Hospice of Natchitoches was a wonderful help to us. My mother's passing occurred of Easter weekend and they were there for us when we needed them.

Do you know what questions to ask when evaluating hospice care?

The best indicator of whether or not you should choose one hospice over another is the direct personal reference from someone you know who has had recent experience with the hospice services you are considering.

What is hospice care?
Can I expect regular in-person visits from the hospice chaplain?
Can the hospice program still manage my care or that of my family member if I need to go to the hospital?
Do I have to give up my regular physician if I choose hospice care?
Does the hospice have an on-going program to monitor the quality of care provided to its patients?
Does the hospice program provide a volunteer to visit patients or assist the family with errands?
How experienced are the nurses in providing hospice care?
Is the hospice a locally based program or part of some larger organization?
What help can I expect in relation to resources outside of the hospice program?
What is the hospice program’s general reputation in the community?
Will care under hospice be terminated if my patient or I am still alive after six months?
Will my patient or I be admitted even if we have no payment source?
Will the hospice program force the patient to stop current medications or other treatments?
Will the hospice staff be available if a need arises at night or on the weekend?
