Common Hospice Care Questions From Choctaw Families
Hospice care is a holistic approach to care that is provided to patients with life-limiting illnesses. It is focused on prioritizing the person and not the disease.
Hospice focuses on improving quality of life by providing pain control and symptom management. It includes medical care and the patient’s psycho-social, emotional, and spiritual needs.
The best time to call for hospice is when you or a loved one are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Early hospice care means that the patient can receive the best benefit possible.
Hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, and some private insurance carriers. Most patients that elect hospice services incur no out-of-pocket expenses.
Hospice care is provided in your own home. This can mean your house, assisted living community or long-term care facility. We work with you and your family to bring in medical equipment, medications and other resources for care at home.
Yes, you have the option to keep your doctor as part of your care team.
If your health improves you may be discharged and resume normal medical care. You are always eligible to re-elect hospice care in the future if needed.
The most important thing you can do is be there for them. Let them know you love and care for them, and that you still want to be a part of their lives. Be a good listener. Encourage your loved one to talk about what's on their mind. Educate yourself about your loved one’s illness. This will help you anticipate their needs.
Anyone can call a hospice agency to request hospice care for either themselves or for someone else. Some examples would be: family member, friend, clergy member, doctor, nurse, or social worker. After the initial inquiry, a hospice nurse will visit the patient and conduct an assessment to determine if the patient meets eligibility requirements.
When a patient begins hospice care the focus becomes improving quality of life, controlling pain, and managing symptoms of a disease or illness.
