Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
Medicare lets hospices provide these services through arrangements with other organizations. Either way, the hospice stays responsible for the covered care in the patient’s plan of care.

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. Hospices can also provide continuous home care, inpatient care, and respite care when symptoms are harder to manage. There can be good reasons for this. Ask the provider how they handle a crisis at home.

About D'AMORE HOSPICE, LLC

Understanding Hospice Care in Phoenix
Phoenix has many hospice choices, which can feel overwhelming for a family. Most agencies serve the entire Maricopa County area, meaning they can come to your home or a care facility. The quality of these agencies varies, so looking at the CMS star ratings is a smart way to start. But remember, the best way to choose is to talk with them directly. Ask about their response times and how they handle after-hours calls. You want a team that responds fast when you need help at 2:00 AM. Many families find that meeting the staff helps them feel more at ease. It is all about finding a group that fits your family's specific values and needs. Do not be afraid to interview more than one provider before you make your final choice.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel empowered to ask tough questions during your first meeting. Here are a few things to consider asking:
- How quickly can a nurse get to our home if there is an emergency?
- What specific services do you offer to support the emotional needs of the family?
- How does your team coordinate care with our current primary doctor?
- Can you explain how your team manages pain and other difficult symptoms?
