What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing a hospice provider is a serious decision. You want to feel sure about who will be in your home. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your house if there is an emergency. Ask how they communicate changes in a patient's condition to the family. It is also good to ask about their specific experience with the diagnosis your loved one has. Find out which hospitals or facilities they work with if a patient needs a higher level of care. Ask if they have staff available on weekends or holidays. You need to know how they handle pain medication orders as well. These questions help you see if their style of care matches your family's needs. Take your time to talk with them before you decide.
