What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking the right partner is a big decision for your family. Start by asking how often a nurse will visit the home. You should also ask how the team handles pain management after normal business hours. If you need help at night, who do you call? It is also wise to ask about the specific role of volunteers. Do they provide companionship or help with errands? Finally, ask how the team communicates updates to the family doctor. Clear communication prevents confusion during a stressful time.
