About EXCEL HOSPICE, INC
This agency operates as a for-profit provider. They have been part of the Medicare system for several years now. Being a freestanding hospice means they focus their entire effort on hospice services rather than running other medical departments. The team includes one registered nurse and one licensed practical nurse. They do not currently use volunteers in their daily operations. CHAP accreditation acts as an outside check on how they run their business. This means a third party visits them to confirm they meet high marks for care. It helps families feel more secure about the service they receive. You should always ask how a provider manages their daily team visits. Ask them how they stay in touch with your family doctor too. Good communication makes a major difference in daily care quality.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should speak with several agencies before you make a final choice. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. Find out how they handle pain management during the night or on weekends. It is also wise to ask how they coordinate care with your current doctor. Ask if they have staff who can visit on short notice if the patient's condition changes. You might also want to know how they help families cope with the stress of caregiving. Do they offer extra support for the family after the patient passes away? These answers help you see if a provider fits your unique situation. Take your time to get clear answers for every question on your list.
