What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You need to feel good about your choice. Start by asking these questions. First, how quickly can a nurse get to my home if there is an emergency? Second, how will you help my family manage difficult symptoms at night? Third, what kind of emotional support do you offer for our children or other family members?
