What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing a hospice provider is a major choice for your family. You should ask questions to see if the agency is a good fit. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. You should also ask how the team will handle pain relief and medicine. It is wise to ask how often the nurse will visit the patient each week. Ask about the support they offer to family members too. You want to know if they provide help for grief or emotional stress. Ask if the physician is available to talk with your own doctor. Keep these answers in a notebook.
