130 | When a Person with Dementia Doesn't Meet Hospice Criteria
In this original What the Dementia episode, we will discuss why some individuals with dementia may not meet the criteria for hospice care, despite facing significant challenges in their condition. We explore a real-life scenario to illustrate the complexities of hospice eligibility and highlights the importance of understanding these criteria for dementia caregivers.
Clarification Statement for Listeners: While some hospices use a patient's eating status to determine eligibility because it's easier to predict death, it's important to note that if a person with dementia stops all eating, they likely have only a few weeks left. At this stage, accessing the full benefits of hospice care becomes challenging. This highlights the importance of being aware of the actual criteria for hospice eligibility and advocating for timely care.
