Who can refer a patient to the hospice program?
Physicians normally refer the patient to hospice when the prognosis or disease outcome appears poor. However, families and caregivers often consult with Serenity Hospice when they observe the need for increased medical care at home. Our staff will be happy to contact the patient’s physician to determine if hospice care is an appropriate option for the patient and their family. Families and loving caregivers are the most ideal advocates for their loved ones. Please do not hesitate to approach the option of hospice care with your physician.
