PDF-(READ)-The Crisis of US Hospice Care: Family and Freedom at the End of Life

Exploring the failure of hospice in America to care for patients and families at the end of lifeHospice is the dominant form of endoflife care in the United States But while the US hospice system provides many forms of treatment that are beneficial to dying people and their families it does not encompass what is commonly referred to as longterm care which includes help with the activities of daily living feeding bathing general safety and routine hygienic maintenance Frequently such care is carried out by an informal network of unpaid caregivers such as the persons family or loved ones who are often illprepared to offer this type of supportIn The Crisis of US Hospice Care Harold Braswell argues that the stress of providing longterm care typically overwhelms family members and that overdependence on familial caregiving constitutes a crisis of US hospice care that limits the freedom of dying people Arguing for the need to focus on the time just before death Braswell examines how the relationship of hospice to familial caregiving evolved He traces the history of hospice over the past fifty years and describes the choice that people dying with inadequate familial support face between a neglectful home environment and an impersonal nursing homeA nuanced look at the personal and political dimensions that shape longterm endoflife care this historical and ethnographic study demonstrates that the crisis in US hospice care can be alleviated only by establishing the centrality of hospice to American freedom Providing a model for the transformative work that is required going forward The Crisis of US Hospice Care illustrates the potential of hospice for facilitating a new way of living our last days and for having the best death possible.
