What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You need to feel good about the choice you make for your loved one. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. It is also good to ask how they handle pain management on weekends or at night. Find out if they have experience with the specific illness your family member has. Ask about their communication style. Will they call you after every visit to update you on the care provided? You should also ask how they support family members who are grieving. Do they offer counseling or other resources? Ask if they have a chaplain or social worker on their team to help with non medical needs. Clear answers will help you make a choice that brings you peace. Take your time with these questions. You deserve to know exactly how they will support your family.
