The majority of hospice care takes place in a patient’s home—whether that is a private residence, a nursing home or assisted living facility, a hospital, or wherever the patient calls “home.” Most people receiving hospice care are covered by the Medicare hospice benefit but most private insurance plans and Medicaid also cover hospice services.

When we begin working with a new facility, we spend time learning exactly how the facility would like us to work in their building. We strive to be good guests and partners ensuring everything from our medication management to where we park is in line with your facility’s expectations.
At Caris, we meet monthly with your team to review every patient we are caring for in your facility. We review care plans and collaborate on updating needs.
Upon admission, we ask every patient: “What are the three most important things we need to know about you to provide excellent care?” These answers shape how the team provides care to enhance the patient’s quality of life. Whether a patient prefers a certain snack or wants to be called by a childhood nickname, our team will honor these wishes. In some cases, the most important things are reconnecting with loved ones, experiencing a bucket list item, or maintaining as much independence as possible. Whatever is most important to our patients, is important to our team.
