WHEN IS IT TIME FOR HOSPICE CARE?
It is time for hospice when a patient's focus has shifted from curative measures to making the most of life and spending quality time with family. Hospice care is most beneficial the sooner it is begun. Many people are not referred early enough to take advantage of all that hospice has to offer. Families and patients receive the most benefit from hospice when hospice is in the home for three months or longer.
WHERE IS HOSPICE CARE RECEIVED?
While hospice care is generally provided in-home, we deliver hospice services wherever our patients call home-private homes, apartments, assisted-living communities, and nursing homes.
IS HOSPICE EXPENSIVE?
Hospice care is very affordable. Medicare pays 100% of allowable charges related to the hospice diagnosis, including charges for medications, durable medical equipment, medical supplies, and respite care. Hospice care is also covered by many insurances.
