Hospice Care Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating medication management during hospice care can be complex. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions from families and healthcare providers to help bring you peace of mind.
How quickly can we receive medications for a new hospice admission?
We prioritize new admissions. Once we receive the orders, we aim to have the necessary medications delivered to the facility or home the same day, depending on your location.
What happens if a patient has trouble swallowing pills?
This is a common challenge in palliative care. Our Compounding Lab can transform standard medications into alternative forms, such as:
- Concentrated oral liquids
- Transdermal (topical) gels
- Suppositories
- Sublingual (under the tongue) drops
Are you available for emergencies after hours?
Yes. We provide 24/7/365 clinical support. If a patient experiences a “breakthrough” symptom in the middle of the night, a pharmacist is always on call to consult with the nursing staff and facilitate emergency medication access.
What is included in a "Comfort Kit"?
This is a small, sealed package kept at the bedside for immediate use. It typically contains small doses of medications to treat the “symptom six”: pain, anxiety, nausea, respiratory secretions, shortness of breath, and constipation.
Do you coordinate with hospice agencies and insurance?
Absolutely. We work directly with the hospice medical team to ensure all prescriptions align with the Hospice Plan of Care. We also handle the direct billing to the hospice insurer or Medicare/Medicaid, minimizing the administrative burden on the family or staff.
Can you provide medical supplies along with medications?
Yes, we often bundle medication delivery with necessary supplies such as syringes, pill crushers, and gloves to ensure caregivers have everything they need in one delivery.
