What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider

Choosing a hospice provider is a big decision for any family. You should feel comfortable asking questions to get the right information. Here are a few things to ask during your first meeting:

  • How quickly can a nurse get to my home in an emergency?
  • What kind of support do you provide to family caregivers?
  • How does your team handle pain and other difficult symptoms?
  • Can you tell me about the training your staff members receive?

Take notes during your conversations with different agencies. Think about which team makes you feel heard and understood. Trust your instincts when you talk with the staff. It is important to find a team that will walk beside you. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification on anything you do not understand. You deserve clear answers during this time.
