Does hospice provide 24 hour care in the home?
No. The nurse and the Certified Nursing Assistants make visits according to the patient’s needs and the plan of care agreed upon by the hospice, the patient, along with family and caregivers. The hospice team cannot replace the need for a primary caregiver in the home. We support the caregivers in their role but are unable to be with the patient at all times.
