Caring for Seniors

Hospice care is not the only choice for seniors with serious conditions.
There are many ways to care for seniors. Family-provided care, in home care, assisted living care, and even hospice care. I have been talking about hospice care for quite some time, and would like to take a moment to let everyone know a bit more about the other types of care offered to seniors. Sometimes, people choose to use these types of care rather than direct hospice care. They might pick them because or availability or personal preference.

If you are looking for hospice care, but want to consider another option, always let the facility or senior care team know about your medical condition and your personal care preference. If you do not, it can cause confusion and care issues. 

Some of the elderly care teams yo speak with may not be able to offer the counseling and palliative treatments offered at a hospice care facility either, but it may be what you are looking for.

In home care an be a good option as well, since it will allow you to receive care, while living with loved ones or in your own home. This can help you to remain in a familiar setting as many things in your life are changing.
