Is it time to make a referral?
The following criteria may help determine whether a patient needs our help. Contact the Hinds Hospice Referral Team if the patient:
- May not survive past six months
- Is seriously ill and pain management is needed
- Has more than one chronic condition
- Has been admitted to the ER/hospital several times within six months
- Is facing difficult conversations regarding end-of-life decisions
If you are supporting the caregiver, the following questions may help determine if assistance from Hinds Hospice is needed:
- How many hours are spent caregiving?
- Is the amount of care provided overwhelming?
- Is the caregiver getting help from friends and family members?
- Has the caregiver been ill recently?
- Is the caregiver irritable, or experiencing sleep issues?
- Is the situation taking a toll on family life or job performance?
- Is it causing the caregiver financial strain?
