What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Choosing a hospice team is a vital step for your loved one. Ask these questions to help you feel confident in your decision:

  • How quickly can a nurse get to my home in an emergency?
  • What specific services does your team offer to help with pain?
  • How do you support family members who are grieving?
  • What is the best way to contact your staff after business hours?

Take notes when you speak with different providers. Trust your gut feeling about how they answer your concerns. The right team should listen carefully to your needs. They should also explain their services in a way that is easy to understand. Do not be afraid to ask for more information if you are confused.
