Compassus Hospice Care: Empowering Your Cancer Journey

Facing advanced-stage cancer comes with complex medical and personal decisions. Honest conversations with family and doctors about your goals and priorities can alleviate stress and ensure you receive the care you desire.

Your Control, Your Choices

Hospice care isn't just for the final days; it's about helping you live your best life in the time you have left. It focuses on pain management, easing caregiver burdens, and providing vital support for families. Hospice allows you to cherish the moments that matter most.

When Hospice is Recommended

Hospice is often recommended when:

  1. Your doctor believes you have less than six months to live.
  2. No other treatments offer more benefits than risks.
  3. You wish to prioritize your quality of life.

You can start or stop hospice at any time, allowing flexibility in your care decisions.

Preserving Precious Moments

Hospice care empowers patients and families to transition from fighting the disease to finding peace together. It allows for pursuing enjoyable activities, having heartfelt conversations, and embracing precious moments. Studies have shown that hospice can extend life expectancy for cancer patients.

Comprehensive Support for You and Your Family

Hospice care encompasses the patient's family, offering respite care for caregivers, spiritual support from chaplains, emotional assistance, and up to six months of grief support. It is fully covered by Medicare/Medicaid, with no out-of-pocket expenses. Consultative palliative care is also covered by most private insurance.
