What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Finding the right hospice team can feel overwhelming. Start by asking clear questions to help your decision. Consider these points when you meet with a provider:

  • How quickly can a nurse get to our home during an emergency?
  • What specific services do you provide to support the family's emotional needs?
  • How does your team handle pain and other symptoms for the patient?
  • Can you explain how hospice care is covered by Medicare or other insurance?

Write down these questions before your meeting. Take notes on their answers to compare later. Do not feel rushed to make a choice. You want a team that is kind, clear, and easy to reach. Trust your instincts when you talk to the staff.
