What does it mean to be in home hospice?

Being in home hospice means receiving compassionate, patient-centered care where you feel most comfortable. Aurora home hospice provides end-of-life support to patients and their families to help ensure comfort and peace during this time.

Starting Aurora home hospice care

More than 95% of people who choose hospice receive their care at home. If you and your doctor decide Aurora home hospice is right for you, you can expect:

• Evaluación: Un enfermero evalúa las necesidades de cuidado de hospicio suyas y de su familia. Luego, las necesidades se reevalúan de forma continua.
• Visitas de hospicio: Your case manager nurse will visit as needed based on your condition, modifying the visit schedule as your needs change.
• Línea de ayuda a toda hora: Our helpline answers questions related to hospice care and arranges further care when needed.
• Telehospicio: Families using our telehospice or virtual health remote monitoring program complete a daily questionnaire, allowing telehospice nurses to monitor symptoms between visits.

La decisión de que es hora de recibir cuidado de hospicio

Elegir el cuidado de hospicio es una decisión muy personal. Quizás ya no desee un tratamiento destinado a proporcionar una cura, o tal vez sus médicos crean que dicho tratamiento ya no seguirá funcionando.

Puede ser el momento de recibir servicios de hospicio si:

• Had a severe stroke or were diagnosed with a terminal or life-limited condition
• tiene cáncer;
• tiene una enfermedad cardíaca;
• tiene una enfermedad pulmonar;
• tiene una enfermedad renal;
• quiere atención para mejorar la calidad de vida y no atención para curarse o prolongar la vida;
• tiene una esperanza de vida de 6 meses o menos.
