What do Community-Based Hospice Care Agencies do?
Community-based hospice care agencies provide medical care, social support, and other services to terminally ill patients and their families in the comfort of their own homes or a familiar setting, typically under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals and volunteers.
How Community-Based Hospice Care Works
Location: Most community-based hospice care is provided in the patient’s own home, although it can also be offered in other settings, such as assisted living facilities or skilled nursing homes.
Services: The care plan is personalized to the patient’s needs and includes medical support, spiritual care, and support for both the patient and their family.
Care Team: The hospice team typically comprises nurses, social workers, volunteers, and other specialists who collaborate to create a personalized care plan.
Financial Coverage: Hospice care is often covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, most Medicaid plans, and many private insurance plans. Some providers also offer care at reduced rates or for free based on financial need.
How to Find a Community-Based Hospice Agency
Physician Referral: Your physician can also identify when hospice care is appropriate and make a referral.
Online Search: Use platforms like Yelp and Hospice Analytics to find local agencies and read their reviews.
Professional Organizations: The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the National Alliance for Care at Home are good resources for finding hospice and home care agencies.
Local Resources: Contact your local Senior Information and Assistance office for referrals to reputable community-based hospice providers.
