Hospice provides benefits for people at end of life care.The money that pays for it is provided through the government, which comes from our tax dollars. When somebody is on hospice, the services are provided to them at no cost to them. That company that is providing them the hospice provider, they'll bill insurance and the government to get reimbursed.

We're all getting closer to the end of life every day. But somebody who is really truly closer to end of life now could be on hospice for years. Hospice provides all of the care, equipment, supplies, care, nursing visits and so on. They may need 24 hour care, maybe even a few visits a day or per week. Some people come in on hospice and they're with us for months and years.

Assisted Living works hand in hand with hospice providers. They give us referrals and we give them referrals. One of the things I truly appreciate about hospice is their heart's in the right place. They really want that resident, who needs to help, to get the care that they need.

Hospice is a wonderful service that we do fully utilize in Residential Assisted Living. Someday you or your family member may need exactly that. Don't hesitate to call them.
