What Are Hospice, Palliative, and Home Care?
Hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and support near end of life. Palliative care supports comfort and quality of life at any stage while treatments continue. Home care (non-hospice) centers on daily living help and companionship so people can remain at home.
All three emphasize respect, compassion, and the right level of support for each family’s situation.
Care Services Typically Include
- Pain and symptom management
- Medication coordination and delivery
- Nursing visits and on-call medical support
- Emotional and spiritual counseling
- Support for family members and caregivers

What to Expect from Hospice Care
If your family is considering hospice for the first time, here is what the process typically looks like:
1. Eligibility and enrollment
A physician certifies that the patient has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its natural course. The patient and family choose to focus on comfort rather than curative treatment. Enrollment can often begin within 24–48 hours of the initial call.
2. The care team comes to you
Hospice is delivered wherever the patient calls home — a private residence, assisted living facility, or nursing home. The care team typically includes a registered nurse, a home health aide, a social worker, a chaplain, and a medical director who coordinates with the patient's physician.
3. Day-to-day support
Nurses visit regularly to manage pain, monitor symptoms, and adjust medications. Aides assist with bathing, grooming, and personal care. Counselors support the patient emotionally and help the family plan and prepare. Medical equipment — hospital bed, wheelchair, oxygen — is delivered to the home.
4. Family involvement and bereavement
Hospice care is designed to support the whole family, not just the patient. Caregivers receive guidance, respite breaks, and emotional support. After the patient passes, bereavement counseling is available to family members for at least 13 months.
Conditions Hospice and Home Care Helps With
Hospice care is available for any terminal illness, not only cancer. Home care and palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious diagnosis. Common conditions our providers support include:
Cancer
All types, including late-stage and metastatic

COPD & Lung Disease

How Much Does Hospice Care Cost?
For most families, hospice care costs very little or nothing out of pocket. Here is why:
- Medicare Part A covers virtually all hospice services for eligible patients — nursing, medications for symptom control, medical equipment, aide support, counseling, and chaplain visits. The only costs are a small copay (up to $5) for prescription drugs and up to 5% for inpatient respite care.
- Medicaid covers hospice in all 50 states for qualifying low-income patients. Patients who are dual-eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) typically have all costs covered.
- Private insurance plans typically follow Medicare's hospice benefit structure, though specifics vary by plan.
- Uninsured patients should ask providers about sliding-scale or charity care options — many hospice agencies are nonprofit and have assistance programs.

More Questions About Hospice Care
How long can you be on hospice care?
Medicare certifies hospice in benefit periods: two initial 90-day periods, then unlimited 60-day periods as long as the patient continues to meet eligibility criteria. There is no maximum time limit. If a patient improves and no longer meets the six-month prognosis, they can be discharged from hospice and re-enroll later if the illness progresses again.
Can you leave hospice care?
Yes. Hospice enrollment is voluntary and can be ended at any time for any reason. If a patient decides to pursue curative treatment again, they can revoke the hospice benefit and return to standard Medicare coverage immediately. They can re-enroll in hospice later if needed.
What is a hospice benefit period?
A hospice benefit period is the time frame during which Medicare certifies hospice eligibility. The first two periods are 90 days each. After that, the patient's physician recertifies eligibility every 60 days. At each recertification, a hospice medical director confirms the patient still meets the terminal prognosis criteria.
What is the difference between hospice and home care?
Hospice care is a comprehensive medical benefit for terminally ill patients focused on comfort, managed by a full care team including nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains. Home care (non-hospice) provides assistance with daily living — bathing, meals, companionship, light tasks — for people who need support at home but are not necessarily near end of life. Both can often be found through BestHospice.com.
