What is hospice care?

Hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life for patients with a life-limiting illness, often provided at home with a multidisciplinary team.

What happens if I can’t be cared for at home?

A growing number of hospice programs have their own hospice facility or have arrangements with nursing homes, hospitals or inpatient residential centers that care for people who cannot be cared for at home. However, the cost to live in these settings may not be fully covered by your insurance, so it is best to find out if insurance covers this type of care before you call hospice.

Every person receiving hospice has access to a registered nurse, social worker, hospice aide, and chaplain (also known as the interdisciplinary team) and volunteers. The hospice team will work with you and your family to create a plan of care that will outline the actions and goals for your hospice care. All visits are based on you and your family’s needs in the care plan and your medical condition during the course of the illness. The frequency of volunteers and spiritual care is often dependent upon request and the availability of these services. Travel requirements and other factors may cause some variation in how many individuals each hospice staff serves.

Does hospice provide 24-hour care?

The hospice team visits on an intermittent basis. This team includes physicians, nurses, social workers, hospice aides, chaplains and other specially trained care providers. The frequency of visits is determined by the patient’s needs. A hospice RN is on call 24 hours a day/7 days a week to answer questions and provide support. After hours visits are made as needed.
