Bowel Regimen

Maximum Care Hospice provides personalized bowel regimens to promote comfort, prevent constipation, and support dignity in end-of-life care. Our nursing team closely monitors bowel patterns—especially when patients are prescribed opioids, which commonly slow gastrointestinal function. Interventions may include stool softeners, laxatives, enemas, hydration support, and manual bowel dis-impaction when clinically indicated. Every approach is tailored to the patient’s condition, medication profile, and preferences, ensuring relief and respectful care throughout their hospice journey.
