Anvoi Palliative & Hospice Care’s Post

When you hear the word “hospice”, what do you think of? Serious question here, comment with your answer. I can think of so many positive words, but I still hear people associate negative words when discussing hospice care. This causes a delay in end of life planning and care. How do we “flip the script” and the mindset surrounding the word “hospice”? My wish this holiday season is that we start discussing quality of care with our families and patients. This conversation would include conversations about advanced care planning and end of life wishes. #hospice #endoflifecare #quality

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆: 𝗔 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 💛 Today marks World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, an opportunity to reflect on the significance of compassionate, holistic care for individuals facing serious illness or end-of-life challenges. Palliative care is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about addressing the emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs of patients and their families. It focuses on improving quality of life and ensuring that individuals receive dignified, respectful care in their most vulnerable moments. In the healthcare sector, we are all part of a collective effort to make sure that everyone in need of palliative care feels supported, valued, and comfortable. This day serves as a reminder of the vital role that hospice and palliative care play in our communities. #AskhamVillageCommunity #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay #PalliativeCare #HealthcareProfessionals #DignityInCare
