Alzheimer's Dementia Hospice Care What to Expect

In this video on What to Expect with Hospice Nurse Julie, we talk about Alzheimer's Dementia and the different progressions that we are able to observe including the difficulty of Alzheimer's Dementia. Often times with Alzheimer's, it could be a long time before a patient is in Hospice Care and that can be a frustrating, difficult, and stressful time for the family. I hope this video gives you insight into what to expect from Alzheimer's Dementia and Hospice Care.

I love to hear your thoughts and look forward to the ongoing conversation around hospice care and education around end of life practices.

When dealing with any medically related events or medical emergencies, please communicate with your primary health care provider.
