HOW TO BEGIN HOSPICE CARE: 4 SIMPLE STEPS

1

Referral or Call

Hospice usually begins with a referral from your loved one’s physician — but it doesn’t have to. You can call us directly to ask questions or begin the process. Anyone can refer.

2

Free Care Consultation

We’ll connect with you to understand your loved one’s condition and care goals. This consultation can happen in person, on the phone, or virtually — whatever is most comfortable for you.

3

Hospice Assessment

A member of our team will visit your loved one to learn more about their needs, explain what hospice care includes, and answer any questions your family has. We’ll make sure you feel fully informed and supported.

4

Admission to Care

Our hospice physicians will review your loved one’s medical records to determine eligibility. If they qualify, we’re able to begin the admission process right away — ensuring a gentle, smooth, and compassionate transition.

More than medical — it’s meaningful

HOSPICE MYTHS & TRUTHS

At Superior Hospice, we often meet families who are unsure about what hospice really means. There are many misconceptions that can cause hesitation, fear, or delay in receiving care that could bring real comfort. Let’s clear a few things up — together.

MYTH #1: Hospice means giving up

TRUTH: Hospice is not about giving up — it’s about choosing to live with comfort and dignity.

When treatment is no longer curative, hospice focuses on what still matters: managing pain, supporting families, and helping patients live each day as fully as possible. It’s about quality of life, not the end of it.

MYTH #2: Hospice is only for the final days

TRUTH: Many people are eligible for hospice care months before the very end.

In fact, the earlier you begin, the more support you receive. Patients who start hospice earlier often experience better comfort, fewer hospital visits, and more meaningful time with loved ones.

MYTH #3: You have to stop all your medications

TRUTH: You decide which medications continue.

Hospice covers medications that manage symptoms, including pain. You can continue medications that support your comfort. Your care team works with you to create a plan that matches your values, preferences, and goals.

MYTH #4: Only doctors can refer you to hospice

TRUTH: Anyone — a caregiver, a nurse, even you — can start the conversation.
While a physician’s certification is needed for eligibility, anyone can make a referral to Superior Hospice. If you’re wondering whether it might be time, reach out. We’ll help assess and guide you through next steps, with no obligation.

MYTH #5: Hospice only happens in a facility

TRUTH: Most hospice care happens right at home.
Whether that’s a private residence, an assisted living apartment, or a nursing home, hospice care meets you where you are — physically and emotionally. We bring the support to you, so your loved one can be surrounded by comfort and familiarity.

MYTH #6: You must be DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) to begin hospice

TRUTH: DNR status is a personal choice — not a requirement.
Our team will provide education and guidance so you can make the decision that’s right for your loved one. We honor your choices without judgment.

MYTH #7: Hospice care ends when the patient passes

TRUTH: Our care continues long after.
We offer bereavement support, grief counseling, and remembrance services for families and loved ones — for up to 13 months after loss. Because the journey doesn’t end with goodbye.

MYTH #8: Hospice is only for elderly people

TRUTH: Hospice is for anyone facing a life-limiting illness, regardless of age.
We care for individuals at all stages of life — and tailor each plan to their medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

If you’ve heard something that makes you hesitate, please ask us about it. The more you understand, the more empowered you’ll feel.
