What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Talking to a provider can help you feel more sure of your choice. Start by asking how many nurses they have on staff. You should also ask how they handle pain management for their patients. Ask them about their response time for urgent calls at night. It is smart to ask who will be the main person you talk to for questions. Ask about the specific areas they cover in Contra Costa County. Do they have experience with your loved one's specific health condition? You might want to ask if they offer spiritual support or grief counseling too. A good provider will be happy to answer these questions for you. Take notes on what they say. That way, you can compare different agencies later.
