The exact length of hospice care varies from patient to patient. Many San Diego patients begin receiving care when it is believed they are in the final 6 months of life. Hospice can be ended and restarted at any time.

Knowing when it’s the right time for hospice care can be difficult. It should always be discussed with your loved one and their physician. Below are a few helpful guidelines to determine when it is time for San Diego hospice:

• It is believed the patient has 6 months or less to live.
• The patient is rapidly declining, despite medical treatment.
• The patient prefers to forego treatment and live more comfortably.

It’s important to remember hospice care can end and restart at any time.
