Hospice Myths Vs Facts:
1. Myth: “Hospice care is expensive.”
-Truth: Hospice is covered 100% by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurances—and under the hospice benefit, you will receive medications, equipment, incontinence supplies, and visits from our team to optimize your comfort.
2. Myth: “If I elect hospice, I will need to leave my home.”
-Truth: Hospice is a philosophy of care, not a ‘place’ you go. We bring care to your home, assisted living, or wherever you reside.
3. Myth: “You have to sign a DNR to be on hospice.”
-Truth: You can choose your code status. Signing a DNR is not a requirement for hospice. We will honor your wishes and help you understand your options.
