Hospice Care and Age UK

From: Prime Time Radio
Length: 00:59:54

Joanne Lynn, Eleanor Clift, and Tom Wright, this week on Prime Time Radio. Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-1 First, Joanne Lynn and Eleanor Clift discuss the benefits of Hospice Care. Once diagnosed as terminal, patients and their families face many hard decisions. When it comes to an older patient such as a parent or spouse, these decisions can be especially hard. Hospice care offers relief for the dying by providing a medically trained caregiver to the patient. It can also prolong life and make it far more comfortable for a patient in their last days; encouraging people have a more meaningful time with family.

Then, Tom Wright, the newly appointed CCEO of Age UK talks about the ever-changing business of aging. He discusses his vision to support a quickly growing demographic, those over the age of 65. Age UK formed in 2010 when several age related charities merged together to better benefit the lives of older people in the UK.
