So often patients are recommended to hospice care and yet they resist. It’s a scary type of healthcare, because the associations are often that “this is it” and that hospice involves giving up. None of that is true and embracing hospice services earlier can make a huge difference in the time that your senior has left with you and the rest of her family.
It Can Improve Your Senior’s Quality of Life
The biggest goal in hospice elder care is for your senior’s quality of life to be as high as possible. Having the help that she needs can greatly reduce her stress levels, which directly impacts her health and her overall well-being. It’s a winning answer.
Hospice Elder Care Can Also Reduce Hospital Visits
Having help right there from hospice care providers can greatly reduce the likelihood that your senior needs to go to the hospital. Returning to the hospital affects quality of life and can also cause your senior to become weaker and feel worse in the long run. Having routine health checks at home can be a great solution.
Your Senior Learns More about What She’s Experiencing
Much of aging and declining health feels like such a mystery. Your senior may even feel as if people and medical professionals talk around her more than talking to her. Hospice elder care providers know how to make sure your senior understands what’s going on and why things are happening.
There’s Hands-on Help When You and Your Senior Need It
There’s so much involved in end-of-life health issues that has to be done. Some of that involves medical assistance that you might not feel comfortable handling on your own. Having hands-on help from experienced providers makes a huge difference.
There’s Emotional Support for the Entire Family
The end of your senior’s life doesn’t just affect her, it affects the entire family. Hospice involves making sure that your senior’s entire family gets the emotional support that they need in order to grieve. This holistic approach ensures that all of your senior’s family members are able to deal with their grief in a healthy way as much as possible.
Hospice isn’t a permanent situation, either. If your elderly family member’s situation improves significantly through hospice care and she wants to return to curative treatments, that’s an option she can take. Knowing it doesn’t have to be permanent can give your senior the strength to say yes to hospice.

My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Arcy Healthcare. Arcy Healthcare includes Arcy Hospice, Arcy Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Arcy at Home.
Arcy Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Arcy Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Arcy at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Arcy Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
