Shaking The Taboo and Embracing Hospice: Expert Insights from Social Worker Tiffany Carroll
Manage episode 403919876 series 3484634
In our 28th episode of The Probate Podcast, I chat with Tiffany Carroll, a hospice social worker who spills the beans on what hospice is really about. We bust myths about it being a death sentence, explaining how it can actually help people live better. Tiffany shares nuggets on why families sometimes struggle to embrace hospice, the vital role of social workers in this space, and why having open talks about end-of-life wishes is a game-changer.
I am so grateful to hear about a day in the life of Tiffany and share her hospice social worker tips and insights with you.
🌟 What More People Should Consider About Hospice Care:
- Hospice isn't just about counting down; it's about getting good care and maybe even thriving a bit.
- Start talking about hospice early, so decisions match what the person really wants, and there's less chaos later.
- Hospice social workers don't just handle medical stuff; they're like ongoing emotional and practical support.
- Ask real questions about how people live, respecting different ways of doing things in hospice.
- Palliative care kicks in with any serious illness, focusing on curative strategies.
- Get a real estate person involved to help plan around hospice care and housing needs, and help fund costs through the equity of your home.
- People often want hospice earlier than you'd think! Don't assume.
- Families, just talk openly about what someone wants at the end, so everyone gets it without the stress.
