HOSPICE CARE FOR LIVER DISEASE PATIENTS
America Hospice and Palliative Care is committed to providing compassionate care to patients with liver disease. Liver disease is a broad term that encompasses a range of conditions affecting the liver, including cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer. These conditions can cause significant pain and discomfort for patients and can also lead to life-threatening complications.
Hospice care for liver disease patients is necessary when the condition has progressed to the point where curative treatment is no longer an option. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support to patients and their families during this difficult time. Our team of hospice and palliative care specialists is dedicated to helping patients manage their symptoms and maintain their quality of life.
Knowing when it is time to discuss hospice care for a liver disease patient can be a difficult decision. Our team of experts can help guide patients and their families through this process. Some signs that it may be time to consider hospice care include frequent hospitalizations, declining physical function, and significant pain or discomfort that is difficult to manage.
Specialized hospice care for liver disease patients provides numerous benefits. Our team of hospice and palliative care specialists is trained to manage the unique symptoms associated with liver disease, including jaundice, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. We work closely with patients and their families to develop a personalized care plan that addresses their individual needs and preferences.

WHO CAN RECEIVE HOSPICE CARE?
Anyone diagnosed with limited life expectancy can receive hospice care.
Once a doctor confirms an illness is terminal (life expectancy of six months or less), they will collaborate with the America Hospice and Palliative Care team to provide services tailored to the patient’s needs and desires.
While many patients have cancer, we also care for individuals with various life-limiting conditions, such as heart and lung disease, kidney disease, neurological disorders, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and other dementias. Family and friends benefit from hospice care as well, receiving support to help the patient and adjust to life changes.
A common misconception is that all hospice patients are bedridden, critically ill, and incapable of living life to its fullest. Hospice celebrates life, assisting you in fulfilling your unique needs during this life chapter.
For any questions about hospice care or eligibility, contact our Admission Coordinator at America Hospice and Palliative Care.
WHY CHOOSE AMERICA HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE?
After receiving a diagnosis for limited life expectancy, patients must make an important choice about goals for their treatment.
When a doctor concludes that no curative treatment exists for a specific illness, the therapy is no longer effective, or you decide the treatment side effects are too severe, you might consider opting for comfort care as your ultimate objective.
Aggressive medical treatment prioritizes curing the physical ailment over addressing the patient’s emotional and spiritual needs, often requiring intensive clinical care that can reduce life quality. Hospice care, on the other hand, focuses on comfort by alleviating pain and other symptoms while continuing to cater to the emotional and spiritual needs of both the patient and their family.
Hospice care neither extends life nor accelerates death; instead, it eases pain and physical discomfort, allowing the patient to enjoy a more peaceful and fulfilling life quality. At America Hospice and Palliative Care, care and support services primarily occur in the patient’s home or residence. Many families have expressed that they waited too long to fully benefit from hospice care’s offerings.
WHY CHOOSE AMERICA HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE?
"My family would like to that all the hospice team members. Everyone who was involved helped our mother's passing be a peaceful one. We will never forget the kindness and support shown to us and our mother in this final phase of her life. Without the resources you provided us, we would not have been able to enjoy the final months of our mother's life. Knowing that America Hospice staff was there to answer our questions and provide moral and spiritual support gave us more than you will know."
