What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
You need to feel comfortable with the people who will care for your family. Start by asking how they handle pain management and comfort needs. Do they have a nurse on call for emergencies at night or on the weekend? This is a primary concern for many families. Ask how often the nurse or aide will visit your home each week. You should also find out how they coordinate with your current primary doctor. Ask for clear details about their emergency response plan. If they have volunteers, ask what those people do to help. Clear answers will help you make an informed choice for your loved one. Take your time with these questions. You deserve to have peace of mind.
