They often have chaplains and volunteers on staff too. The goal is to keep the patient as comfortable as possible. They focus on pain relief and emotional support for everyone involved.

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Choosing the right team can feel overwhelming. Start by asking how quickly they can respond to an urgent call in the middle of the night. You should also ask how they manage pain and other symptoms. It is vital to know if they offer help for family caregivers who might be tired. Lastly, ask how their team will communicate with your family doctor. Here are a few questions to get you started:
- How soon can a nurse get to my home if we have an emergency?
- How do you help family members cope with grief?
- What is the process for adjusting medication if my loved one is in pain?
- How often will a nurse visit our home?
