The Basics of Hospice

If you’re just learning about hospice for the first time, this is a good place to start. Hospice is a special kind of healthcare patients receive after they are diagnosed with an illness that physicians believe will be terminal, primarily within six months. While traditional medical care seeks to cure illness, hospice care focuses on increasing comfort, reducing pain, and maximizing the quality of each and every day.

While each patient’s hospice journey is different, many find the following benefits:

Customized treatment and care that helps patients and their families navigate this challenging part of every life’s journey
Services that can help improve your quality of life
A full team of experts that can help care for both patients and their families physically, emotionally, and even spiritually

Your Brookdale Hospice Experience

It’s an undeniable reality: Hospice is different than other healthcare. Delivering it is often as much a calling as it is a profession. That’s why we believe you’ll find that our hospice teams are staffed with individuals who provide more than non-curative medical treatments. They offer real social and emotional connections. They deliver effective treatment with real care. And they provide a wide range of physical and emotional tools to help you and your family embrace hope and peace.

In fact this whole-person approach comes naturally to us because Brookdale has been an industry leader in providing exceptional senior living for over 40 years. In that time we’ve studied, researched, and learned through practice about how to make people feel comfortable. About maintaining dignity. About celebrating a sense of self, and maintaining a connection with what makes you you, even in the face of great challenges.

You or your loved one can benefit from those lessons. Together, with our care team’s gentle assistance, and the right amount of support, you can embrace each day of life with the value it deserves.
