Hospice care is a level of senior care that allows for home care and facility-based care to be combined in order to provide terminally ill seniors with the services they need, and the families with additional support.

In Arizona, hospice services allow you to ensure the highest level of quality and compassion when faced with illness or injury that is life limiting. Also known as palliative care, hospice care provides tea-based medical support to manage health needs, pain reduction, and vital emotional and spiritual assistance.

Every element of an individual’s hospice care is carefully tailored to his or her unique wishes and requirements. Support extends beyond the patient to his or her family, as well.

A hospice’s main belief is that we all have the right to die with dignity, and without pain, and that our loved ones have the right to effective support.

In general, a hospice:

• Places its primary focus on caring for its residents, not in curing them.
• Provides care in a hospice center, hospital, nursing home, long-term care facilities and a person’s own home.
• Offers services to people of any age or illness.
• Offers services that are covered under most private insurance plans and HMOs as well as Medicare and Medicaid.

In a hospice, terminally ill patients are cared for in recognition that it is the last stage that they will live. The goal is to make sure that the quality of the patient’s life is as high and comfortable as possible. It reduces any pain experienced by the patient, and controls symptoms of the disease, instead of necessarily aiming to cure it.

Hospices in Arizona are family-centered places with a holistic outlook on care. The focus is on the individual person, and not the illness from which they suffer. The family is considered an extension of the individual and is treated just as carefully and caringly as the patient him or herself.

Therefore, even if the duration of life cannot be maximized, the quality of that life is at its very best. The treatment at the hospice is tailored for the specific patient and family to ensure the most comfortable stay.
