Help Your Loved One Receive Compassionate Care
Discover hospice care options in Charlotte, NC
Individuals facing life-threatening or terminal illnesses frequently experience decreases in strength and functional capacity, and encounter symptom management and pain control issues that can impair quality of life. Caregivers often voice concerns regarding the appropriate manner in which to care for individuals in hospice or palliative care and frequently expose themselves to physical tasks that may put them at risk of injury without proper training.
The role of the Physical or Occupational Therapist in hospice care is different from the role the therapist plays when a member of a rehabilitation team. Therapists change from a controlling role to one of listener and problem-solver. In this manner, therapists can assist the patient to maintain functional abilities for as long as possible, reduce the burden of care for the caregivers, assist in pain control. Physical and Occupational Therapists can provide hospice nurses with valuable assistance in caring for hospice patients.(2)
