Users need better guidance on selecting hospice services, especially regarding the reputation and reliability of different providers, to ensure quality care for their loved ones.
I’m learning so much as I navigate caring for an elderly parent. Assisted living is great if you have a parent who needs help with medications, fixing meals, driving, etc and they can be active in group activities. Today I put my dad on hospice. I got three evaluations. Two were recommended by the assisted living and one by a professional caregiver I know who has done hospice. Well…it turns out the assisted livings get a kick back from some hospice companies. What you want to look for is a large company. Small companies don’t have the staff to cover personnel that call out sick etc. I also know I need to get my dad to a board and care where they only have 6 patients. The hospice companies I went with have been incredibly helpful. Large co associated with a hospital group. Passing this on because I got my eyes opened as I learned.
