What to ask when you call or visit
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.
