A general checklist for any hospice, not advice about this one. Medicare also publishes guides on medicare.gov.

Is the hospice certified by Medicare, and does it serve the area where the patient lives (home, nursing home or assisted living)?
How quickly can care start, and how often will a nurse and an aide visit?
Who answers the phone at night and on weekends, and how fast can a nurse come to the home?
How does the team manage pain and other symptoms? Which medicines, equipment and supplies are included?
Does the hospice offer short inpatient stays or respite care to give family caregivers a break? Where?
Can the patient keep their own doctor? Who leads the care plan, and how is the family included?
What support is offered for the family: social worker, chaplain, volunteers, grief support after a death?
Are there staff or interpreters who speak your language?
Are there any costs you would pay? Ask for the answer in writing.
