What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

You should also ask how often the team will visit your home. Ask if they have experience with the specific illness your loved one faces. Another question is how they help family members cope with grief. You want to know if they provide support for you as well as the patient. Ask how they coordinate care with your current doctor.
