Care wherever your loved one feels most at home

We bring dementia and Alzheimer’s hospice care to private homes, assisted living communities, memory-care settings, and nursing facilities throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Care is coordinated with the patient’s physician and the hospice team so families have a clear, compassionate point of support.

What families can expect from Quality of Life Hospice

Hospice care begins with listening. We learn about the patient’s symptoms, daily routines, personal values, cultural preferences, and goals for comfort. A coordinated team may include nurses, physicians, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, counselors, volunteers, and other appropriate professionals. The team communicates with the patient, family caregivers, attending physician, and care facility so everyone understands the plan and knows whom to call when needs change.

The plan of care is reviewed and adjusted as the illness progresses. Families receive practical teaching, emotional support, and 24/7 access to on-call hospice guidance. Medications, supplies, and equipment related to the hospice diagnosis may be coordinated when they are included in the individualized plan of care. Every recommendation is explained in plain language, revisited as circumstances change, and shaped around what the patient and family consider most important for comfort and quality of life. The goal is not to rush decisions, but to provide clear information and steady support so each day can center on comfort, connection, dignity, and peace.

Frequently asked questions

When should a family consider hospice for advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s disease?

Hospice may be appropriate when advanced dementia has led to major functional decline—such as needing help with walking, dressing, bathing, eating, or continence—along with complications such as recurrent infections, aspiration, pressure injuries, or significant weight loss. Medicare eligibility still requires a physician-certified prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its usual course; no single sign decides eligibility.

What does Dementia & Alzheimer’s hospice care include?

Services are selected according to the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, goals, and hospice plan of care. Support can include clinical visits, symptom guidance, caregiver education, emotional and spiritual care, care coordination, and access to on-call help when concerns arise.

Where can hospice support be provided?

Most routine hospice care is provided wherever the patient calls home. This may be a private residence, assisted living or memory-care community, nursing facility, or another appropriate setting in the Las Vegas Valley. The team coordinates visits with the patient, family, facility staff, and physician.

How can our family learn whether hospice is appropriate?

You may contact Quality of Life Hospice directly for an informational conversation. We can listen to your concerns, explain the hospice benefit and eligibility process, and coordinate with the patient’s healthcare providers when an evaluation or referral is appropriate. There is no obligation to enroll simply because you ask for information.
