Dementia & Alzheimer’s Hospice Care in Los Angeles

Specialized Care for Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Caring for a loved one with advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can be overwhelming for families. As memory loss progresses, daily routines, safety, and communication often require more support than families can manage alone.

When to Consider Hospice for Dementia or Alzheimer’s

Hospice care may be appropriate when dementia has advanced to a stage where:

• Your loved one can no longer walk, dress, or bathe without assistance
• There are difficulties with swallowing or frequent weight loss
• Frequent infections, including aspiration pneumonia or urinary tract infections, occur
• Communication is very limited or no longer possible
• The focus shifts from prolonging life to prioritizing comfort and dignity
