Making a referral

Seeking specialized hospice care services shouldn't be limited to specific disease stages. Whether you're a healthcare professional or a family member, you can refer a patient to us at any point. However, research has shown that early referrals can result in better quality of life outcomes. A prompt referral means we can spend more time communicating with patients and loved ones, truly understanding their needs and seamlessly coordinating their care.

 

Determining when a patient is medically suitable for hospice care can be a complex decision. Thankfully, there are several telltale signs and symptoms to look out for:

 

  • Symptoms that are uncontrolled or chronic and negatively affect quality of life

  • A gradual decline in functional ability

  • Unintentional and progressive weight loss exceeding 10% in the last six months

  • Multiple chronic health conditions

  • Needs assistance with most daily activities

  • Frequent infections

  • Repeated emergency department visits or hospitalizations

  • Wounds that do not heal.

Determine your patient's eligibility for hospice care through our support, or allow us to assist you in initiating the discussion with them. Our Registered Nurses will evaluate and design a customized care plan that is most suitable for your patient's requirements.
