What to look for
Which numbers matter most when choosing — in plain language
- The family-caregiver survey rating reflects how well the hospice supported families — a core part of hospice quality.
- Care-team communication ratings show how clearly the team kept families informed.
- Ask about availability: good hospices provide responsive support around the clock, not just scheduled visits.
