Referral

Many people associate hospice with cancer, but hospice is available for anyone with any life-threatening illness and a life expectancy of six months or less.  Other diseases may include, but are not limited to, end-stage heart, lung, liver and kidney diseases; stroke and coma; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), dementia, AIDS and other end-stage neurological diseases.

Hospice care is appropriate for any person who no longer wants to pursue a curative approach to their illness and instead want to focus on pain and symptom management.

The decision to enroll in hospice is made by the patient in consultation with family members and their doctor. Many of our patients are referred by their physician but Hospice of Davidson County accepts referrals from anyone - family, friend, minister, or someone who cares.

Hospice of Davidson County accepts patients regardless of ability of pay.  Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, and most private insurance plans offer a hospice benefit to cover medication for pain relief and symptom management, medical supplies and equipment, specialty therapies, inpatient care, respite care, and continuous care in the home during periods of crisis.
