What to Expect When Starting Hospice Care Services
A guide to starting hospice care: the admission process, care team, and what families in Los Angeles can expect from Generation Care.
Starting hospice care can feel uncertain, but knowing what to expect helps families feel more prepared and confident.
The Admission Process
A hospice nurse visits the patient to assess needs, review medical history, and explain services. Physicians certify eligibility, and a personalized care plan is created within 24 hours of admission.
Your Care Team
You will have access to hospice physicians, nurses, social workers, home health aides, spiritual counselors, and trained volunteers. A nurse case manager coordinates all services.
Regular Visits and 24/7 Support
Scheduled visits address ongoing needs. Between visits, you can call anytime for clinical guidance, medication adjustments, or emotional support.
Supplies and Equipment
Generation Care arranges medications, medical equipment, and supplies related to the terminal diagnosis. Medicare and most insurance plans cover these items.
