What services are provided to keep the patient comfortable?

Keeping the patient comfortable and pain-free is an important part of hospice care. The hospice staff works with the patient’s primary care physician to make sure that the care plan , which includes medication, therapies, and other support services, is designed to keep the patient as comfortable as possible. This plan is reviewed by the entire IDT every two weeks, to assure that the plan of care is providing adequate relief. Hospice services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make sure this happens.

How does hospice care begin?

Typically, hospice care starts as soon as a formal request or a referral is made by the patient’s doctor. This is followed by a hospice RN visit to verify the condition and set a plan of action, usually within a day or two of the referral. However, hospice services may begin sooner if necessary.

Must I be cared for at home?

Hospice services are provided in many settings including nursing facilities or long-term care facilities. The patient will receive visits from hospice nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers in addition to other care and services provided by the nursing facility.

What financial assistance is available for hospice care?

Financial assistance is provided by Medicare and Medicaid as well as by most private insurance providers.
