It is never too soon to call Hospice. Shortly after you have received a diagnosis is the best time for the conversation to begin. The earlier United Hospice becomes involved, the sooner we can help and the better the outcome for the entire family. You can start to gather information, explore your loved one’s wishes and focus on living in comfort with their remaining time. We frequently hear from patients and their families that have benefited from our services <\/span>“I wish I had called Hospice sooner.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Another is\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/unitedhospiceinc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Is-it-time-for-hospice-2.png” title_text=”Is it time for hospice 2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|35px|35px|35px|35px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/unitedhospiceinc.org\/self-assessment-questionnaire\/” button_text=”Take the Self-Assessment Questionnaire” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”0px|||||” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#00A7B5″ header_3_font=”Open Sans Condensed|600|||||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#00A7B5″ header_3_font_size=”47px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_font=”|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#01426A” header_4_font_size=”24px” header_3_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_3_font_size_phone=”” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you or your loved one may be eligible for hospice services:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”Is treatment no longer helping, working or desired?” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”$||divi||400″ icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”40px” content_max_width=”100%” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#234561″ header_font_size=”24px” icon_font_size=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}” header_3_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_phone=”32px”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Has the patient experienced one or more life-threatening infections during the past six months?
