How to choose the right hospice

Reliable information is important when making health care decisions and that includes choosing the right hospice. It’s important to know the facts so you can choose wisely.

WHAT IS HOSPICE?

Hospice supports patients with a prognosis of six months or less and focuses on maximizing quality of life. Palliative (comfort) care manages pain and other illness symptoms and incorporates emotional and spiritual care and family support.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurance. The hospice benefit pays for all comfort care, medications, treatments and durable medical equipment related to the illness.

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A HOSPICE a thousand ways to be 68, 88 or 98. No matter where you are in your journey, we can help — from therapy and brain health education to home health, residential care, and more.

• How long has the hospice been operating?

Look for a hospice with deep roots in the community and a well-documented history of quality. Hospice of the Western Reserve (HWR) has been serving Northern Ohio for 40 years.

• How many members of the hospice team are certified in hospice and palliative care?

Certification is acknowledged as a quality benchmark and should be a key focus. HWR employs the region’s largest number of certified hospice and palliative care professionals.

• Is it a for-profit or a nonprofit?

All hospice providers offer the same core services. However, for-profits are organized to make money and pay dividends to shareholders. Nonprofits are mission-driven, so revenues can be directed back into programs. HWR provides a Moments to Remember program to fulfill patient wishes, art and music therapy and free grief support groups for any adult needing support on their grief journey; no hospice connection is required.

• Where is care provided?

This varies, so it’s important to ask. HWR provides care in private residences, nursing facilities and assisted living communities. It also operates three inpatient care units (hospice houses) with homelike environments for intensive symptom management and the final days.
