Who Qualifies for Hospice Care in Chicago
Many families are unsure when it is time to begin hospice care in Chicago. Hospice is generally appropriate for patients facing a life-limiting illness when the focus shifts from curative treatment to comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life.
A patient may qualify for hospice care if a physician believes the person has a limited life expectancy if the illness follows its expected course. Patients with cancer, dementia, heart disease, lung disease, neurological conditions, and other serious illnesses may be eligible.
Choosing hospice in Chicago does not mean giving up care. It means receiving a different kind of care that focuses on comfort, dignity, and support for both the patient and family.
