Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the common questions people have about hospice care? Check out these frequently asked questions about hospice.

Hospice is a philosophy and a concept, not a specific place of care. Hospice care is for any person who has a terminal illness or when curative treatment is no longer effective or a choice.

  • Hospice care focuses on enhancing the quality of life for the patient and loved ones.
  • Hospice care offers palliative and comfort care to patients by using the most current methods of pain and symptom management.
  • Hospice care provides care 24 Hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Hospice care involves a team of professionals and volunteers who address the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and family.

Hospice Care is provided wherever the patient calls home. Most hospice patients receive care at home or at the home of a relative or friend. Hospice care can also be provided in long-term facilities, nursing homes, or hospitals. OHANA Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc. goes above and beyond to provide the best care, comfort, and support to patients and families facing life-limiting illness and loss.

Hospice care is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. Hospices may also accept payments from those who can self-pay without insurance. We may also rely on assistance coming from donations, gifts, grants, and community resources with the help of volunteers.

People with life-limiting terminal illnesses certified by a physician and have decided not to receive any more aggressive/curative treatment but rather comfort-focused and symptoms management approach can receive hospice services, be it referred by a doctor, family, or even the patient itself.

There is a common misconception that choosing hospice means giving up hope. However, choosing hospice care means actively choosing to have a voice and take some control during the final stages of one's life. Hospice care honors one's goals and wishes for end-of-life care. According to studies, individuals with terminal illnesses who receive hospice care can live longer than the ones who don't receive hospice care. If you or a loved one has a terminal illness and you've exhausted all treatment options, hospice care will provide you comfort and support.
