Our nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains step in with one goal: protect comfort and dignity while giving loved ones the freedom to simply be together. By uniting clinical skill with steady emotional support, we turn anxious days into calmer, more meaningful time.

🧠 Supporting Someone After a Stroke or in a Coma? Let Hospice Help.

When a loved one has had a major stroke or is in a coma, the road ahead can be filled with uncertainty. If they’re not improving and you’re beginning to consider hospice, Cadre Hospice is here to offer gentle guidance, comfort, and care—every step of the way.

🧩 Signs Hospice May Help with Stroke or Coma

It’s often hard to know when hospice might be appropriate. One clear sign is when a person has had a serious stroke with major bleeding seen on a CT scan. In some cases, over 30% of the brain is affected, or the brain shifts significantly (called a midline shift), which often means recovery is unlikely.

Hospice may also be the right choice if your loved one:

  • Is in a coma and, by day three, shows no brain stem reflexes, no response to pain, and no speech.
  • Has other complications like high creatinine levels, ongoing infections, or sepsis.
  • Experiences repeated fevers or has serious skin wounds that aren’t healing.
  • Is unable to eat, speak, or respond and is fully dependent on others for care.

When these signs are present, hospice can help ease the focus away from medical interventions and toward comfort, dignity, and emotional support for everyone involved.

When To Consider Hospice Care for a Cancer Patient

Signs It Might Be Time to Talk

Reach out if you notice any of the following:

  • Two or more unplanned ER or hospital stays in six months
  • Dependence on others for bathing, eating, or safe transfers
  • Ongoing weight loss or difficulty swallowing enough calories
  • Limited speech, prolonged coma, or drifting levels of awareness
  • Caregivers feeling stretched thin or anxious about “the next emergency”

Planning early replaces last‑minute decisions with clear, shared choices.

Eligibility—Made Simple

Medicare generally covers hospice when life expectancy is thought to be about six months. Stroke survivors often qualify once curative treatment has ended and daily function keeps declining.

We work directly with your physician to confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.

Cadre Provides

  • Targeted relief for pain, breathlessness, muscle rigidity, or swallowing problems
  • Daily‑living help—bathing, grooming, light meals, gentle positioning
  • Equipment & supplies—hospital bed, lift, mobility aids, dressings
  • 24/7 nurse line & rapid visits
  • Therapy as needed to prevent contractures and maintain comfort

Your Family Gains

  • Fewer panicked calls, more peaceful nights
  • Energy to focus on stories, photos, and quiet connection
  • No stressful last‑minute rentals or store runs
  • Answers and hands‑on help whenever you need them
