Does Hospice of the Red River Valley provide 24-hour coverage for crisis intervention and medical emergencies?
Yes. HRRV has nurses on call 24 hours a day to address any concerns or emergencies. Medicare has outlined specific criteria which must be met in order for continuous concentrated care to be implemented. Symptoms must be out of control, and often patients are not eligible until the last few days of their lives. Such care includes a hospice concentrated care nurse at the bedside in blocks of time totaling at least eight hours per day. Return to all FAQs.
