Common Hospice Questions

Below are some answers to commonly asked questions.

  • What is hospice?

    Hospice focuses on providing care primarily in the patient’s home. Its primary aim is to improve the quality of life among patients diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; instead, it puts a high value on patients' comfort, dignity, respect, and wishes.


    Hospice is not a place but a plan of care for patients with incurable medical conditions. An interdisciplinary team made up of physicians, nurses, home health aides, volunteers, social workers, and counselors work closely with patients to create a unique care plan to ensure their quality of life. Hospice care professionals are trained to address issues most critical to the patients’ medical, emotional, social, psychological, and spiritual needs to live their lives entirely without pain until the end of their lives.


    Hospice care includes the services:

    • Nurse and home health aide visits
    • Medical equipment and supplies
    • Medication for pain and symptom management
    • Respite care for patients at home, hospital, or nursing home
    • Crisis management for severe symptoms
    • Grief programs and follow-ups for bereaved loved ones
    • Assisted living visits
    • Crisis care
  • Who qualifies for hospice?

    Hospice patients and families receive care for an unlimited amount of time, depending on the course of illness. Holding Hands Hospice does not set a fixed limit on care duration that a patient may continue to receive hospice services in Dallas. In most cases, patients under hospice care are given a six-month prognosis or less. In essence, a patient who agrees to receive our hospice care in Dallas primarily to enhance comfort rather than curative interventions.


    However, our hospice care in Dallas doesn’t end after six months. Some patients may live well beyond their prognosis, which means a plan of care may continue if the attending physician certifies a patient's eligibility, and the patient wishes to continue receiving hospice care service and not curative treatments.

  • Is hospice care just for elderly?

    No. Our hospice care in Dallas is provided to anyone with a life-limiting condition, regardless of age.

  • Is it true that if patients agree to obtain hospice care in Dallas, they must stay under hospice care until their death?

Patients under our hospice care program in Dallas willingly agree to receive care and comfort support. If a patient’s illness improves or if a patient decides to seek curative treatment, he or she may leave our care at any time. Consequently, patients may also return to receive hospice care treatment whenever they wish to.

A person with a prognosis of six months or less will receive full Medicaid benefits if they wish to participate in the Texas Medicaid Hospice Program. Under this program, patients electing hospice care agree to waive their rights to other Medicaid services that include treatments to cure their terminal illness.

  • Does insurance cover hospice?

    Hospice, including all costs associated with medications, therapies, and care support, are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most individual insurance providers as part of hospice benefits. Medicare for


    individuals age 65 years or older receive hospice benefits. A person with a prognosis of six months or less will receive full Medicaid benefits if they wish to participate in the Texas Medicaid Hospice Program.

Consequently, patients may still receive other forms of treatment that are not related to their terminal medical condition.
