Put the answers side by side before your family decides.
Medicare recommends asking every hospice about coverage, availability, equipment, symptom support, communication, and caregiver help. Below are Sovereign's answers to five of the questions Medicare recommends asking.
Use the same questions with every hospice you consider. A clear answer should not be hard to get.
What hospice changes
Hospice does not mean less care. It means you stop carrying all of it.
The symptoms. The medications. The equipment. The questions that come up in the middle of the night. Hospice puts a team behind all of it.
A nurse manages pain and symptoms. An aide helps with hands-on care. Equipment and comfort medications come to the home. A social worker and chaplain support the patient and the family. Everyone works from one care plan.
No guessing about the next step

When to make the call
If you keep wondering whether it is time, ask.
You do not need to wait for one obvious moment. Hospice often becomes worth discussing when several changes are happening together.
A call can end with “not yet.” That is still a useful answer.
If several of these sound familiar, talk them through with us.
More trips to the hospital or ER in recent months
Eating less, losing weight, or sleeping more of the day
Pain or breathing that is getting harder to control
Needing more help with bathing, dressing, or moving around
Infections that keep coming back
A doctor suggesting it may be time to focus on comfort
Plain answers
Who qualifies, and what will it cost?
Eligibility is simpler than it sounds
A patient may qualify when a doctor certifies that life expectancy could be six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, and the patient chooses comfort-focused care instead of treatment aimed at a cure.
The diagnosis does not have to be cancer. Sovereign serves people with any qualifying terminal illness, including heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, stroke, and dementia.
- Any qualifying terminal illness
- Care based on the person, not the diagnosis
- Eligibility can be discussed before a decision is made
For most Medicare families, the care costs $0
You pay nothing for Medicare-covered hospice services from a Medicare-approved provider. The care team, equipment, supplies, and medications related to comfort and symptom management are included.
A copay of up to $5 can apply to certain comfort medications. Inpatient respite care may carry 5% coinsurance. Sovereign Hospice has been Medicare-certified since 2019 and accepts Medicaid.
What arrives with hospice
The team comes to the place they already call home.
No move into a hospice facility is required. The plan is built around the patient’s needs and carried out where they live.
Clinical care
Nursing care, physician oversight, and help managing pain and other symptoms.
Hands-on support
Hospice aide services and guidance for the family caregiver.
Equipment and supplies
Items related to the hospice diagnosis and care plan, such as a hospital bed or oxygen when ordered.
Emotional and spiritual support
Social work, counseling, chaplain support, and grief support for the family.
“Home” can mean any of these places

Questions do not have to wait for office hours.
Serious illness still deserves more support.
Palliative care treats the symptoms and stress of a serious illness while other treatment continues. It gives the patient and family an extra layer of medical and emotional support without requiring a hospice prognosis.
Sovereign provides palliative care at no cost to the patient, regardless of insurance. Ask about it on the same call.

Does Medicare cover hospice care?
Yes. Hospice care is 100% Covered by Medicare. You pay nothing for Medicare-covered hospice services from a Medicare-approved provider. A copay of up to $5 can apply to certain comfort medications, and you may pay 5% of the Medicare-approved amount for inpatient respite care. Sovereign Hospice is Medicare-certified and accepts Medicaid as well.
Is choosing hospice giving up?
No. Hospice means choosing more support, not less: comfort, dignity, and time together, with a full care team behind you. The focus shifts from treatment aimed at a cure to managing symptoms and making each day as comfortable as possible.
What if we change our minds?
You can stop hospice at any time, for any reason, including to return to treatment aimed at a cure. Choosing hospice is not a one-way door. Your family stays in control of the decision.
How quickly can care begin?
Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, every day. In urgent situations, care can often begin within 24 hours of your first call.
Does 24-hour home hospice mean a nurse stays in the home around the clock?
Not usually. Routine hospice care includes scheduled visits based on the patient’s care plan, with phone support available day and night. Medicare also provides for continuous home care during brief periods of crisis when it is needed to keep symptoms under control at home.
Is hospice only for a person’s final days?
No. Medicare hospice eligibility is based on a doctor’s certification that life expectancy may be six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Care can continue beyond six months when the patient remains eligible and is recertified.
What does hospice actually provide?
Medicare-covered hospice includes an interdisciplinary care team, nursing care, hospice aide services, medications for pain and symptom management, medical equipment and supplies, counseling, and other services related to the terminal illness and care plan.
Can hospice care be provided in a nursing home or assisted living community?
Yes. Sovereign Hospice provides care in private homes, nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, senior living, independent living, retirement communities, and residential care facilities.
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice is comfort-focused care for eligible patients who are no longer pursuing treatment aimed at a cure. Palliative care manages the symptoms and stress of a serious illness and can be provided while treatment continues. Sovereign Hospice provides palliative care at no cost to the patient, regardless of insurance.
