What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Ask how they communicate with the family about changes in the patient. You want to know if they have experience with the specific health needs of your loved one. Ask about how they handle weekends and holidays. Does a nurse answer the phone when you call at 3 AM? These details matter a lot.
