The Hours Ahead: a hospice guide for families
A paid, 228-page PDF guide for US families navigating hospice, organized around what they may see, what they can do, and who to call.
- For
- US families navigating hospice care at home
- Worth noticing
- The medication chapter discusses research and warning signs but explicitly gives no doses; dosing remains with the hospice team.
Field notes
The chapter previews follow common questions at home: breathing changes, eating and drinking stopping, agitation or confusion, medication concerns, and the first hour after death. The page says the PDF has 14 chapters and is compiled from cited published sources; it also says the guide was not written or reviewed by a healthcare professional. It explicitly leaves medication dosing to the hospice team and directs readers to their hospice line when unsure what to do.
