Medical supplies and equipment
Brought in through an outside supplier

Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Picking a hospice team is a very important decision for your family. It is helpful to ask clear questions before you decide. Here are some things you should ask any provider you talk with:

  • How quickly can your team come to our home if we have an emergency?
  • How do you manage pain and keep the patient comfortable?
  • What kind of emotional or spiritual support do you offer to our family?
  • How often will a nurse visit our home to check on my loved one?

Asking these questions helps you understand the level of care your family will get. Do not feel rushed to make a choice. Take the time to talk with the staff and see if they feel like the right fit. A good hospice provider will be happy to answer your questions with patience and care. You deserve to feel confident in the team you choose to help your loved one.
