patients in care on an average day
A rough measure of size. Smaller can mean more personal. Larger can mean more resources.
Medicare reports this hospice billed for routine home care only from January 2022 through December 2024. Hospices can also provide continuous home care, inpatient care, and respite care when symptoms are harder to manage. There can be good reasons for this. Ask the provider how they handle a crisis at home.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Finding the right match takes a few smart questions. Start by asking how the staff handles emergencies at night or on weekends. You need to know who answers the phone. Ask how often a nurse will visit your loved one each week. It is also good to ask how they manage pain and other symptoms. You should ask what role volunteers play in the daily care plan. Ask if they have experience with your specific health condition. Finally, ask what happens if your needs change suddenly. Do they have a way to move you to a different level of care? These answers help you understand how they work. Be sure you feel heard by the person you speak with during the interview. A good provider will answer clearly and with kindness. Take your time with these talks. You deserve clear answers for your family.
