What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You have a choice when picking a hospice team. Ask these questions to see if the provider is a good fit. First, ask how quickly they can get a nurse to your home in an emergency. You also need to know how they handle pain medicine after hours. It is helpful to ask how often their team members will visit your loved one during the week. Finally, ask what happens if your needs change and you need more intense care. Does the provider have a contract with a local hospital for inpatient stays? These answers help you understand what to expect. Write down the responses so you can compare your options later. Do not feel rushed to pick the first one you find.
