Choosing your hospice provider is one of the most important decisions you or your loved one is going to need to make. Who you choose will play a large role in how you or your loved one lives out the remainder of their days. Choosing a hospice like iServe Healthcare ensures a life of compassion and dignity.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Hospice

Because hospice is not a one-size-fits-all type of care, it is a good idea to choose a hospice provider like iServe Healthcare that meets your unique goals and values. We understand that every patient is unique and will have their own specific needs that will be factored in when creating a tailored care plan. Other things you should consider when making your choice include:

• Basic services
  Check out what basic services a hospice provider offers. This will usually include:
  • Routine home care
  • Continuous home care
  • General inpatient care
  • Respite care
    
    You should also check out the care team’s rapid response and availability. For example, at iServe Healthcare, our nursing services are available 24/7.
• Emotional and spiritual support
  Physical care is only one part of hospice care, the emotional and spiritual well-being of a patient is incredibly important. Choose a hospice provider that offers spiritual and emotional support with chaplain services and bereavement specialists.
• Family support
  A good hospice will provide ongoing support not only for patients but also for their families to help them cope during this overwhelming period. This support can be given while their loved one is in hospice and even after their passing.
  
  Family support can include services like:
  • Emotional support from bereavement specialists
  • Social support from social workers
  • Educational support
  • Connecting with families with appropriate resources, like support groups
    
• Questions to Ask When Making Your Choice: When interviewing prospective hospices, it is recommended to have a list of questions to ask, like:
  • What services do you provide?
  • What is covered by hospice, and what out-of-pocket expenses can I expect?
  • What kind of support do you offer families?
  • Are you available 24/7?
