What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Selecting the right hospice provider is an important step for your family. You should feel comfortable asking many questions before you sign any paperwork. Here are some key things to ask the provider during your first meeting:

  • How quickly can a nurse arrive if there is an emergency at night?
  • How will you help manage my loved one's pain and other symptoms?
  • What specific training does your staff have for this type of care?
  • How do you support family members who are grieving or stressed?
  • Can you tell me how you coordinate care with our current doctor?

Asking these questions helps you understand how the hospice team works. Good providers will be happy to answer everything clearly. They want you to feel supported and informed every step of the way. Trust your instincts when you talk with their staff members.
