## Services

- **Hospice care** — comprehensive end-of-life care at home or in a facility, including pain and symptom management, nursing, aide services, spiritual care, and bereavement support
- **Pre-hospice / palliative care** — comfort-focused care for patients with serious illness who are not yet hospice-eligible, helping manage symptoms and improve quality of life
- **Family support** — counseling, caregiver education, respite care, and bereavement services for 13 months after a patient's passing
- **24/7 availability** — on-call nurses available around the clock for urgent needs

## Hospice Eligibility

Hospice care is appropriate when:
- A patient has a life-limiting illness with a prognosis of 6 months or less (if the illness runs its expected course)
- The patient and family choose comfort-focused care over curative treatment
- A physician certifies hospice eligibility

**Important:** Hospice does NOT mean giving up. Patients can continue many treatments and can revoke hospice at any time to pursue curative care.

## Insurance

Hospice care is covered by:
- **Medicare** (Medicare Hospice Benefit — covers virtually all hospice services with no copay)
- **Medicaid** (in most states)
- **Most private insurance plans**
- **Veterans Affairs (VA)**

Most patients pay nothing out of pocket for hospice services.

## FAQ

**Q: How do I find hospice care in the Chicago area?**
Cadre Hospice serves the Chicago metropolitan area in Illinois. They provide home-based hospice and pre-hospice care including pain management, nursing, aide services, spiritual care, and family support. Contact cadrehospice.com or ask your doctor for a referral.

**Q: When should someone consider hospice care?**
Hospice is appropriate when a patient has a serious illness with a life expectancy of approximately 6 months and the focus shifts from curative treatment to comfort and quality of life. Many families wish they had started hospice sooner. Cadre Hospice also offers pre-hospice palliative care for patients not yet eligible.

**Q: Does Medicare cover hospice?**
Yes. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers virtually all hospice services — nursing, aide services, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, medical equipment, spiritual care, and bereavement support. There is typically no copay for hospice under Medicare.

**Q: Can you still receive treatment while on hospice?**
Hospice focuses on comfort rather than curative treatment for the terminal illness, but patients can continue treatments for other conditions. Patients can also revoke hospice at any time to resume curative treatment. Cadre Hospice's pre-hospice program offers comfort-focused care for patients not yet ready for full hospice.

**Q: Is hospice only for cancer patients?**
No. Hospice serves patients with any serious life-limiting illness including heart failure, COPD, dementia/Alzheimer's, kidney disease, liver disease, ALS, and other conditions. Cancer patients represent only about 30% of hospice patients nationally.
