As our elderly loved ones grow old, they start to experience chronic illnesses or diseases, which can challenge them when performing daily tasks. These health conditions may limit them from moving around and doing their routine tasks at home to prevent complications and accidents. And it gets worse when their condition is already in its terminal stage. This is the time where in-home care and support are needed. Although they may be hesitant to avail of this service at first due to the idea of losing their independence and concerns about having a stranger at home, discussing the benefits of hospice and palliative care in California may change their mind.
If your loved one’s condition is already in the terminal stage with no viable cure left and a prognosis of only 6 months or less to live, hospice care is the best option to help maintain their quality of life and uphold their health and comfort in the most conducive setting possible for as long as possible.
