Safe discharges to hospice, without the scramble

You need a hospice that answers the phone, moves fast, and doesn't bounce patients back. Our admissions team works discharges every week: benefits verified, orders obtained, equipment delivered — often before the patient leaves your building.

A discharge-day timeline that works

  1. Morning: you call or send the referral packet. We verify benefits and contact the family within the hour.
  2. Midday: orders obtained from the certifying physician; DME ordered for delivery to the home.
  3. Afternoon: patient travels home; our RN meets the family there to complete admission and the first comfort assessment.
  4. That night: the family has a 24/7 number and a plan — and your readmission risk just went down.

Families deciding quickly at the bedside often want the basics first — our hospice overview, costs page, and first-48-hours guide are written exactly for that moment.
