Hospice care is a particularly helpful choice for residents who have an advanced illness or nearing the end of life and requires a higher level of care while residing in the comfort of their own home.
Treatments are not focused on curing the life limiting illness, rather, managing the symptoms with medications, therapies, and medical equipment.
Who treats the patient?
Hospice care provides patients with a team of specialists dedicated to making the life of the patient as comfortable as possible. These include hospice nurse, social worker, personal care aid, medical director, pastoral advisor, and bereavement coordinator.
There is always a schedule for the hospice specialists, however, they are available after hours for assistance and advice.
The goal is to ensure the patients, family, and caregivers are supported and cared for.
Who pays for hospice care?
Hospice care is covered by most commercial insurance plans, and all Medicare plans. Though it can be difficult to initiate discussion,
it is important to be open to talking about hospice care with family to ensure you get the information and guidance you need when it is time. You can also set up a no cost consultation with a hospice liaison for an explanation of benefits.
