Hospice care is provided by doctors, nurses (RNs), social workers, chaplains, home health aides, bereavement counselors and volunteers. This group is referred to as an interdisciplinary team, which is headed by a medical director.

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, VA Benefits, Medicaid and many private insurance plans. Hospice is a financial relief to many because services related to the life-limiting illness, such as medication, equipment and supplies, are covered by hospice benefits–with few or no out-of-pocket expenses.

You do. The decision is made together with you, your physician and your loved ones. Once you begin hospice, you can make the decision to stop care at any time if you change your mind or decide to seek treatments to cure a life-limiting illness.

We are taking extraordinary precautions to protect our patients, families and colleagues. Our care teams continue to visit patients because we understand it’s at times like these that you need us most. We also continue to monitor and follow all guidance from the CDC.
