Description
Lots of people across the United States (22% of adults age 65 and up) are aging alone. That means that planning for caregiving needs for this demographic group is very important. When an older adult doesn’t have a family member who is able to provide caregiving, who will care for them as they move forward the end of life? This situation calls for some creativity - being involved in groups that offer support, making wishes known to healthcare providers, and documenting end of life wishes legally. There are solutions to this challenge. This article from U.S. News and World Report offers some tips. If you or someone you know is aging alone and needing to consider hospice care, The Heart of Hospice is here to help. Access our website 24/7, and listen to the podcast to connect with resources on hospice care and advance care planning. We’re here to help you on your hospice journey - you are The Heart of Hospice!
