Debunking misconceptions about hospice

1. Hospice is not just for the last few days or weeks of life. You should ask your loved one’s doctor whether a curative treatment will work and what impact it will have.

2. Hospice isn’t a “place” — it’s a type of care. Hospice care is typically delivered in the patient’s own home, in Assisted Living or in Skilled Nursing.

3. The patient need not be homebound to receive hospice care — the goal is to remain as independent as possible.

4. Hospice isn’t a financial burden — services are covered by Medicare Part A, Medicaid, and many private insurance providers.

5. Hospice won’t shorten life — it seeks to improve the patient’s quality of life and allow dying to take place naturally and without pain.
