Join us for breakfast tacos, coffee and juice to discuss and answer your questions regarding the little-known benefits for people who are living with dementia.

There are indeed some common myths about hospice and dementia care. One myth is that hospice is only for people in the last days or weeks of life. In reality, hospice is appropriate when someone has a life-limiting illness and a prognosis of six months or less, and this can include individuals with dementia.

Another myth is that hospice is only about giving up on treatment. In fact, hospice focuses on providing comfort and quality of life, emphasizing symptom management and emotional support. It doesn't mean abandoning care; rather, it focuses on enhancing the person's remaining time.

When it comes to dementia care, there's a misconception that all dementia patients should be in a nursing home. In truth, many people with dementia can receive care at home with proper support and resources. Home care can enhance their sense of familiarity and comfort.

Remember, everyone's situation is unique, and the best approach to care can vary. Always seek information from reliable sources and healthcare professionals.
