If your loved one is suffering from a debilitating illness or health condition, it may be up to you to decide if hospice care is the right choice. Despite common misconceptions, you don’t have to take your loved one out of their assisted living facility to get them the same level of care. Below are a few of the advantages of seeking hospice care in an assisted living community.

3 Benefits of Assisted Living Hospice Care

1. Remain in a Familiar Environment

After your loved one has already spent the past few years in an assisted living facility, it can be a difficult transition to move them from the place they now call home. Choosing hospice care in an assisted living community allows them to remain in familiar and comfortable surroundings.

2. Have Coordinated Care

Hospice nurses are trained to work in team-oriented environments, which means they can coordinate a patient’s care with the staff at the assisted living community. This includes managing daily tasks, administering medications and treatments, and determining the appropriate level of care for the resident.  

3. Emotional Support for Loved Ones

In addition to providing care for the patient, having hospice services inside the assisted living community also provides support for the family and friends of the resident. They understand the emotions that come with caring for a loved one who is nearing the end of their life, and will take care of the important tasks so you can focus on personal time with your family members.
