What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Finding the right hospice team is a personal process. You should start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. Speed matters when a patient is in pain. Ask who is on call during the night and on weekends. You need to know that someone will answer the phone at any hour. Ask how the team will talk to your current family doctor. Good communication prevents mistakes and keeps everyone on the same page. Inquire about the role of the volunteer staff. Find out what specific tasks they can help with during their visits. Ask about how they handle medications. You want to be sure that your supplies will arrive on time. Write these answers down so you can compare your options later. Do not feel rushed to make a final choice right away.
