Terminally ill patients receiving hospice care will generally experience a decline in their mobility, energy, and strength over time. At Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, when a patient experiences a noticeable decline, we activate our Watch Program to manage and monitor their symptoms.
The Medicare hospice benefit is designed to provide quality end-of-life care at no cost to Medicare beneficiaries or their families. Established in 1983, the Medicare hospice benefit provides patient-centered care for individuals with a terminal diagnosis with a prognosis of six months or less if their disease follows the typical path.
