Brief YouTube Q&A (David Kessler) explaining that hospice care offers individualized choices about medications, treatments, and comforts. The nurse and physician discuss which treatments will be beneficial, and hospice creates a customized plan of care based on the patient’s preferences (e.g., whether to use a hospital bed at home).
Do I have choices in the types of medication and treatment I receive through hospice?
Hospice is really about you getting the exact type.
Of care that you want.
So your nurse, the physician, will really.
Talk to you about.
Which treatments you want, which will be beneficial to you, which won't be beneficial.
To you, and why.
So you can really.
Have a customized plan of care that's just right for you.
For some people, when they're looking at.
Hospice care.
They may feel like a hospital bed would really make.
Them comfortable.
And really can provide different.
Positions to.
Help them interact with visitors more. There's other people who feel like the last thing I.
Want in my home at this point is a hospital bed.
And hospice is really great of not having an agenda and really letting you.
Do it your way.
