Though hospice is often associated with the elderly, individuals of any age with any advanced illness are eligible for hospice. Some common diagnoses include:
• Congestive Heart Failure
• Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Stroke
• ALS
• Alzheimer’s
• End Stage Dementia
• End Stage Renal/Liver Disease
• Cancer
• Neurological Diseases
Those who have experienced a rapid decline, frequent hospitalizations, or have decided to discontinue aggressive treatment may also be eligible for hospice care.
The Adaptive hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient's individual needs for pain management and symptom control.
