- What specific training does your nursing staff have for pain management?
- How do you support family members who are grieving or feeling stressed?
- Can you tell me how often a nurse will visit my loved one?
Asking these questions helps you understand how they work. You should feel comfortable with the answers you get. Trust your instincts when you speak to their staff. A good hospice provider will be patient and kind with you. They should be happy to explain everything clearly. Take your time to find the right fit for your loved one's needs.
