The four levels of care in hospice are home care, assisted living, long-term residential (in a dedicated facility), and full time hospitalization. As your loved one nears the end of their life, it is important to discuss their options and make decisions that will provide them with the best possible quality of life. Home care typically includes assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, eating self-propelled meals or snacks, concentrating easily enough to carry out basic tasks independently if needed., engaging in enjoyable activities when able., arranging doctor's appointments and other necessary medical procedures without difficulty., attending support group meetings regularly for education and advice on end-of-life issues.
Assisted Living may include help with bathing; transferring from bed to chair or wheelchair; getting into/out of clothes; grooming needs including haircuts; preparing simple nutritious recipes at home.; occasional errands around the community.; companionship from fellow residents who share similar interests.
