Hospice care at home vs. in a facility: What Families Should Know is that you have options. Some people picture hospices as just one setting, but they can look a little different depending on what you need and how to figure out what’s the best fit for you and your loved one.
Our moderator, Lauren King, BSW, Coastal Hospice Provider & Community Relations Team Leader, recently sat down with Lauren Blair, LMSW, VDTCT, DACE Coach Director of Business Development, to discuss “What’s the Difference between Hospice Care in a Facility vs Hospice Care at Home?” and help educate the community about the many layers of support hospice provides.
Some key points discussed include:
Hospice care meets patients wherever they are: at home, assisted living community, or a skilled nursing center.
- The hospice team partners with facility staff to enhance care.
- The same philosophy and services apply across settings.
- Families remain an important part of the care team in any setting.
- The goal is consistent, compassionate care regardless of location.
