No, hospice is for anyone, of any age, with a terminal illness, whether it is cancer or heart disease, COPD, liver disease, kidney failure, stroke, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or AIDS. Anyone that has a life-limiting illness and has been diagnosed by a physician with less than six months to live is qualified for hospice care. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed by a doctor, you should seriously consider calling in hospice to enhance your quality of life. Hospice offers many advantages such as pain management, therapy, and spiritual services that can help anyone suffering from a life-limiting disease as well as their family members.
