Eligibility

• Shortness of breath handicap bed bound.
• Have a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness.
• To be eligible, your loved one must first be under a doctor’s care. The patient’s illness and treatment now suggest comfort care as best, for the patient’s final months. The doctor recommends hospice care or the family can bring up hospice and ask if it is now most appropriate. If so, the doctor provides the family with diagnosis and referral papers for hospice service and perhaps suggests a hospice agency to contact. The choice of which hospice is required by Medicare to be the family’s choice, not the doctor’s choice. The family makes the decision for hospice service and which hospice. The family takes control. Continuing with hospice care is the family’s choice.
