Who is eligible for hospice care?

Anyone facing a life-limiting illness with a prognosis of six months or less who is no longer seeking curative treatment qualifies for hospice care.

Who pays for hospice care and supplies?

Medicare and Medicaid cover hospice services, as well as most private insurance plans. We cover 100% of medications, disposable supplies, and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) needed during hospice care.

Where is hospice care provided?

Wherever you call home, whether in a skilled nursing center, assisted living community, or a private home, we answer the call with a personalized plan of care that works for everyone involved.

Why is choosing hospice, choosing hope?

Hospice provides an opportunity for you to live with grace and dignity in the comfort of your own home and to have a voice in how you spend the time you have left with the ones you love.

How does hospice care help the patient’s family?

An important part of the care we offer comes after the patient’s journey ends. We believe bereavement care can ease the impact of death and the journey that follows. Our bereavement services include support programs, educational information and counseling services.

Liberty Hospice is proud to partner with We Honor Veterans, a program through the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs. As a program partner, we are committed to identifying patients with military experience and increasing their access to veteran services. We do this by strengthening our relationship with local Veterans Associations, providing veteran-centric education for staff and volunteers, recruiting volunteers with military backgrounds to serve our veterans and honoring our veterans through formal acknowledgement ceremonies.

Hospice respite care provides short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers so they can rest and recover from the demands of caregiving and avoid caregiver burnout. Respite care services are covered by the Medicare Part A hospice benefit and include:

• Up to five consecutive days of inpatient care at a Medicare-certified nursing facility or hospital, where the hospice interdisciplinary team will continue to visit the patient to provide care as needed
• Counseling and support services for the family

Do I need hospice respite care?

• Are you physically or emotionally exhausted?
• Do you feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of caregiving?
• Are you ill and need time to recover?
• Do you need to attend an important or required life event?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, hospice respite care could help you rest and recharge. Family members who take time for themselves are better hospice caregivers. They suffer less burnout and have more energy to devote to loved ones.
