If my loved one is on hospice, does that mean I can’t seek aggressive treatment if I so choose?

NO. Hospice is actually a win-win situation. Should you choose to seek aggressive treatment, then we simply discharge your loved one from service, and if the treatments are unsuccessful your loved one can be re-admitted to our services. That’s what is so beneficial about the hospice benefit, it is a win-win situation for you and your loved one. But please keep in mind, hospice specializes in palliative care for the comfort and not to attempt to cure a terminally ill patient.
