Helpful answers to support your journey with clarity and peace of mind.
At Hospice of the Faithful, we understand that seeking hospice or palliative care can raise important questions. Below, you’ll find clear, concise answers to our most common inquiries. If you need further assistance, our team is here to help.
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice care is for individuals with a life-limiting illness who are no longer seeking curative treatment, while palliative care focuses on improving comfort and quality of life at any stage of a serious illness, even alongside active treatment.
What services do you provide?
We offer hospice care, palliative care, pain management, nursing support, social services, spiritual counseling, bereavement care, and in-home care. For a full list, visit our Services Page.
Where is care provided?
Our team delivers care wherever you feel most comfortable—at home, in an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.
Do you provide care 24/7?
Yes, our nursing staff is available 24/7 to respond to urgent needs, provide support, or adjust care plans.
Is hospice care covered by insurance?
Yes. Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans cover hospice services, including medications, medical equipment, and visits from our care team.
Will I have out-of-pocket costs?
In most cases, there is little to no cost for hospice services. If there are any associated costs, we’ll discuss them clearly and help you navigate coverage options.
What do I need to prepare for an initial visit?
We’ll walk you through each step, but typically we ask for medical records, insurance details, and emergency contacts.
Do you offer emotional or spiritual support for families?
Yes. We provide counseling, grief support, and spiritual care tailored to each family’s beliefs and needs, before and after a loved one’s passing.
What kind of bereavement support do you offer?
Our bereavement program includes one-on-one grief counseling, support groups, follow-up calls, and educational resources for up to 13 months following a loss.
Can I still be involved in my loved one’s care?
Absolutely. We encourage family involvement and provide guidance so you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout the care process.
