What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have choices, so ask the right questions. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home after a call. Speed is everything when pain strikes. Second, ask what their plan is for after-hours support. You need to know who answers the phone at 3 a.m. Third, ask how they involve the family in the care plan. You know your loved one best, right? Their team should listen to your input. Finally, ask about the specific volunteers they offer. Some programs have great companion services that can sit with your loved one. This gives primary caregivers a much-needed break. Write these answers down. Compare them across different providers to see which feels like the best fit. Trust your gut feeling during these talks. A good hospice team will be patient and kind while answering every single one of your concerns.
