What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

You need to know if a nurse is available to visit your home if an emergency happens. Ask how they help family members cope with the stress of caregiving. It is also good to ask about their experience with your specific health needs. Some agencies specialize in certain conditions while others offer general support.
