Many families feel overwhelmed when they first hear the word “hospice.” Questions about what hospice really means, what care looks like, and what choices patients still have are very common.
In this video, De'De', a Patient Care Coordinator at Amari Home Health & Hospice, explains what happens behind the scenes when someone begins hospice care. She shares how families are supported during the admissions process, how the care team works together, and why hospice is focused on comfort, choice, and quality of life.
