If you are caring for someone with dementia, then it's a good idea to learn about hospice care.

I want you to know about hospice care and how helpful they can be BEFORE your loved one's needs it because most people wait way too long to introduce hospice and that's exactly why hospice has been associated with a quick death. It doesn't have to be that way.

Many people don't ask about hospice because they worry it's a sign they are "giving up" on their loved one.

The truth is, hospice care is the opposite of giving up and can be one of the most helpful and supportive resources for people with dementia and their families.

• Hospice care doesn't mean the person is days or weeks from dying.
• Hospice doesn't mean you are giving up.
• Hospice doesn't mean you have to be in a hospital or nursing home.
• Hospice doesn't mean the person can't take any medications or receive treatment.

In this past Sunday's video, I go over 8 myths of hospice care and share with you just how helpful it can be.

I hope it helps you and I hope you can be encouraged by the many comments from people who shared their personal experience with hospice.
