What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel confident before you sign any paperwork. Start by asking how the staff handles emergencies after hours. It is good to know who you can call at night. Ask how often a nurse will visit the home. You should also ask how they coordinate with your current doctor. Find out what happens if the patient needs more care than a home can provide. Ask if they have a contract with a local inpatient unit. Check if they provide help for family members dealing with grief. Ask how they keep the family updated on the care plan. You have a right to clear answers about these topics. Take your time to get the information you need. A good hospice agency will be happy to explain their process to you.
