Glen Ellyn, IL, United States – December 2, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Harbor Light Hospice, a healthcare organization providing hospice care in several locations across the United States, has released new online resources on hospice care for HIV/AIDS patients. These resources provide helpful information for a person diagnosed with HIV/AIDS or a person caring for a loved one with the disease. The resources can also help one determine if the time is right for hospice care.

A person can inquire about hospice care at any time after a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. Qualified physicians must certify that a person has a life-expectancy of six months or less to be qualified for hospice services. The new online resources outline some conditions that may indicate that it’s time for a hospice consult:

-Recurring emergency medical needs.
-Occurrence of a serious secondary life threatening issue such as cervical or anal cancer, heart disease, or lymphoma.
-High viral loads and low CD4 counts, which are not benefiting with antiviral therapy.
-Multiple hospitalizations resulting in the desire for complete specialized care.

Also available on the new online resources page is information helping caregivers and potential patients understand how hospice care can be beneficial to a person diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Harbor Light Hospice designs their services to accommodate the needs of this particular disease and offers tailored care that manages pain and symptoms. The professionals at Harbor Light Hospice are equipped to deal with HIV/AIDS variables and stages and are trained to address recurring illnesses, skin care, pain management, nutrition, and proper hydration.

Caregivers of a loved one diagnosed with HIV/AIDS can learn more about Harbor Light Hospice services and how the organization can help assist with certain things like spiritual and emotional support, financial support, relief care and support, and grief counseling. Caregivers will find information about how hospice care can provide relief and peace of mind during what can be an extremely stressful time.

The online resources include information about how to talk with a loved one with HIV/AIDS about hospice care. Caregivers can learn more about how to best be prepared so they can help their loved one through this journey. It is important for both the patient and the family to be educated about the disease and its progression and Harbor Light Hospice can help provide the assistance, support, and understanding needed.

Harbor Light Hospice’s new online resources for hospice care for HIV/AIDS patients can help a person dealing with an HIV/AIDS diagnosis and their loved ones understand how hospice care can help provide the support needed during an extremely difficult and stressful time.
