Hospice care may prolong the lives of some terminally ill patients up to an average of one month longer than similar patients who did not choose hospice care.

Since there is no limit to how long a patient can receive hospice care, considering hospice sooner in the disease process will help the patient and their loved ones with unique physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial needs that will occur throughout the disease process. Hospice of Central Ohio provides skilled professionals who give much needed help and support during this difficult time. These are reasons why it is important for us to build a specific plan of care, together with the patient’s own physician and family.
