Hospice care is an important aspect of end-of-life care given to people with terminal illnesses. Hospice care gives physical, spiritual, and emotional support to patients and their families during these trying times. In Glendale, California, hospice care is an invaluable help for people who need compassionate care in their last days.

Here are a few of the many advantages of hospice care in Glendale, California:

Provides Comfort and Dignity

Providing comfort and dignity to terminally-ill patients during their last days is the primary objective of hospice care. Here in Faith and Hope hospice, we manage all the pain and other symptoms that the patients feel so they are as comfortable as possible during their last days. We do this by providing them with medication, massage therapy, and other holistic treatments so we can help the patients relax and feel more at ease.

In addition, our staff here at Faith and Hope are trained to respect our patients’ wishes so they can maintain their dignity as they approach the end of their lives. Our staff can help with their personal care tasks, and we can ensure that the patients and/or their families can make their own decisions about the patient’s care.

Offers Emotional and Spiritual Support

Our Glendale hospice care providers are aware that end-of-life care is not just helping our patients with their physical health but also with their emotional and spiritual well-being. We offer counseling and other resources to patients and their families to help them deal with the difficulties of end-of-life care.

We offer Spiritual care because we believe it is an important aspect of Glendale’s hospice care. Regardless of our patient’s religious and/or spiritual beliefs, our hospice care providers are trained to provide spiritual guidance and support to our patients and their families.

Provides Respite Care for Caregivers

Caring for someone who is terminally ill can be physically and emotionally exhausting for the caregivers so we at Faith and Hope have hospice care providers who can provide them respite care so they can get their much-needed break from their duties.

Our hospice care providers will take over caring for the patient so the caregivers can get their much-needed rest. Going to work, running errands for them, or simply giving them some time to rest and recharge is just a few of the respite care services we offer.

Enhances Quality of Life

The Glendale hospice care we provide is intended to improve our patients’ and their families’ quality of life. Our hospice care providers can provide compassionate care and support so our patients get to enjoy meaningful experiences and time with their loved ones in their final days.

In addition, Faith and Hope’s hospice care can help in reducing the anxiety and stress that are frequently associated with end-of-life care. With our hospice care, patients and their families may be able to concentrate on what really matters: spending time together and making cherished memories with their terminally-ill loved one(s).
