EP29 – What Hospice Really Is: Living Fully with Support from Sutter Care at Home’s Jerry Louderback
Why do so many families wait until the very end to call hospice?
In this powerful and compassionate episode, I sit down with Jerry Louderback, a 25-year hospice veteran and leader at Sutter Care at Home – Concord Hospice, to demystify what hospice really is—and what families are missing when they delay getting support.
Jerry shares why our culture avoids talking about death, what hospice care actually looks like, and how it’s designed not to help people die—but to help them live fully in their final chapter.
We also tackle the biggest myths:
❌ Hospice is only for the last day or two
❌ Hospice is a physical place you go to
❌ Hospice means giving up
✅ The truth? Hospice is a philosophy of care that comes to you, meets you where you are, and supports both the patient and the family through compassionate, expert care.
📍 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why conversations about death are avoided—and how that hurts families
- What it really means to receive hospice care
- The difference between palliative and hospice care
- What families gain when they don’t wait until the very end
- How hospice supports emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing
Whether you’re navigating care decisions for a parent or simply want to understand this vital service more clearly—this episode is packed with clarity and compassion.
