What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You should feel empowered to ask tough questions before you pick a provider. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. You should also ask how they manage pain medications. It is wise to ask how often the nurse will visit each week. Ask them how they handle weekends and holidays. You need to know that support is there when the office is closed. Ask if they have experience with your loved one's specific health condition. It is also good to ask how they keep family members updated on changes. Good communication is the key to peace of mind. Do not be afraid to ask these questions to anyone you interview. You are the one who will be working with them every day. Choose the team that listens to you best.
