when should you call hospice?

When should you call hospice? This is a question that can be quite puzzling especially when it comes to someone you love who is experiencing a difficult time. Hospice care is meant to provide comfort and support to those who are facing a life-limiting illness. It's important to note that hospice services vary from province to province, so it's important to consult with your health-care provider if you're in doubt about when or if you should call hospice.

Generally, most people would say that you should call hospice when the person is no longer able to live comfortably or suffers from permanent pain. In some cases, the family may also decide to initiate hospice care at an earlier stage if they feel that the patient is not going to make it through the night. Obviously, it's very important for family and friends to be actively involved in making these decisions, as they will be the ones who are closest to the patient.
