How to choose a hospice

When comparing hospice programs, ask about on-call nursing availability, response times, respite care, bereavement support, and how the team coordinates with the patient's physician and family.

Start by comparing CMS Five-Star ratings, which summarize health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. A high overall rating is a useful signal, but read the underlying inspection findings and staffing figures too - they show what is behind the score.

Visit candidates in the United States when possible, ask how care plans are set and reviewed, and confirm costs, coverage, and availability in writing. Staffing consistency and clear family communication matter as much as any published score.
