Here is something a lot of people don't know about hospice care, and it's important enough to say out loud.
You do not have to have cancer to qualify.
While hospice has a long history of supporting cancer patients, we also serve people living with serious heart failure, end-stage lung disease, dementia, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and many other life-limiting conditions.
Hospice becomes appropriate when the goal of care shifts from curing an illness to keeping a person comfortable, present, and surrounded by love. Families who connect with us earlier in that journey almost always tell us they wish they had called sooner.
If you are wondering whether your loved one might qualify, the best thing you can do is pick up the phone and ask. There is no pressure, no obligation, and no wrong question.
