The timing of when hospice services should be introduced is a personal decision and will look different for each patient.
In general, a patient may want to consider hospice when:
- Diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and a prognosis of six months or less.
- Curative measures are no longer being taken and the focus is on quality of life.
- Frequent falling, visits to the ER or Hospital, calls or visits to a physician
- Treatment is becoming less effective
- Experiencing an increase in pain
- Experiencing changes in mental status
- Experiencing unintentional weight loss
- Showing a decline with most activities of daily living
- Most of the day is spent in a chair or in bed
- Health status is deteriorating
