What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel comfortable with the people who will care for your family. Start by asking how many nurses they have available for after-hours calls. You need to know if you can reach someone at 2:00 am on a Sunday. Ask how they manage pain and if they can adjust meds quickly. It is also good to ask how often a nurse will visit your home. Ask them to explain their plan for when symptoms get worse. You should also ask about their volunteer services. Volunteers can provide companionship or help with small errands. Finally, ask if they have experience with your specific diagnosis. Every patient has different needs. A good provider will answer these questions with patience and clear details.
