You need to know that help is available when symptoms spike. Second, ask how the team will talk to your current family doctor. Good care requires a team effort between the hospice staff and your personal physician. Third, ask who will be the main person you talk to for daily updates. Knowing your point of contact reduces stress. Finally, ask if they have staff available for visits on weekends. Not every agency has the same schedule for non-emergency support.
