When should a Utah County family ask about hospice?
Ask about hospice when a doctor says the illness is likely terminal within six months if it runs its usual course, or when repeated hospital trips are no longer helping and the goal has shifted to comfort.
Many families say afterward that they wish they had called sooner. Hospice can start in a parent's home, in assisted living or in a nursing home, and choosing hospice can be reversed if the situation changes.
