What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel empowered when you interview a hospice team. Here are a few simple questions to get you started. First, ask how quickly they can respond if there is a sudden crisis at night. You need to know that help is just a phone call away. Second, ask how they involve the family in making daily decisions. It is your family, so your voice must matter. Third, ask what specific support they offer for grief and loss after someone passes. Some agencies provide long-term counseling, while others focus on shorter-term help. And finally, ask if they have experience with your loved one’s specific health condition. Every illness is different. Getting clear answers to these questions will help you feel more confident in your choice. Take your time. Do not rush this important decision.
