Our dementia-focused hospice program provides specialized comfort care that addresses the unique needs of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease and other dementias — including pain management, behavioral support, nutrition guidance, and family education. We help families understand what to expect and how to provide meaningful connection during this stage. #### Who It Helps Hospice for dementia is appropriate for patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease or other dementias who have significant functional decline, are no longer able to communicate meaningfully, have difficulty swallowing, or experience recurrent infections. #### What to Expect Our team provides regular visits focused on comfort, pain assessment (using specialized tools for non-verbal patients), skin care, nutrition support, behavioral management, and family education. We also provide emotional and spiritual support for families navigating this difficult journey. ### Care Coordination Our interdisciplinary team — including nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains — works together to provide holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and families. #### When to Call If your loved one has advanced dementia and you are wondering whether hospice is appropriate, please call us. Many families wish they had called sooner. We can help you understand eligibility and what to expect. [ #### When Is It Time for Hospice?
