Frequently Asked Questions
How does in-home hospice care differ from other types of care?
In-home hospice care is focused on providing compassionate care to patients with a terminal illness in the comfort of their own home. It includes a team of healthcare professionals who work together to manage symptoms, provide emotional support, and enhance the quality of life for patients.
What services are included in in-home hospice care?
In-home hospice care typically includes a range of services, such as pain management, symptom control, emotional support, spiritual care, counseling, and assistance with activities of daily living. It also includes support for family caregivers and bereavement care after the patient’s passing.
How long does in-home hospice care last?
The duration of in-home hospice care varies depending on the needs of the patient and their family. Hospice care can continue for as long as the patient meets the criteria for hospice eligibility, which means being diagnosed with a terminal illness or life-limiting condition. The amount of time a patient receives hospice care is entirely based on their needs and the will of the patient and their family.
Can I still have my regular doctor while receiving in-home hospice care?
Absolutely! While our team of healthcare professionals provides primary medical care related to the terminal illness, we work collaboratively with the patient’s regular physician to ensure continuity of care. Our team communicates and coordinates with the patient’s existing healthcare providers to ensure that all aspects of the patient’s health are addressed effectively.
Can I change my mind about hospice care once I start it?
Yes, patients have the right to change their mind about hospice care at any time. If a patient’s condition improves or if they decide to pursue curative treatment, they can discontinue hospice care. Likewise, if a patient initially declines hospice care but later decides to opt for it, they can start receiving hospice services. Our team is always ready to work with patients and their families to understand their choices and make the most appropriate decisions for their care.
