Where do you look to find reliable reviews/ratings of hospice care organizations? I need help. Googling isn't helping. Is there somewhere you call? I don't trust the social work services at the hospital my mom is at. Thank you.
Even though a hospice isn't a traditional business, you should check with the Better Business Bureau. They can tell you if there have been other complaints about a particular place.
I would go to my search engine and type in the name of your town and state, then hospice care. That should get you to a page with some options. When Jim and I needed help, we talked to the social worker who was handling our case for Homecare.
I'm going to look into this tomorrow ... there are many quality-related organizations that measure and publish report cards on quality of care and service. I want to check out some things from work.
Since DSS investigate abuse complaints against elderly, I would ask to meet with an Adult Protective Services supervisor at a local DSS. Let them know you're hoping to know pertinent questions to ask of a facility & ask whether they could give you any literature so you could do your own research. Really what you're looking for are specific recommendations, I don't know they could give you that but they should point you in the right direction.

I will ask my sister (the nurse) if she knows of anything else more specific.
