What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel empowered to ask tough questions when meeting with a hospice agency. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. It is also wise to ask how the team manages difficult pain symptoms when they arise. Ask what specific tasks their volunteers can do to help your family during the week. You might also want to know how the staff will keep you informed about changes in your loved one's health. Clear communication is the key to a good relationship with your care team. Finally, ask what happens if your needs change or if you decide you want to stop hospice care. A good provider will answer these questions clearly and with patience. They should never rush you when you are trying to make these important decisions for your loved ones.
