  1. What is hospice care?
    Hospice care is specialized care designed to provide comfort and support to individuals facing a terminal illness. The focus is on managing pain and symptoms while also addressing emotional, social, and spiritual needs to enhance quality of life.
  2. Who is eligible for hospice care?
    Eligibility for hospice care is generally determined by a physician. It is intended for individuals who are no longer seeking curative treatments for a terminal illness, with a prognosis of six months or less to live. The decision is based on medical assessments and patient preferences.
  3. What types of services are included in hospice care?
    Hospice care encompasses various services, including pain and symptom management, emotional and psychological support, personal care assistance, and bereavement counseling. Services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team tailored to the needs of each patient and their family.
  4. Where can hospice care be provided?
    Hospice care can be provided in various settings, such as the patient’s home, a hospice facility, or a nursing home. We work with families to determine the most suitable environment based on the patient’s needs and comfort.
  5. How does hospice care differ from palliative care?
    While both hospice and palliative care aim to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, hospice care is specifically designed for those nearing the end of life and not pursuing curative treatments. Palliative care, on the other hand, can be provided alongside curative treatments and at any stage of a serious illness.
  6. How is hospice care funded?
    Hospice care is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. We assist families in understanding and accessing available financial resources to ensure that care is provided without added financial stress.
