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.
