Understanding Their Accreditation

An agency does not have to do this to get certified by Medicare. But they choose to do it to show they value quality. The ACHC sends experts to look at how the agency runs its daily business. They check if the agency follows strict rules for patient safety and medical care. This gives families a way to see that the provider cares about meeting high standards.

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.
