When Hospice is Right for Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients
Any patient with Alzheimer’s disease or advanced dementia may be suitable for hospice care if the prognosis is six months or less should the disease run its natural course.
Alzheimer’s and dementia patients are eligible and can be referred to hospice when indicators, such as the following, are present:
- Ability to speak is limited
- Unintentional weight loss of more than 10 percent over prior six months
- Inability to walk, dress and bathe without assistance
- Urinary and bowel incontinence
Symptom management is of utmost importance, and we can assist with the following to help a patient’s quality of life:
- Anxiety or agitation
- Pain
- Difficulty swallowing
- Depression
In addition, we assess each patient’s safety on every visit to minimize fall risk.
And whenever possible, we also schedule our care visits in the day to calm patients and support caregivers with the challenges often associated with Sundowning Syndrome or late-day confusion.
