The people who would benefit most from end-of-life care include the following.
- Anyone with a worsening illness that required frequent hospital stays until no further treatment options were available
- Anyone wanting to stay at their home rather than a hospital while experiencing life-threatening or severe illness or injury
- An individual has chosen to stop treating their condition
If your loved one is very sick, then planning ahead can make their remaining time peaceful and allow them to stay at home where they feel secure. Some of the ways in which end-of-life care can make this possible are listed below.
- Assistance with dressing, bathing, and hygiene-related activities
- Providing an understanding and gracious companionship
- Ensuring dignity and respect while responding to symptoms like extreme tiredness and difficulty with breathing or mobility
- Respite care to ensure family members can get time for their own well-being and outside responsibilities
