Who Do We Serve

You or your loved one may be considered for hospice care if four or more of the following apply. Final eligibility is always determined by your physician in collaboration with our Medical Director.

Informal Indicators of Eligibility:

• I have begun feeling more fatigued or physically weaker.
• I often experience shortness of breath, even while resting.
• I spend most of the day in bed or seated in a chair.
• I have noticed significant weight loss over the past six months.
• I frequently call my physician for medical assistance.
• I take medication regularly to help manage physical pain.
• I have experienced several falls during the past six months.
• I have required multiple visits to the emergency room recently.
• I need help with essential daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, cooking, or moving from bed to chair.
• My physician has told me my life expectancy may be limited.

If you answered “yes” to four or more of these statements, it may be appropriate to begin considering hospice care. If you do not have a primary physician, DIVINE LIGHT HOSPICE LLC can connect you with our Medical Director, a Doctor of Internal Medicine, for a full evaluation.
