When Tonya Bush, RN, talks about pain management in hospice, she's careful to explain something many families don't expect.

"We try to help families understand that it's not always physical pain, it can also be emotional or spiritual," Tonya shares. "We just want to keep the patient as comfortable as possible to allow for more meaningful moments with the family."

At Hospice Care Options, our team manages every kind of pain, so your loved one can truly rest. Read more from Tonya about our approach to pain management: https://hcoga.com/blog/understanding-pain-management-in-hospice-care/

September is Pain Awareness Month, and it's a reminder that uncontrolled pain is not something people in hospice care have to simply accept.

At Hospice Care Options, pain management is one of our most important priorities. Our nurses and physicians work closely with each patient to keep them as comfortable as possible throughout every stage of care.

If you have questions about how hospice addresses pain, we'd love to talk. Call (800) 563-8680 or visit hcoga.com.

One of the first things families ask us is: "Can we afford this?"

The answer almost always surprises them. Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, which means most families pay little to nothing out of pocket.

Our free webinar, "What Is the Cost of Hospice?" walks you through exactly what's covered and how our team handles the paperwork so you don't have to.

There is no right way to grieve.

Some people feel grief as silence. Others feel it as anger. Many feel it as waves that come without warning, months or even years later.

Hospice Care Options provides bereavement support to surviving family members for 13 months following a loved one's passing because we know that loss doesn't end at the funeral.

If you need support, we're here. Visit hcoga.com or call (800) 563-8680.
