If you have a terminal illness,
hospice is here for you. Hospice
staff will assess your individual
needs and create an individual plan
of care. Hospice staff is on-call 24
hours a day, seven days a week and
focuses on supportive care and pain
relief during the last period of an
individual’s life. Hospice services
are provided in your home, hospice
centers, hospitals, nursing homes,
long-term care facilities or free
standing hospice centers.
Hospice staff:
-
manages the individual’s pain
-
provides medical and personal care
services to the individual
-
educates family members on care
for the individual;
-
assists the individual and his/her
family members with the emotional,
psychosocial and spiritual aspects
of dying
-
provides needed medications,
medical supplies, and equipment
-
arranges for additional services
when needed - including respite
care, speech and physical therapy,
or inpatient care
-
provides grief support to family
and friends.
Medicare pays for hospice care. A
physician needs to certify that the
disease is life threatening and
likely to cause death within 6
months if the disease runs its
normal course. Medicaid pays for
hospice care. Many private insurance
plans, HMOs, and other managed care
organizations will pay for hospice
care. There is no out of pocket
cost. Donations support the cost of
non-funded care.
