At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can help those who are receiving hospice care with our complementary home hospice care services in Lyndhurst, NJ and the surrounding areas in Hudson County. With these services, we will provide non-medical personal care and assistance that supplements the medical care your loved ones receive from formal hospice care.
Seniors and adults who have a terminal illness or limited life expectancy are generally admitted into hospice care. Hospice care is medical care designed to keep patients comfortable and as pain free as possible as they live their final days. Our hospice home care services consist of non-medical care that complements the care provided in hospice to further ensure their comfort. Our caregivers will not interrupt the medical hospice care your loved one receives while providing personal care that traditional hospice care does not cover.
Transition to Hospice Care
It can be difficult for families when they learn that a loved one has a terminal illness or a limited life expectancy. They may also have a difficult time arranging for their loved ones to receive proper care. Medical hospice care is available through the government for those who have been diagnosed with limited life expectancy or a terminal illness. While formal hospice care covers medical care needs, it does not include personal care and assistance. Our hospice home care services cover personal care not included in formal hospice care.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides hospice home care in Lyndhurst, NJ to ensure that hospice patients get the personal care and assistance they need. We can provide help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and tasks around the home while also providing emotional support. Our hospice home care services not only help ensure the comfort of your loved ones, but also allow your family to focus on spending time with your loved ones and managing their end-of-life affairs.
Planning for Hospice Care
Receiving a diagnosis for a terminal illness or limited life expectancy is often unexpected which can put families in a difficult position when it comes to managing care. The best course of action is to create a plan for hospice care for their loved ones in case there comes a time when it is needed. This makes the transition into hospice much easier.
You should talk to your senior loved ones about making plans for hospice care in case the need should arise. This also allows them to have a say in the arrangements and type of care they will receive. With a plan in place, your loved ones can get the care they need right away after their diagnosis.
