A6: Individuals will have different medical, financial, emotional and spiritual needs when dealing with a life-limiting illness. When choosing hospice, it is important to be honest about your family’s own needs and feelings. Then, you may want to ask questions about insurance plans and payment requirements. Ask what expectations the hospice will have from the patient and the patient’s support system. Ask what kind of support and training program the hospice has for caregivers. Also, ask about bereavement support programs.
