Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice care enhances the quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families through personalized support, including pain management and psychosocial care, either at home or in a hospice facility. Palliative care is specialized medical, nursing, social, and spiritual care that reduces the symptoms, pain, and stress of people living with a chronic or advanced illness. These services are appropriate for patients of any age, at any stage of an illness and can be provided at the same time as curative treatment.
What are the admission requirements for the Hospice House?
All patients currently enrolled in Care of the Piedmont programs are eligible for admission based on need. Patients from area hospitals are eligible for care based upon meeting the program admission guidelines. Admission to Hospice House is made without regard to age, gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, diagnosis or ability to pay for service. The Hospice House accepts terminally ill patients who require short-term care for symptom management, skilled care beyond what a loved one can provide, respite care, or teaching and assistance for transition to home or nursing home.
How does Care of the Piedmont ensure quality of care?
Care of the Piedmont ensures quality of care through a Five-Star Hospice House Ranking from Medicare.gov, Hospice Honors Elite status from Healthcare First, accreditation by the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization, and participation in the We Honor Veterans program.
How much do your services cost?
Care is provided for all medically qualified patients and is covered by Medicaid, private insurance, and donations. No one is turned away because of inability to pay for services. Care of the Piedmont, a 501(c)(3) organization, relies on the generosity of its supporters and fundraising events to ensure all receive care regardless of their ability to pay.
Who can refer a patient to Care of the Piedmont?
Anyone can refer a Hospice patient to Care of the Piedmont. Simply fill out their referral form, and a staff member will follow up shortly. For Palliative Care referrals, practitioners can fax patient demographics and recent records or utilize the web referral system through Epic.
