It is about honoring a person's wishes at the end of their life journey. In Pacific Palisades, you have several choices for hospice agencies. Some are large national groups.

Focus on finding a team that puts your family first.
What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing a hospice is a big decision for any family. Do not be afraid to ask hard questions. First, ask how quickly they can arrive for a crisis visit in the middle of the night. You need to know they are truly available 24/7. Second, ask what their plan is for pain management. They should have a clear way to track and treat symptoms. Third, ask how often a nurse will visit your home. You want a schedule that meets your needs, not just theirs. And finally, ask how they support family caregivers. It is tough work to care for a loved one. You need a team that supports you just as much as they support the patient. Write these down before you call.
