Family Hospice and Palliative Care’s Pathways programs expertly address the physical, emotional and spiritual concerns specific to patients and caregivers living with advanced-stage progressive conditions like heart failure and dementia.
Most people continue to think of hospice as a short-term offering. However, patients with longer term, chronic illnesses can be in the final stage of their disease for an extended period of time, with significant needs related to education, comfort and support for themselves and for their caregivers. Family Hospice has much to offer these families.

| Pathways: A Specialized Heart Failure Program |
People living with advanced-stage heart failure often are plagued by exacerbations of symptoms like pain, shortness of breath and fatigue. Pathways expertly manages these symptoms, provides an array of supportive resources and makes possible timely intervention at home to minimize the hospitalizations that interrupt day-to-day living for these individuals and families.

| Pathways: A Specialized Dementia Program |
Advanced dementia can include a variety of distressing symptoms such as eating problems, episodes of fever, difficulty breathing, pneumonia and pain – all symptoms caused by the brain failure that typifies dementia. Burdensome interventions often follow the onset of these symptoms.
People living with advanced-stage dementia are at risk for loss of quality of life and dignity. Pathways alleviates uncomfortable symptoms and presents an alternative to painful interventions with an expertise that effectively restores and preserves quality of life for both patient and family.
