What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have choices. Take your time to interview a few different agencies before you pick one. Start by asking about their response time. Ask how they handle pain management at night or on weekends. Here is a good question: "How will you help us keep our loved one at home?" You should also ask about their volunteer services. Do they provide someone to sit with your loved one so you can run errands? And finally, ask how they support the family after the patient passes. Grief support is a huge part of what a good hospice team provides. Pay attention to how they make you feel. Do they listen? Are they kind? Trust your gut. You want a team that feels like an extension of your own family during a very tender time.
