Hospice care is for a terminally ill person.  Receiving hospice care does not mean you will die soon. You can stay on hospice as long as your condition doesn’t improve. If your condition does improve you can stop receiving hospice care. You always have the option of leaving hospice. Medicare, Medicaid, and major insurance with hospice benefits will cover care related to the hospice diagnosis.  Appling Hospice Care is available and prepared to provide quality hospice services for you and your loved ones.
