Hospice is a type of care for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less. When a life-limiting illness can no longer be cured or controlled, Blessing Hospice offers welcome comfort and support for your loved oneβand your family. Our dedicated, compassionate hospice team can minimize pain, fear and uncertainty and provide physical, emotional and spiritual comfort to improve quality of life.
Hospice care is a way to make each day more meaningful for your loved one and your family. Too often, hospice care isn't started soon enough. Sometimes a doctor, patient or family member is hesitant to begin hospice care because they feel they are "giving up.
Through Blessing Hospice, personalized end-of-life care, including symptom management, can take place at home, in the hospital, or in a long-term care facility. Through Blessing Hospice, our team brings your family care and compassion combined with unparalleled expertise.
The goal of hospice care is comfort rather than cure. It allows a loved one to pass away peacefully and naturally without extraordinary interventions. Hospice care is not just for the last few days of life. To achieve the best quality of life for your loved one, seek hospice care as soon as possible in their final journey. This compassionate step ensures your loved one can take full advantage of the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of hospice care for as long as possible.
The earlier you start this uniquely specialized care and support, the more pain-free, comfortable days a loved one can enjoy with family and friends. Hospice care has the potential to give your loved ones and family weeks, even months, of more special moments. It's about adding life to days. Hospice care also allows a loved one to focus their time and energy on family and friends rather than spending precious time undergoing treatments or in hospitals.
