What is hospice?
Hospice is a program of care and support that you may want to consider if you or someone you care for is terminally ill. (Terminally-ill means that an individual has been determined by a physician to have six months or less to live if the disease process follows its normal course). Here are some important facts about hospice:
  • Hospice provides comfort and support to both patient and family. It helps patients live out the time they have remaining to the fullest extent possible.
  • Hospice is provided by a specially train team that cares for the "whole person," including his or her physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
  • Hospice provides support to family members.
  • Hospice is generally given in the home. CHP Hospice has specific inpatient hospice facilities when care is no longer manageable at home.
  • Hospice services may include drugs, physical care, counseling, equipment and supplies for the terminal illness and related conditions.
  • Hospice is NOT only for people with cancer
  • Hospice does NOT shorten or prolong life.
  • Hospice focuses on comfort, not on curing an illness.
 
How hospice works
Your doctor and the hospice medical team will work with you and your family to set up a plan of care that meets your needs. You will have a specially trained medical team and support staff available to help you and your family with your illness.
 
The Hospice Team:
  • Your personal, primary doctor (CHP Hospice physicians can serve as a primary physician for patients that do not have one).
  • Hospice aides
  • Social workers
  • Hospice musician
  • Massage therapist
  • Your minister, pastor, priest, clergy or spiritual advisor (CHP Hospice chaplains are also available to minister to spiritual needs as requested).
  • Hospice-trained volunteers
You and your family members are the most important part of the team. Hospice staff are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give you and your family support and care when you need it.
 
How is hospice paid for?
Hospice is paid for through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid Hospice Benefit, and most private insurers.
Most care, supplies, durable medical equipment such as hospital beds, oxygen, and medications related to the terminal diagnosis are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance providers.
   
 
As a nonprofit agency, CHP Hospice works with all patients and families, regardless of financial situation. We depend on the generous donations of individuals, groups, organizations and businesses to help provide hospice care to all who are in need. To make a donation click, here.
