What to Look For

Key factors when choosing a hospice provider in Puerto Rico

1

Care Team Composition

A complete hospice team includes physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains, and bereavement counselors. Ask about staff experience and patient-to-nurse ratios.

2

24/7 Availability

Good hospice providers offer round-the-clock on-call support with rapid response for symptom crises. Ask how quickly a nurse can arrive during an emergency.

3

Family Support

Look for comprehensive services including caregiver training, respite care, emotional counseling, and bereavement support for at least 13 months — a Medicare requirement.

4

Care Settings

Confirm the hospice provides care wherever needed — home, nursing facility, assisted living, or their own inpatient unit. Needs may change, so flexibility matters.

5

Specialized Experience

Some hospices specialize in cancer, dementia, ALS, or pediatric care. Disease-specific expertise leads to better symptom management and more targeted family education.
