What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing a hospice is a very personal decision for any family. You should start by asking questions that matter most to you. First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. You want to know there is help available at night or on weekends. Second, ask how they manage pain and other symptoms. You deserve to know the plan for your loved one. Third, ask how they involve the family in the care plan. You should always be part of the big decisions. Fourth, ask about their experience with your specific health condition. Some agencies have more experience with certain illnesses than others. It is okay to be picky. You are looking for a partner in this journey. Take your time to get the right answers. Trust your gut feeling when you talk to their staff on the phone.
