Who is eligible for the hospice medicare benefit?
When a patient with a life-limiting illness or condition decides that curative measures are no longer appropriate, effective or desirable, hospice care becomes a compassionate, dignified and beneficial option for end-of-life care.
When possible, the patient receives care in his or her own home. Family and friends function as the patient’s primary caregivers. In association with the patient’s primary physician and our Medical Director, Premier Hospice provides a specially trained, highly skilled and very experienced team of health care professionals to assist the patient, caregivers and family. Each of our team members visits our patients on a regular basis and guides them, their caregivers and families through the process of the terminal illness or condition.
Our hospice care services are available on a 24/7/365 basis. We stand side-by-side with our patients and their families during their entire stay under our hospice care.
