Education for confident care conversationsThe Senior Project offers clear, compassionate education to help families understand caregiving, changes in health, and care options. Explore topics such as:• Understanding changes in health
• Preparing for family care conversations
• Learning the basics of hospice and supportive careThis is an educational resource—not a healthcare provider or hospice agency. I do not provide medical advice or determine hospice eligibility.Five signs to discuss with the care teamChanges in health can have many causes. These signs may be useful to discuss with a healthcare professional:• Frequent hospitalizations or emergency room visits
• Recurrent infections
• Eating less or losing weight
• Sleeping more or becoming less engaged
• Needing more help with daily careThese signs do not by themselves establish a diagnosis or hospice eligibility. A healthcare professional can help assess what may be causing the changes and what support is available.Frequently Asked QuestionsIs hospice only for the very last days of life?
