The Right Care When You Need It

Many people faced with life-limiting illness only have two options—dying in a hospital or dying at home—however, for people with hospice care options in their area, there is a third choice: to be in an inpatient facility devoted to end-of-life care.

Connecticut Hospice provides inpatient, compassionate, comfort-oriented, and comprehensive hospice care to patients with life-limiting illnesses whose symptoms are too severe to manage at home or in other settings.

What to Know

  • Hospice care is for people facing a progressive, life-limiting illness with an expected prognosis of 6 months or less.
  • A terminal diagnosis by itself is not a criteria for inpatient hospice care; you need to have uncontrolled symptoms that cannot be safely managed in another setting.
  • Hospice care brings an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, social workers, spiritual leaders, trained volunteers and other disciplines to improve quality of life and offer counseling on end-of-life decisions, care, and communications. 

What to Consider

  • When choosing care options for yourself, or a loved one, consider what is your (or your loved one’s) own vision for a good end of life. 
  • Do you wish to continue treatment up to the very end of life?
