Hospice care is provided to individuals who are terminally ill in their homes or in a care setting, generally with an expected survival of six months or less. Hospice is a benefit of Medicare, most state Medicaid programs and many private health insurance plans. Members of hospice teams have special training in end-of-life care and can provide oversight of medical care, counseling services, medical equipment and supplies, planning for end-of-life needs and bereavement support.
Finding excellent, compassionate hospice care is the most important action you’ll take in making sure your loved one is as comfortable as possible in their final months. If you want to research this on your own, The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, working with the National Hospice Foundation, offers information on end-of-life planning and care, pain management, advance directives, care giving, grief, financial planning and choosing a hospice facility. If you want a guiding hand, please submit our brief form and one of our experienced staff will contact you promptly by phone or email to walk you through all of your options.
