Doesn't Hospice Offer these Services?
Palliative Care and Hospice offer valuable resources to people with a life limiting illness. I work with clients who are either on hospice or I can help them to choose a hospice that fits their needs and desires. Clients may not know that they can choose which hospice they prefer. For those over 65, it is funded by Medicare. Medicaid or private insurance providers cover it for everyone else.
Clients should keep in mind that hospice staff time is limited. While they are usually a phone call away, they are not able to be in the client's presence for more than a few hours a week due to the number of clients they serve. This leaves caregivers on their own to provide that 24/7 support when a loved one is dying. Through the non-medical services that I offer, I can help to bridge the gap to leverage the resources of hospice and to ease the burden of caregivers and to provide those who are dying with a more peaceful, calm, and beautiful end of life experience.
