What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Picking a hospice team is a big decision. Start by asking how quickly a nurse can come to the home if a problem happens at night. You should also ask how they handle pain management and if a doctor will visit the patient in person. It is good to know how they support family caregivers who are tired or stressed. Ask if they provide help with daily chores or if they offer counseling for family members. Some agencies have volunteers who can sit with the patient to give the family a break. Ask them to explain how their team communicates with your own primary doctor. You deserve clear answers about how they track changes in the health of the patient. Keep a list of your questions written down. It helps you stay focused during your meeting with the hospice staff.
