Requirements For Hospice Care

Hospice is provided for a person with a terminal illness whose doctor acknowledges he or she has six months or less to live if the illness runs its natural course. A patient needs to discuss hospice care in nursing home options with their doctor. Generally speaking, people who are dying need care in four areas: physical comfort, mental and passionate needs, spiritual needs, and practical tasks. Of course, the family of the dying person needs support as well, with practical tasks and inspirational distress. Patients are eligible for hospice care when a physician makes a clinical determination that life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course.
