Cancer

Longleaf Hospice specializes in cancer patient hospice care.

Overview

When is is time for end-stage Cancer hospice care?

Answering these questions may serve as a guide:

  • Are your (or your loved one’s) medications no longer effective in managing symptoms?
  • Are you (or your loved one) rapidly weakening while the malignancy progresses?
  • Are you (or your loved one) ready to seek “aggressive comfort care” instead of aggressive treatment?
    If you answered “yes” to these questions, now may be an appropriate time to discuss Longleaf with your physician or one of our clinical professionals. Feel free to call us directly at 770-939-9179.
