Did you know that hospice care has evolved from being a last-days-of-life service to being a holistic approach that can occur in the patient's own home? Gain a wealth of knowledge in this enlightening chat with our special guest, Nikki Inches, LLMSW, and host Attorney Bob Mannor. Nikki is not only a seasoned elder care navigator but also a dedicated social worker at Mannor Law Group.
In this episode, Nikki unravels common misconceptions about hospice care, enlightening on how it's no longer just for the final days, but a supportive measure for those with a terminal diagnosis predicted to be within six months.
We don't just stop at explaining what hospice care is, but we take you on a journey of discovery about diverse aspects of this essential service. From exploring the range of medical equipment, medications, and supplies covered, to identifying intriguing differences between for-profit and non-profit hospices. Additionally, we discuss the various benefits and considerations when choosing hospice care including key questions to ask when evaluating what a particular hospice covers. You'll also hear about the additional benefits available for UAW hourly employees with a level five hospice and how it could potentially help bypass the hoops of Medicaid for seven months. Let's navigate this journey of understanding together and ensure the best possible care for our loved ones. Don’t skip this essential conversation!
