What Is Hospice Care?

hospice care for united healthcare

Hospice care is a specialized form of healthcare that focuses on comfort and quality of life for individuals facing a terminal illness. When a physician determines that a patient has a life expectancy of six months or less, hospice care becomes an option that prioritizes symptom management, emotional support, and overall well-being instead of curative treatment.

Patients with United Healthcare coverage can receive hospice services without interruption. Even if the patient lives beyond the initial six months, care may continue as long as medically necessary.

Hospice Services Covered by United Healthcare

Journey Palliative and Hospice provides a complete range of services to meet the unique needs of each patient and their family. If your loved one is a United Healthcare member, the following services are provided with no out-of-pocket costs:

How Hospice Can Help Patients with PTSD

by

As one of the top providers of VA hospice care in Burbank, we support and care for many patients with PTSD. Along with our veteran patients, many of our other patients also have PTSD or other manifestations of trauma.

One of our primary goals is to make patients as comfortable as possible during the end of life. That means taking the time and care to address underlying traumas. Here are some of the ways we can help.

  1. Manage symptoms. Trauma can cause symptoms in the body such as pain, discomfort, insomnia, or other forms of unease. It can trigger or exacerbate other conditions, and leave the nervous system in an elevated state. How a patient experiences trauma in the body can range widely based on a number of factors. Patients in hospice can receive treatments that ameliorate these physical symptoms of trauma, improving quality of life. Our providers understand the nuances of trauma, and tailor treatment plans to the needs of every individual patient.
  2. Provide trauma-informed care. Healthcare providers who are not trauma-aware may inadvertently trigger old traumas. Our trauma-informed staff are trained to provide care in a conscientious way that maintains awareness at all times of the past traumas that a patient may have experienced, and how they may still be carrying those traumas now. By communicating clearly with patients and honoring their agency and life experiences, our providers ensure that patients feel safe and respected.
  3. Offer counseling. As a patient nears the end of life, they may feel a desire to work through some of their old traumas. One of the services that hospice provides is psychological and spiritual counseling. Our therapists and chaplains can listen as patients talk through their past experiences, and offer tools for coping with the symptoms of trauma. Every patient brings a unique set of life events, as well as their own spiritual beliefs and cultural systems. Our team strives to meet each patient where they are, providing support that is compatible with the patient’s individual needs and respectful of their background and goals.
  4. Educate loved ones. A patient’s primary caregiver while they are in hospice is a family member or friend. If you are that person, you may sometimes encounter challenges as you are working around your loved one’s PTSD. One of the ways we can support you is by providing you with more education and tools to help navigate and manage your loved one’s trauma. Losing a loved one can also lead to new traumas. That is why we also make grief counseling available to you and your family during this time.

Things That May Surprise You About Grief and Grieving

by

If you are new to the grief process, there are some things about it that may surprise you. The more you know about grief and grieving in advance, the less confusing the process will be. Here are some things that may surprise you.

  1. Grieving can start before a death. It is common to think of grief setting in after a loss. But many people experience grieving before someone dies. This is known as “anticipatory grief.” The person who is terminal may also grieve the loss of their own life before they pass.
  2. You may experience unsettling thoughts and emotions. We expect grief to involve sadness. But it can also come with unexpected thoughts or emotions. For example, you might find yourself feeling guilty or even blaming yourself for your loved one’s death or questioning your feelings about them. This is very normal, and is often a way for our minds to try to distract us from the simple, irrefutable reality that our loved one is gone.
  3. Grief can tire you out physically. Grief saps a lot of energy, and can leave you so tired some days you need to lie down for a while. Sometimes you might just need to cry or rest for a few minutes before you can go on.
  4. Grieving can feel like an altered state. When you are feeling acute grief at the loss of someone close to you, everything feels different. The world you wake up in can feel unfamiliar and unreal, and the way you experience it can also be unusual.
  5. You may experience a crisis of identity, roles, purpose or meaning. When a loved one dies, it can destabilize your sense of self, or take away a role that was critical to your identity. It may feel like there is no longer meaning in the universe, or you may question the purpose and priorities that have guided you in the past.
  6. You may make major changes to your life. In situations where the loss of meaning, purpose, identity or roles ends up shaking up your whole life, you may very well end up making major adjustments to your course. You could decide to start prioritizing things you didn’t in the past, shifting your energy and attention in unexpected ways.
  7. There are opportunities for new beginnings. While the loss of a loved one is painful, there are sometimes some unexpected silver linings that come from the grieving process itself. You may discover new projects, build new relationships, strengthen old ones, or make other changes that bring new meaning and purpose into your life.
