At Assured Assisted Living, we offer comprehensive care for individuals with in every stage of their life’s journey including those living with dementia, Parkinson’s. We are experts not only in providing care as they age but also as their mind ages. Because Dementia is degenerative in nature, it is necessary for a person to receive different levels of care as they progress into different levels of dementia.

When the time comes to transition into *hospice because of their aging needs, Alzheimer’s *or other forms of dementia, our team will be there to help you and your loved ones every step of the way.

What Is Included in Hospice Services?

Individuals who receive hospice support have usually been determined to be terminally ill, and are likely to pass on within approximately six months time. The entire objective of these particular services is to better the life of the individual with dementia so that they may be as comfortable as possible during the last few weeks of their life.

End-of-life care for persons with Alzheimer’s disease can be incredibly difficult for families and other loved ones to bear. It can also result in negative repercussions for the patient if they do not have access to an experienced team of professionals who are able to offer a variety of unique benefits, including:

• Hospice services provided in the comfort of your home rather than in a facility or hospital
• Constant monitoring of pain levels and managing any pain as needed
• Therapeutic counseling for the individual or their loved ones

The primary distinction between hospice for dementia care and other services offered to severely ill dementia patients is that hospice support is able to be offered from within the person’s own home. This not only helps to ease any general discomfort, but to also positively impact those around them who are able to avoid seeing their loved one from only a hospital bed.
