The Referral Process

Simple and Supportive

Referring a patient to All Compassionate Care Hospice is straightforward. Our process includes:

01

Eligibility Assessment

We review clinical criteria and patient/family wishes.

02

Prompt Admission

Same-day admissions are available—even on weekends.

03

Care Coordination

We work closely with you and your patient’s loved ones to create a personalized care plan.

04

Guidance for Difficult Conversations

Our team can assist you in discussing hospice options with patients and families, helping to address concerns about comfort care and quality of life.

Insurance and Coverage

Hospice care is typically covered by Medicare Part A, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. This coverage includes medical care, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, supplies, and equipment, so families face minimal financial burden during this time.

Addressing Common Patient and Family Concerns

We know that patients and families may worry that choosing hospice means “giving up.” Our team helps clarify that hospice is about maximizing comfort, dignity, and quality of life—while still providing expert symptom management and emotional support. We emphasize that hospice care can be delivered wherever the patient calls home, allowing them to spend meaningful time surrounded by loved ones.

Emotional and Spiritual Support

Physical comfort is only part of the hospice journey. We provide:

  • Emotional support for patients and families to minimize stress and prevent caregiver burnout
  • Spiritual care tailored to each patient’s beliefs and values
  • Social work assistance for navigating paperwork and practical arrangements
  • Bereavement counseling for families after loss

For caregivers who need a break, our respite care program offers temporary relief, allowing you to rest and recharge while your loved one continues to receive attentive care.

What Happens After a Referral?

Once you refer a patient, our team can begin the admission process within hours—often the same day. We coordinate with you and the family to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing communication. During the final days, our nurses and social workers provide increased support and are present to help families with arrangements and comfort.
