Frequently Asked Questions about Home Hospice Care
Proactive Hospice provides compassionate home hospice care for families in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. Here are some of the most common questions we receive to help you understand what hospice is and how it can help.
What is hospice care?
Hospice care is a specialized form of medical care for individuals facing a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less. It focuses on providing comfort, dignity, and a better quality of life by managing pain and other symptoms, rather than seeking a cure. Our goal is to support the patient and their family emotionally, spiritually, and physically, allowing them to live their final days with peace in the comfort of their own home.
Who is eligible for hospice services?
To be eligible for hospice care, a patient must have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a physician. The patient must also be willing to stop curative treatments for the terminal illness and instead focus on comfort-based care.
What is the cost of hospice care?
Is it covered by insurance? For most patients, hospice care is fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. These benefits typically cover the entire cost of the hospice team’s visits, necessary medical equipment (like a hospital bed or oxygen), and medications related to the terminal illness. Proactive Hospice will work directly with your insurance provider to verify coverage and handle all billing.
Where can hospice care be provided?
Hospice care can be provided wherever the patient calls home. This includes a private residence, a relative’s home, a nursing home, or an assisted living facility. Our team comes to you, allowing the patient to remain in a familiar and comforting environment surrounded by loved ones.
Does hospice mean giving up hope?
Absolutely not. While hospice focuses on comfort rather than a cure, it redefines what hope means. We help patients and families find hope for comfort, peace, and dignity. Our compassionate care allows patients to live their final days to the fullest, creating a peaceful and meaningful end-of-life journey.
How do I start hospice services with Proactive Hospice?
Getting started is simple. You can call us directly, and our team will guide you through the process. We will work with the patient’s physician to get a medical order for hospice care. Once eligibility is confirmed, we will schedule an initial visit to create a personalized care plan and begin services promptly.
What kind of care and services does the hospice team provide?
Our comprehensive hospice team provides a wide range of services, including:
- Pain and symptom management by a hospice nurse.
- Personal care assistance from a hospice aide.
- Emotional and spiritual support from a social worker and chaplain.
- Medical equipment and supplies delivered to the home.
- Bereavement support for families that continues for up to 13 months.
- 24/7 on-call support for guidance and emergencies.
How long can a patient receive hospice care?
A patient can receive hospice care for as long as a physician certifies that they have a life expectancy of six months or less. If a patient lives longer than six months, a physician can re-certify them to continue receiving care, as long as they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
