Hospice care eases many of the burdens brought on by serious illness so
the family can focus on their time together. Patients with life-limiting
illnesses have an opportunity to complete their lives—saying all
the special things to those they love, passing on their personal history
and legacy to the next generation.
Family members have opportunities too. They can share with patients how
much they have valued their lives, reminiscing and remembering special
moments. Whether you are considering hospice for yourself or a loved one,
our dedicated and compassionate professionals at Southeast Iowa Regional
Hospice are ready to speak with you and assess your options. Call
319-768-3350 today.
When to Call
The decision to request hospice care is a personal one. Generally, the
earlier the patients and families begin to receive hospice services, the
more they benefit.
A patient should consider hospice care if:
Activities of daily living have become difficult
Pain is not well controlled
Symptoms are increasingly uncomfortable and difficult to manage
