Here Are The Top Questions That Keep Our Phones Ringing.
Choosing a hospice company is a critical decision that impacts the quality of care and support a patient, and their family will receive during a very sensitive time. Here are some common mistakes people can make when selecting a hospice company:
Not Researching Enough: One of the biggest mistakes is not spending enough time researching and comparing hospice companies. It’s important to investigate the services offered, the company’s reputation, and reviews from other families who have used their services.
Overlooking Staff Qualifications and Training: The qualifications, training, and compassion of the hospice care team are crucial for providing quality care. Failing to inquire about the credentials of the staff and the company’s hiring practices can lead to substandard care.
Not Understanding the Services Offered: Hospice care encompasses a wide range of services, including medical care, pain management, emotional support, and help with daily activities. Not fully understanding the scope of services offered by the hospice can lead to unmet needs and dissatisfaction.
Failing to Ask About Availability: The availability of hospice staff 24/7 is essential. Failing to ask about how the hospice manages after-hours emergencies or the availability of staff for home visits can leave families unsupported during critical times.
Not Discussing Costs and Insurance Coverage: Financial aspects are crucial. Not clarifying the costs covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid and the services that might require out-of-pocket expenses can lead to unexpected financial burdens.
Not Involving the Patient in the Decision-Making Process: If the patient is able to participate in the decision, not including them can be a mistake. It’s important for the patient’s wishes and comfort to be at the forefront of any decisions about their care.
Not Planning Ahead: Waiting until the last moment to choose a hospice can limit options and lead to rushed decisions. It’s advisable to consider hospice care options early in the patient’s diagnosis to ensure a thoughtful and informed choice.
Making an informed decision involves taking the time to research, asking the right questions, and considering the needs and wishes of the patient.
Many Hospice companies are owned by huge corporations, where corporate bean counters have way too much say in how patient care should be provided, and the bottom-line profit is king.

You’re not just a number to us, you’re an important part of our day-to-day lives.
