Signs that may warrant a hospice evaluation
Increasing dependence for all personal care, reduced speech, difficulty swallowing, recurrent infections, weight loss, repeated hospital visits and declining alertness may indicate it is time for a clinical conversation.
These signs do not establish eligibility by themselves. HHHOK reviews the complete clinical picture with the patient, family and physician.
