Hospice Reviews

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.

Here are a couple places to start:

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

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.

Could you try Googling the town, hospice care, then the word Yelp? Maybe you could find Yelp reviews for hospice in your area.

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 just wanted to hug you in this time of difficulty. *hugs very tight*
