SOC313 Week 3 Assignment

Ella Miller has always trusted natural remedies over modern medicine. Dealing with her cancer for years now, she went into remission for some time, but now the cancer has returned and she is in the hospital. She is unsure and hesitant of what the hospital can offer her and prefers to be where she is most comfortable, at home. Judging by Ella’s physical health, which is not good, Ella needs to be attended and cared for more than ever. Being in a hospital is out of her comfort zone and is not mentally soothing for her. Ella needs to be in a place she knows, where she is comfortable and surrounded by loved ones. Taking a look at Ella’s background will help decide whether hospice and palliative care will be needed at home or if she will be better off in a hospital
