How to Best Serve Military Veterans on Hospice
Manage episode 419939486 series 2528844
1 in 4 Medicare hospice patients is a U.S. military veteran. End of life workers need to know how to take care of their special needs and enhance their quality of life. It’s important for EOL teams to know the signs of PTSD and how to listen when these patients (and their caregivers!) are communicating what they need.
Many military veterans experience trauma, guilt, and anger, causing what is identified as “soul injury”. Having a soul injury or PTSD creates a need for specialized care. Opus Peace has a great inventory tool for assessing whether someone has experienced a soul injury. The Soul Inventory is available for free on the Opus Peace website. You can access the Soul Injury Inventory here.
Every discipline on the hospice team, including the End of Life (or Death) Doula, brings skills that seriously ill and terminally ill veterans need. The caregivers providing support for those veterans need support as well. Those caregivers are advocates, coordinators, and spokespersons for the veterans they care about.
