Palliative Care vs Hospice Care- what we learned

This week we try to help you all understand  the difference between Palliative Care vs Hospice Care. Phyllis Banks came back to share with us her experience with each as she cared for her husband Bob who had LBD and has since passed. These two types of care can be very confusing and even after we recorded, we learned more. For me in NJ, I did not have to get his primary dr. to recommend. I just made a call and said Jim has LBD. We also learned each state may be different so make those calls ya'll.LBD diagnosis qualifies for palliative care. Be that squeaky wheel for your loved one or for yourself.Link for doc comparing eachhttps://www.nhpco.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PalliativeCare_VS_Hospice.pdfShould you wish to bless us with your support you can go to:Copy and paste link, if neededhttps://patreon.com/lewybodyrollercoasterpodcastthe GoFundMe page athttps://gofund.me/c416ecb6Patron Shout OutA very special shout out to Miriam and Matthew Geraci for being super monthly patrons BronzeAmySarah SzypulaMatthew SzypulaAndrew SzypulaPolina DinevaGinger GillmoreTedd WinklerRyan SamuelGillian ThompsonSilver Patrons                                         Bonnie Ziegler-Weber                                  Mark Youlden                                                      Lisa DeRosaKaren Klink    Rita McCord                                                                     Gold PatronsSharon WelchNancy GuerroPhyllis BanksCindy      Marcia TreffmanJay MacLeanSheila FureyChris OaksLenny AsuncionPat CrawfordBelinda RayCherie LawrenceLinda BolbeckerPlatinum PatronsDarlene Passmore-ArmstrongThomas ConnellyPat CrawfordTere WisellRobin LavaronAlisa MahoneyAlbert Ferraro and FamilyNorma LoebSuper Patrons.           Miriam and Matthew GeraciGo Fund Me Shout OutsLisa DeRoaLaketta MitchellLori KragHeather and Lewis GrossitGeri SeraJaneen ObisDeb SummersWendy CoganSusan LavoiceLJean HowellMarcia TreffmanTedde Hope HamiltonGeri SeraMelinda FarmerMichaele CouchPia BedardRussell LebovitzNancy GuerroThank you for listening each week.Join our Lewy Body Roller Coaster Podcast Facebook page.If you have a topic you would like us to discuss or wish to share your thoughts on any episode, please email us at [email protected] the show
