What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Talking to a hospice provider can feel intimidating, but you should never hesitate to ask clear questions. Here are a few things to keep in mind. First, ask how quickly they can get a nurse to your house in an emergency. This is vital for your peace of mind. Second, ask how they handle pain management for specific conditions. You need to know their plan is solid. Third, ask what kind of support they offer to the family after the patient passes away. Grief support is a huge part of what a good hospice does.
