Hospice care is a form of support for families and their loved ones facing the advanced stages of a serious illness.
In Arizona, hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. It’s a compassionate choice that respects the dignity of the individual. It provides relief from pain and symptoms in a familiar, loving environment.

Deciding on hospice care is a significant step. It often comes after realizing that an illness is not responding to medical attempts to cure or slow its progression. For many in Arizona, this decision is made to ensure the best possible quality of life for every remaining moment.

When medical treatments no longer offer hope for recovery, hospice care might be the right choice. Look for these signs:
- Frequent Hospital Visits: More trips to the ER or hospital stays can be a clear indicator.
- Decline in Daily Tasks: Difficulty or inability to perform simple activities like walking, eating, or dressing.
- Mental Changes: Noticeable confusion, forgetfulness, or significant shifts in cognitive abilities.
- Recurrent Infections: An increase in infections, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections, that seem to recur despite treatment.
- Health Decline: A general, noticeable decline in health despite ongoing medical treatments.
