Hospice
8 Key Points that Everyone Should Know
More than 1.2 million people received hospice care throughout our nation last year. Yet for every person that received hospice care, it is estimated that another individual would have benefited from the services of hospice but didn’t get this compassionate care at the end of their lives.
There are eight key messages about hospice care that everyone, healthcare professionals and consumers alike, should understand.
- Hospice is not a place but a special kind of care focusing on relief of pain, symptom control, and spiritual and emotional support. Care goes out to the patient and family caregivers.
- The majority of hospice care takes place in the home, where the person can be surrounded by family and familiar settings. Inpatient services are available if symptoms cannot be properly attended to at home. However, hospice can take place in a variety of settings, including private homes, hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
- Hospice costs are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and by most insurance programs and HMO’s in Mississippi and Louisiana.
- The expenses of all medicines related to the life-limiting illness are covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit and Medicaid Hospice Benefit.
- Hospice is not about “giving up” but instead focuses on quality of life making the wishes of the patient and family caregivers a priority.
- Hospice provides support and caregiving training to family members and loved ones in the home.
- Bereavement support is available to families for 13 months after the death of their loved one.
- The most common statement made by families who chose hospice for their loved one is, “we wish we had known about hospice sooner.”
If a person isn’t facing decisions about care at the end of life for themselves or a family member, it’s likely that a close friend, neighbor or coworker is struggling with these difficult issues.
