When To Talk To Your Doctor?

When to talk to your doctor about hospice

It’s not always easy to know if hospice or palliative care is appropriate for your loved one. However, you may want to talk with the doctor if any of the following signs are present:
  • A physician has informed the patient that he or she has a life-limiting illness.
  • The patient’s general health continues to decline,in spite of the curative treatments he or she is receiving.
  • The patient is in and out of the hospital frequently.
  • Repeat or multiple infections are occurring, causing additional challenges to a patient’s health status.
  • Increased or uncontrolled pain is impacting quality of life.
  • Weakness, fatigue, or shortness of breath is dramatically limiting a patient’s mobility.
