There are many ways that a family or an individual can be faced with an “end-of-life diagnosis”. We commonly think of Cancer, Heart Disease and other conditions or diseases that show obvious physical symptoms, and can progress quite rapidly in some cases. People with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia don’t immediately fit the same mold, and that can make it harder to acknowledge and meet their needs. Learn how to provide appropriate hospice palliative care to individuals facing Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia in this week's Changing Lives Podcast.About Hospice Quinte Hospice Quinte assists terminally ill individuals and their caregivers by offering them support and companionship.
