Hospice is appropriate for anyone with a serious illness or disease, whose Physician and the Hospice Medical Director feel is causing them a life-limiting prognosis that is believed to be six (6) months or less. Examples of serious illnesses or diseases that may qualify for Hospice Care include Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, Cancer, Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, End Stage Kidney Disease, and End Stage Heart Diseases. Hospice Care does not necessarily end after six (6) months. If the patient continues to need Hospice Care, it is extended as long as necessary.
