Welcome to Bristol Hospice Northwest Indiana

When someone with dementia no longer recognizes a spouse, child, or familiar face, loved ones may wonder whether their connection has been lost. Bristol Hospice explains why recognition can change, what families should not assume, how familiar voices and simple moments may still offer comfort, and when to ask the care team for support.

When someone is near the end of life, breathing may become slower, faster, irregular, noisy, shallow, or include pauses. These changes can be upsetting for loved ones to witness. Bristol Hospice explains what families may notice, what not to assume, and when to contact the hospice team for guidance.
