patients in care on an average day
A rough measure of size. Smaller can mean more personal. Larger can mean more resources.
Medicare reports this hospice billed for routine home care only from January 2022 through December 2024.

Ask the provider how they handle a crisis at home.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing the right hospice provider is an important step for your family. It is okay to ask many questions before you make a decision. Here are some things you should consider asking:
- How often will a nurse visit my loved one at home?
- What support do you offer for family members and caregivers?
- How does your team handle pain and symptom management on weekends?
- What is the process if we need to reach someone in the middle of the night?
These questions help you understand how the provider works. They also help you see if their values match your family's needs. A good provider will be happy to answer these questions clearly. Do not feel rushed to pick a provider. Take your time to find the right fit for your loved one. Your comfort and peace of mind are the most important things to consider throughout this process.
