figure out what they mean on your own.
