Hospice care supports the whole person—physical, emotional, social, and spiritual.

A hospice chaplain provides a safe, compassionate space for patients and families to talk about whatever matters most to them.

Chaplain support may include:

✔ Listening without judgment
✔ Providing prayer or spiritual support, if desired
✔ Helping patients explore meaning, hope, or peace
✔ Supporting families through difficult emotions
✔ Honoring cultural, spiritual, and religious traditions
✔ Helping with end-of-life reflection or legacy
✔ Simply being present when words are hard to find

You do not have to be religious to meet with a hospice chaplain.

Spiritual care is individualized. A chaplain can support someone with a strong faith tradition, someone who is questioning their beliefs, or someone who does not identify as religious at all.

And chaplain visits are optional—you and your family decide what support feels right.

Sometimes comfort comes from medicine.
Sometimes it comes from being heard, understood, and accompanied.

Many people are surprised to learn that hospice care includes more than medical care.

A Medical Social Worker (MSW) is an important member of the hospice team, providing emotional support, guidance, and practical resources for both patients and families.

An MSW can help with:
✔ Emotional support during difficult times
✔ Family meetings and communication
✔ Advance care planning and community resources
✔ Assistance with financial or insurance concerns
✔ Coping with caregiver stress
✔ Grief preparation and emotional support

Hospice isn’t just about caring for the patient—it’s about supporting the entire family.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

One question families often ask is:
“Will hospice still treat an infection?”

The answer is yes—when it supports your loved one’s goals of care and comfort.

Every situation is different.

Sometimes treatment, including antibiotics, may help relieve symptoms and improve comfort.

Other times, treatment may offer little benefit or may cause unwanted side effects.

Hospice nurses work closely with patients, families, and providers to determine the best approach based on the individual’s wishes and overall condition.

Our focus is always the same:
Maximizing comfort, preserving dignity, and supporting informed decisions.

There is no “right” choice for every person—only the choice that best aligns with your loved one’s goals.

One of the most common questions families ask is:
“Why is my loved one sleeping so much?”

As serious illnesses progress, it’s common for people to spend more time sleeping or resting.

This can happen because the body is conserving energy and needs more time to recover from even small activities.

Here are a few things that can help:
✔ Let them sleep if they are comfortable
✔ Speak softly before touching or repositioning them
✔ Plan visits during times when they are more alert
✔ Don’t worry if conversations become shorter
✔ Focus on comfort rather than trying to keep them awake

Even if your loved one is sleeping, hearing is believed to be one of the last senses to diminish.

Continue talking, holding their hand, playing familiar music, or simply sitting quietly beside them.

Your presence matters more than you may realize.

Increased sleep can be a normal part of the disease process, but every person is different.

If you notice changes or have questions, your hospice team is here to help guide and support you.

A fall can change everything.

Even when there isn’t an obvious injury, a fall may be a sign that your loved one’s condition is changing.

Simple steps can help reduce the risk:
✔ Keep walkways clear of clutter
✔ Use night lights in hallways and bathrooms
✔ Encourage the use of walkers or other prescribed mobility aids
✔ Wear supportive, non-slip footwear
✔ Rise slowly from bed or a chair
✔ Ask for assistance when feeling weak or unsteady

If a fall does happen, let your hospice team know—even if your loved one seems okay.

Your hospice nurse can assess for injuries, identify possible causes, and recommend ways to help prevent future falls.

Small changes today can help keep your loved one safer tomorrow.

Constipation is one of the most common—and uncomfortable—symptoms experienced by people receiving hospice care.

It can cause:
- abdominal discomfort or bloating
- nausea
- decreased appetite
- restlessness or confusion
- increased pain

The good news is that it’s often preventable.

Your hospice team may recommend:
✔ Drinking fluids, if appropriate
✔ Eating fiber when tolerated
✔ Gentle movement, if able
✔ A regular bowel regimen
✔ Monitoring bowel movements closely—especially when taking opioid pain medications

Don’t wait until your loved one is uncomfortable.

Early recognition and treatment can make a significant difference in comfort and quality of life.

💛 Small steps can bring meaningful relief.

As we celebrate Independence Day, we’re reminded that some of life’s greatest blessings aren’t found in fireworks or festivities.

They’re found in the quiet moments.

Sharing a meal.
Watching the sunset.
Listening to old stories.
Holding a loved one’s hand.
Simply being together.

At Gabrielle Hospice Care, we believe every person deserves comfort, dignity, and the opportunity to spend meaningful time with the people they love.

This Fourth of July, we wish you and your family a safe, peaceful holiday filled with moments that matter most.

❤️ Happy Independence Day from all of us at Gabrielle Hospice Care.

Many families are surprised to learn that oxygen in hospice care is not always used the way it is in a hospital.

In hospice, the goal is comfort.

Oxygen may be used to help ease feelings of shortness of breath or breathlessness, even when oxygen levels aren't being closely monitored.

As a loved one's condition changes, their needs may change too. Some people find oxygen very comforting. Others may no longer find it helpful.

That's why hospice care focuses on the person—not just the numbers.

Our team regularly assesses symptoms and comfort to help ensure care remains aligned with your loved one's needs and goals.

Every journey is unique, and we're here to help guide families through it.

One of the most common concerns families have is:

"They seemed comfortable earlier. Why are they hurting now?"

As illness progresses, pain can sometimes increase suddenly or "break through" even when regular pain medications are being given.

This is called breakthrough pain.

Signs may include:
✔ Facial grimacing or frowning
✔ Restlessness or agitation
✔ Moaning or calling out
✔ Guarding an area of the body
✔ Sudden changes in breathing or comfort

Hospice nurses work closely with families to recognize these changes and adjust the plan of care when needed.

No one should have to suffer in pain.

And families should never feel like they have to figure it out alone.

If your loved one appears uncomfortable, call your hospice team. We're here to help provide guidance, support, and comfort.

Families often tell us:
"We thought it was just old age."

But sometimes, gradual changes can signal a decline in overall health.

Signs of functional decline may include:

✔ Spending more time in bed or a chair
✔ Needing help with bathing, dressing, or toileting
✔ Increased weakness or difficulty walking
✔ More frequent falls or near-falls
✔ Sleeping more and participating less in daily activities
✔ Eating less or losing weight
✔ Withdrawing from conversations or favorite activities

These changes often happen slowly, making them easy to miss.

Recognizing functional decline early can help families access support, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life.

You don't have to wait for a crisis to ask questions.

Concerned about changes in your loved one?
We're here to help you understand your options.
