Hospice Expectations
|
|
The patient and family are at the center of the hospice team. You are the experts on what you want and need; the team looks to you to share this information, so they know how best to care for you.
Once the patient and their family have agreed that hospice care is the right choice, ELITE HOSPICE will contact the patient’s physician for any additional medical history or paperwork. Upon confirmation of the patient’s prognosis from their physician, the patient (or their legal representative) must consent to receive palliative end-of-life care and cease curative treatment. Within a matter of hours, an eligible patient can be transferred from a hospital, emergency department or care facility to begin hospice care at home, wherever home is. From start to finish, the patient and their family are at the center of the hospice team. They’re part of the patient’s care throughout the admissions process and over the course of hospice service, helping shape the care plan. |
