What should you ask Choice Health at Home before choosing it?

Ask what the family is expected to do

Hospice supports the family caregiver; it does not replace one. Ask how many aide visits a week are typical and what happens overnight.

Ask how fast they can admit

Ask how soon after the call a nurse can come out, including evenings and weekends, and how quickly medications and equipment arrive.

Ask where inpatient care happens

When symptoms cannot be managed at home, hospice provides short inpatient stays. Ask which facility they use and how far it is from the family.
