Planning for End-of-Life Care
Planning for the end of life process is a strenuous experience faced by all who are affected. It is a difficult reality to come to terms with for both the diagnosed and their families.
Unfortunately, the burden can fall heavily on the ones caring for aging parents or loved ones, which is why it is important to have those conversations early—ideally before your loved one receives a limited life expectancy diagnosis. Talking about end-of-life planning is not easy, so show empathy, but be firm. It is essential to ensure your loved one puts their wishes in writing to receive the care they desire, especially when considering options like elder care at home or home care for the elderly.
Hospice
Hospice care comes in many forms depending on the type of medical care that is needed. Patients opting for hospice care understand they have limited life expectancy and may opt to spend their remaining days at peace by doing so in their own home. Many families turn to elderly in-home care during this time to support both the individual and the family emotionally and physically.
How Assisting Hands Helps
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we pride ourselves in giving families and clients the ability to age comfortably at home. Our elderly home care services are tailored to support not just physical needs, but also dignity and emotional well-being.
When a family member is given a finite life expectancy, we believe they should be able to continue living their days with dignity in the calmness of their own space, surrounded by loved ones and receiving proper care through at home elder care.
We work alongside hospice providers to deliver coordinated support through in home care for the elderly or elder care at home, ensuring the highest level of comfort throughout this journey.
