How to Choose Hospice Care

Georgia Gowrie, December 30, 2020

Determining the correct hospice care you or perhaps a family member requires at the end-of-life might seem just like a daunting task to battle during an already difficult time. In a recent blog describing hospice and palliative care, I’ve received many responses from readers who would like to know how to pick a hospice program that’s right for them. Several readers have shared their experiences with me on hospice care; the right, and others bad. I’ve compiled some tips from industry experts to help take the guesswork out of choosing a hospice hospice near me.

One of the first things to remember when beginning your seek out hospice care is to appreciate hospices are first and foremost a small business, and while a well-intended business, they need yours. Nevertheless, it`s very important to ask questions and get answers before committing to anything. Differences between hospices tend to be hard to ascertain because they tend to provide similar services. While memberships in state hospice organizations and The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) may appear impressive, they’re offered to any hospice. What does matter is that a hospice is Medicare certified, as Medicare supplies the baseline requirements for quality care.

To qualify for Medicare certification, hospices must offer 16 separate core and auxiliary services. Core services include bereavement counseling, nutritional services and doctor services. Continuous home care, physical therapy, medication administration and household services are typical samples of auxiliary services. Also important is whether a hospice encourage your insurance. The Hospice Blog offers some great advice and tips that will assist streamline the search process for you. First, find out who owns the hospice agency you’re considering, and what the owner`s background is. Could be the hospice service nonprofit, for profit or government operated? The sort of ownership may influence the services a hospice patient receives. And speak to the administrator when contacting a hospice.

Let’s face it, the administrator has the authority to say yes or no to anything the hospice office assistant or hospice employer has promised you. If you have found a hospice that fits your requirements, ensure it is the house office, rather than a branch. Generally, the nurse who resides at the home office has use of the person in charge. Branch offices will not have employees who make financial or business decisions. Finally, before selecting a hospice, find out where in actuality the on-call nurse lives. If the nurse lives far away from the patient requiring hospice care, the response time will need longer.
