What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should speak with a few different agencies before you decide. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. This is a very common concern for families. Ask about their weekend and night coverage plans. You want to know who answers the phone after business hours. Also, ask how they help with emotional and spiritual needs. Do they have volunteers who can sit with your loved one? It is also good to ask how they work with your current doctor. A strong connection between the hospice team and your own physician is a sign of good care. Ask them to explain their process for managing pain. Do they have a clear plan to adjust meds if symptoms change? You deserve clear answers to these questions. Take your time to find the right fit.
