Start the Conversation
It's always beneficial to begin discussions about hospice care early, before a crisis arises, so loved ones have time to explore options and make informed decisions. Addressing the topic proactively can provide peace of mind and ensure everyone is on the same page about care preferences.
Here are a few questions to help start the hospice conversation:
Have you thought about what kind of care you'd like if managing your health becomes more challenging?
What are your priorities for comfort and quality of life?
How can we make sure your wishes are respected as your health changes?
Have you discussed end-of-life care options with your doctor?
Would you feel more supported if we explored hospice services together?
