What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Finding the right fit matters. You should feel comfortable with the people entering your home. Start by asking how they handle emergencies after normal business hours. You need to know that someone will answer the phone at 3 a.m. Ask how they coordinate care with your current doctors. A good team keeps everyone on the same page. You should also ask how many patients each nurse sees in a day. This tells you how much time they can spend with your loved one. Ask if they provide extra support for family caregivers. Some agencies offer volunteers or respite care services. Finally, ask for a clear list of what their services include. You want to avoid any surprises regarding equipment or medication costs. Take your time to get these answers before you sign any forms.
