Things To Consider When Choosing a Hospice
When choosing a hospice for yourself or your loved one, it’s important to consider all the services offered, including emotional and spiritual support. Choose a hospice where the patient’s wishes and comfort are prioritized in every care decision, like Maxcare Hospice.
Most hospice providers will offer the same basic physical support services, focusing on pain management and patient comfort. This includes medication administration, assistance with daily living activities, and ensuring the patient’s care plan is appropriate.
Remember, emotional pain can be just as painful as physical pain. A good hospice provider will offer care services that provide emotional and spiritual support. The end-of-life period can be full of complex emotions like fear, anger, and sadness. Emotional support services can address and manage these feelings.
Family Support
Choose a hospice provider that also cares for the patient’s loved ones. This can include helping families cope with complex emotions, caring for a dying loved one, and providing healthy grieving habits.
Take your time to compare different hospice provider services and research any reviews that can help you make an informed decision.
Questions To Ask
Be prepared as you interview prospective hospice providers with a list of questions like the following:
- Are you going to provide support 24 hours a day?
- What services do you provide?
- Are you accredited?
- What is covered by hospice?
- What out-of-pocket expenses can I expect?
