Home Health vs Palliative Care vs Hospice for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Patients
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
Home health care is curative, intended to help patients recover from injury or illness, or progress toward improved functionality. While the objective of both hospice and palliative care is pain and symptom relief, the prognosis and goals of care tend to be different. We will discuss the appropriate level of care at the right time for Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients. **Sponsored by VITAS Healthcare**
