A Caring Choice has been serving Cincinnati’s Elderly for 6 years.  Unfortunately, most people still don’t understand the hospice service. I find most people do not want to call in hospice care until they feel that their loved one is nearing the end.

This is ashame because hospice can provide many benefits in home care to seniors well before their time is up. If the doctor determines that the individual may have less than 6 months to live, they can approve the patient for hospice care.

Hospice care can then provide the following advantages:  

1. Provide the patient with medication to comfort them. The patient deserves this.
2. Provide the family with knowledge and help in caring for the individual.
3. This is a paid for service through Medicare, Medicaid, and some private insurances.
4. According to an article in the Business Courier “There is research done on cancer patients showing that people can live 29 days longer with hospice”

It is my experience that hospice companies are very good at listening to your situation and making recommendations that benefit everyone, most importantly, your loved one.

Call A Caring Choice at (513) 574-4148 if your loved one needs help at home and to answer questions about your loved one’s needs. Don’t wait; they deserve it.
