Make a Peaceful Transition to Dignified, Comfortable, and Compassionate Care
If you’ve made the brave choice to discontinue dialysis treatments, you’ve decided that you’re ready for a new form of care. You no longer wish to endure dialysis sessions and the exhaustion and side effects that come with them. Instead, you’d prefer the comfort of home, relief from pain, and empathetic support.
With your doctor’s order, your condition qualifies you for a form of care that honors your wishes: home hospice care. Hospice provides what you’re seeking in this new phase of your journey:
- Care for your physical symptoms
- Spiritual and emotional support
- A better quality of life
- Assistance for your loved ones
- Dignity and compassion
How Hospice Addresses Your Physical Discomfort and Pain
Your chronic condition without dialysis treatment causes symptoms that are difficult to bear. You don’t want to receive treatment any longer, but you do want to feel as free from pain as possible.
When your doctor orders hospice, your home hospice care team creates a plan of care that includes all necessary medications, supplies, and equipment to treat the symptoms of your illness. You will receive routine visits to check in on how you are feeling, so you can remain as comfortable as possible.
You may read or hear the word “comfort care” during your conversations about hospice care. There’s no need to compare hospice versus comfort care. Although comfort care, which focuses on symptom management, is available for those still seeking treatment for their condition, know that this service is also a part of hospice care.
Hospice Cares for the Whole Person, Including Your Emotional and Spiritual Life
You’re more than your chronic conditions, and you always have been. Hospice care is also committed to your emotional and spiritual well-being. To nurture your heart and soul, your hospice team offers:
- A chaplain for spiritual conversation, readings, prayer, and more.
- Social workers, who are trained to provide solace, comfort, encouragement, and perspective.
- Trained volunteers from your community who wish to support you during this time.
Your entire hospice team offers a gentle, compassionate touch when administering care. They understand where you are on your journey and want to serve as helpful, loving guides along the way.
Hospice Provides Relief for Caregivers, Including Bereavement Support
After you choose to end dialysis, your family members may decide to serve as your caregivers, while also navigating their emotions during this challenging time.
Home hospice care provides respite for family caregivers to give them a break from caregiving when needed. Through hospice, your family can also receive bereavement support to help them process their grief. Hospice takes care of more than your medical needs. This service also provides essential care for your family.
Improve Your Quality of Life During Home Hospice Care
There isn’t much time to make memories with family and friends when you’re on a strict schedule, receiving dialysis treatments or recovering from tiring medical appointments. After you decide to end dialysis, hospice care provides more space for quality time with your loved ones.
Your home hospice care team tends to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, so you can feel present with family and friends in the comfort of your home.
Experience the High Standard of Care and Support You Deserve
Although you may have appreciated the quality care you received at doctor’s appointments, treatments, or in the hospital, you don’t have to lose out on excellent care.
Hospice brings premium health care directly to you, continuing your expectation of first-class care from doctors, nurses, aides, and more.
Hospice becomes an essential, meaningful part of your health care journey. You don’t have to experience an interruption or break in personalized attention and care.
