Is hospice care appropriate for Alzheimer patients?

L Volicer1, B J Volicer, A C Hurley.   

Abstract

Hospice care can benefit late-stage Alzheimer's patients, but caregivers and families must first be aware of the complications and treatment difficulties that often accompany Alzheimer's disease. From this awareness they can determine whether and when hospice care is appropriate for their patients or loved ones.
