Debunking Hospice Myths 🚫 Myth: Hospice patients do not have access to additional medical care. 💡 Fact: Hospice teams handle the qualifying illness, but patients can pursue treatment for unrelated health issues or conditions. At Moments Hospice, we're here to provide comprehensive care and support while allowing patients the flexibility to address their other health needs. Let's dispel misconceptions and ensure patients receive the care they deserve. #HospiceCare #HospiceMyths #HospiceFacts

Healthcare professionals, do you know when it’s time to refer to hospice? 🤔 Research shows that an early referral and longer patient hospice stays are associated with better quality of life near death.

Throughout Hospice and Palliative Care Month, we encourage Courageous Conversations with family, friends, and healthcare professionals around “dying a good death.” These conversations can mean the difference between having the type of death a patient wants – one that matches their values and desires – and one that doesn’t allow them to have a say in their own end-of-life journey. Questions? We are here. #hospice #HospiceMonth #HAPCM #empyreanhospice

Healing Together: Integrating Families for Successful Recovery. As healthcare professionals, we know that the support and involvement of loved ones can make a huge difference in a patient's healing journey. By including family members in treatment plans and providing education on how they can best support their loved one, we can create a more holistic approach to recovery. Some of the steps to achieve better outcomes are: 1. Involvement of family members in treatment meetings and providing them with information on the patient's condition and progress. 2. Offering resources and guidance on how family members can best support their loved one during the recovery process. 3. Encouraging open communication between patients and their families to address any concerns or challenges that may arise. By working together with families, we can create a network of support that enhances the effectiveness of our treatment plans and promotes long-term recovery. Let's heal together for the best possible outcomes for our patients. #HealthcareProfessionals #FamilyIntegration #PatientRecovery

A recent survey showed that about 60% of Americans would prefer to die at home, but only 30% think they will. Almost no one says they want to die in a hospital, but about a third of people do. Hospice care is a Medicare benefit that is available to people in the final months of their lives, and it’s about caring for your physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs wherever you are most comfortable. If you’re living with a serious or chronic illness but are not yet at the end of life, you may not know there are services available to you that can help manage symptoms, improve comfort and quality of life, and support your loved ones – in addition to the care you get from your regular doctors. Palliative medicine, also called serious illness care, offers an added layer of support, no matter where you are in your journey. During National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, Carolina Caring is raising awareness about the benefits of these types of compassionate care.
