COPD is classified into four stages based on lung function tests, with stage 1 being mild and stage 4 being the most severe. Your doctor will use these tests, along with factors like age, sex, and ethnicity, to determine the severity of your condition and guide treatment options. Our team can provide support and symptom management at any stage of COPD.
Dementia typically progresses in stages, beginning with mild symptoms and gradually changing over time. Early-stage dementia involves memory loss and confusion, while mid-stage dementia can include difficulty with daily tasks and behavioral changes. In later stages, individuals may need full-time care and assistance with basic activities. Our care team provides support and guidance throughout this journey.
Most hospice care is covered by Medicare, which typically pays for all necessary services with little to no cost for the patient or family. Private insurance and Medicaid also often cover hospice care, helping to reduce financial stress during this important time.
No, not necessarily. Palliative medicine is designed to relieve symptoms such as pain, breathing difficulties, or nausea, and to reduce stress for both patients and their families. It can be provided at any stage after a serious illness diagnosis and works alongside your current medical treatments.
