For families navigating one of life's hardest seasons.

For most families: no. The Medicare hospice benefit covers everything related to the terminal diagnosis at 100% — visits, equipment, medications, supplies, and 24/7 nurse access. Most private and Medicare Advantage plans follow the same model. We verify your specific benefits before any care begins, so there are no surprises.

No. Hospice is choosing where the next chapter happens — not stopping the story. It means shifting the goal of care from cure to comfort, often after curative treatment has stopped working. Many families describe the weeks or months in hospice as more meaningful than what came before, because the focus changes from procedures to people.

Often the same day. We aim for an evaluation visit within 4–8 hours of your first call, equipment delivery within 24 hours, and the first scheduled care visit within 24–36 hours. Same-day admissions are routine for us. There's no waitlist.

You can leave hospice at any time, for any reason — and you can return later if it makes sense. Hospice is not a binding contract. Some families pause hospice when their loved one stabilizes and resume later. Some leave to try a new treatment and come back. Decisions stay with your family, always.

Most of our patients stay exactly where they are — at home, in their assisted-living suite, or in their nursing facility room. Hospice travels to them. The team comes to you. The only time a move happens is when the family chooses an inpatient hospice setting for short-term symptom control or respite, and even those are usually temporary.
