MYTH: Hospice means strangers care for you.
FACT: Hospice provides a dedicated team of specialists to suit the needs of each patient and educate family members to serve as caregivers.
TRU Community Care strives to educate family members to serve as the primary caregivers for an end-of-life patient. For example, TRU Community Care patient Tom’s wife, Laura, said, “I learned to more willingly lean on others, to allow others – hospice staff, family, friends – to assist with Tom’s care – giving him a wider circle to help care for him during his final weeks.”
