Hospice & Palliative · Kentucky · Free

Education and resources for those facing end-of-life issues and grief. Relevant for any seriously ill senior whose symptoms (pain, breathlessness, anxiety) aren't being well-managed. Hospice intake usually happens in 24-48 hours from the first call; teams visit at home and don't require a hospital stay. The CAPC palliative care directory lists hospital-based teams; most major medical centers now have one. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
