For more than 30 years, Henry Ford Hospice has provided care for our patients and their family/caregiver unit at end of life with a focus on quality and helping patients live every day the best way possible. Our team of expert physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, registered dieticians and bereavement specialists work together to provide professional, comprehensive, compassionate, patient centered care.
Hospice provides pain management, symptom control, and comfort care focused on improved quality of life when a person no longer benefits from a curative treatment plan. Your nurse and doctor are available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide support, education, and assess for immediate needs and provide intervention to address those needs.
Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance companies. Coverage typically includes, your hospice clinical team, supplies, equipment, medications for symptom control and pain relief related to your hospice diagnosis. The main expense not covered by insurance would be room and board if you live in a nursing home or residential facility. In addition, Medicaid eligible patients and some with hospice coverage by your private health insurance may receive additional benefits, such as reimbursement or coverage for room and board.
Your physician can help you decide if Hospice is right for you. Henry Ford Hospice encourages your family physician to continue managing your care once you are admitted to hospice. The hospice team and hospice medical director will work with your doctor to create a plan of care driven by your needs and wishes and those of your family and loved ones. A patient can sign out of hospice anytime for any reason. In addition, we transition patients from hospice care if they exhibit a marked improvement in their condition.
The hospice team will explain the process and coordinate follow up care with your physician.
