Do I Qualify for Hospice Benefits?
A person qualifies for Hospice/Pallitive care (comfort care) when they have/are:
- A diagnosis of a terminal disease with a prognosis of six months or less, if the disease runs its normal course.
- Dependent upon others for a majority of their Activities of Daily Living i.e. bathing, walking, eating, toileting etc.
- A weight loss of 5% of body weight in three months or ten % of body weight in six months.
The Cornerstone Hospice Program:
Hospice is Palliative Care, which is comfort care not curative care. Our focus is on the patient rather than the disease. We offer professional support tailored to meet your individual needs.
