When is the right time to call hospice for those living with dementia?Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. As people can live a long time with dementia, it can be difficult to know when the right time is to begin hospice services. More and more these days, hospices are caring for dementia patients at the end of their lives, some in their own homes and others in long-term care facilities. Our PalliativeCare Center at 304-941-1951, can assist patients and caregivers from the moment of diagnosis, well before hospice is needed. In the late stage of dementia, people can no longer stand, walk, speak or swallow. Hospice can help in the last 6 months, sometimes longer when there is continuous decline. It is important to ask your doctor or get a hospice assessment if you are not sure. Sometimes people have other illnesses along with dementia and may be eligible for hospice care before they have the signs mentioned here. If you or your doctor have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Admissions Department at 304-768-8523. ... See MoreSee Less
