Understanding Hospice Care in Bronxville
- Home hospice vs. hospice facilities- The main difference between home hospice and a hospice facility is that one takes place in the home while the other takes place in a skilled nursing or assisted living facility. Through either option, specially trained volunteers and staff can provide companionship and assistance with daily living.
- What hospice is– Hospice care acknowledges death as the final stage of life and works to give those who are affected by a terminal illness comfort and the highest quality of life possible. Jansen offers several types of therapies to help patients feel comfortable and highly trained staff to provide care and assistance.
- How to pay for hospice- One of the main concerns we hear from patient families is how to pay for hospice. Hospice care is covered by most private insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid.
