Description
In the latest survey (2016), almost 42% of hospice patients were receiving hospice care in a long-term care facility. In today’s episode you can learn how the hospice agency and the long term care facility coordinate care for a hospice patient. 98% of hospice patients receive hospice care while living at home, but “home” can be defined in many ways: a private residence, an assisted living facility, a group home, a nursing home, a private care home, or foster home. Many people receiving hospice care live in a long term care facility such as a nursing home, or assisted living facility. The hospice agency staff and the long term care facility staff work together to provide care for the hospice patient. To learn more please visit our website.
