Hospice professionals have a special calling. Here are a few words from Gidgett, a Community Liaison with our Victoria office: When it comes to my job, I want everyone to know the true meaning of Hospice. As an individual, you have a choice in Hospice care, regardless of where you call home - whether it’s in a hospital, your home, assisted living, or a nursing home. Altus Hospice offers several specialty programs, including CBD treatment plans and Aromatherapy, which sets us apart from other agencies. It's essential to recognize that hospice care is not a diagnosis, but a care plan designed for individuals with terminal illnesses. Starting hospice care sooner can lead to a better quality of life during the end-of-life journey. Consider engaging hospice services when a prognosis is six months or less, rather than waiting until the final hours or days. This proactive approach enables the hospice team to offer comprehensive support, guidance, and resources to ease the transition. Please reach out to me or your local office if you or your loved one needs assistance. Even if you are at a crossroads and don’t quite need hospice I have over 15 years in senior care and can guide your family in the right direction. https://lnkd.in/gtWYwZRr #Hospice #OurCareFamily #HereForYou
