Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what families ask most

Can I receive hospice care if I live in a nursing facility, continuing care community, or assisted living?

Patients living in a nursing facility or long-term care facility can receive specialized visits from hospice nurses, home health aides, spiritual care counselors, social workers, and volunteers. Hospice is a supplement to the care already being provided by the nursing or long-term care facility through a coordinated plan of care. Click here to see our service area.

Do I have to forgo therapy?

In some cases, the hospice benefit will cover limited therapy sessions and you can discuss this with your care team. Typically, the number of therapy sessions will be limited and will be approved only if they contribute to your quality of life and safety in the home.

How long can I stay on hospice?

There is no limit to the number of days a person can receive hospice services as long as they continue clinically to need the kind of care it provides.

What if I get better on hospice care?

We will discharge patients who no longer qualify for the hospice benefit. If your illness progresses, you may return to Transitions HospiceCare anytime, with a physician’s order.
