When to Refer a Patient to Hospice Care

Consider a referral when a patient has:

    • Frequent hospitalizations or emergency department visits
    • Progressive functional decline 
    • Increased symptom burden despite treatment
    • Advanced illness with a prognosis that may meet hospice criteria
    • Shifting goals of care toward comfort

Early referrals improve symptom control, reduce crisis-driven care and allow patients and families to make informed decisions.

Care When It Matters Most

In the hardest moments, you treated my husband with such gentleness and respect and you treated my daughter and I with the same tenderness. Your calm patience, presence and willingness to explain helped us feel less afraid and more supported.

-Lynda, Caregiver

Dignity During Every Step

Your love, care and respect for my childhood friend allowed her to leave on her own terms. In your care, she was able to pass in comfort and without pain.

-Linda, Caregiver
