Who is eligible for hospice services?
Hospice care is intended for individuals with a terminal illness or a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by a physician. Eligibility for hospice care is not limited to a specific age or diagnosis but is based on the patient's overall health status and prognosis. This includes individuals with advanced stages of diseases such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Alzheimer's disease, and other life-limiting conditions.
The focus of hospice care is on managing symptoms, providing pain relief, and enhancing the patient's quality of life rather than seeking curative treatment. It is essential that the patient and their healthcare team agree that curative treatment options are no longer beneficial or desired. Hospice care also extends its support to the patient's family members, recognizing that they too experience emotional, practical, and spiritual challenges during this time.
Eligibility for hospice care is determined through a collaborative assessment involving the patient, their primary care physician, and the hospice care team to ensure that the individual's needs align with the philosophy and services provided by hospice care.
