How we support in-home care with hospice services
Who Pays for Hospice Care at Home?
Depending on your circumstances, you have a few choices for how to pay for hospice care in the comfort of your own home. Medicare, Medicaid, and a large number of private insurance policies usually cover services offered in the convenience of your own home by hospices. Your loved one can get the end-of-life care they need without worrying about how you'll pay for it because these plans usually cover most of the costs.
In addition, several hospices provide sliding-scale pricing to ensure everyone can afford these services, so ask about it.
What’s a typical routine in hospice care?
Most hospice patients receive regular home care when it comes to in-home care. Social workers, chaplains, nurses, and aides are all part of hospice care. They visit patients continuously to offer emotional support and assistance with daily activities. Our hospice care can help terminally ill patients remain in their homes by reducing symptoms, increasing comfort, and improving quality of life.
How long before death is hospice care at home?
If a patient's doctor predicts that their condition will progress gradually over the next six months, then hospice care can start in the comfort of their own home. The specific timeframe, however, could change as the disease develops in each person. Hospice care can be necessary for some patients for several months, while for others, it may be more brief, lasting only a few days or weeks. Hospice care isn't about how long a patient stays in the hospital but rather about improving their comfort and quality of life as their illness progresses toward death.
Individualized Care
We understand how crucial it is for your loved one to feel comfortable with their caregiver. That’s why we take great care in selecting the right match. We carefully review your responses and consider both your loved one’s personality and specific needs.
From there, we choose a team member who can provide a sense of security and comfort. Our caregivers are thoroughly trained and equipped to assist with a wide range of non-medical needs.
