Devotion Hospice
Admission Process
Admitting a patient to the hospice program is a simple process for the attending physician, discharge planner or social worker.
Just call the hospice, and a nurse will visit the patient and family at home or in the hospital.
Information about the program will be presented, and if the patient or family elects the program, the nurse arranges for start of services.
All terminally ill patients are qualified for hospice care. The attending physician gives the certification of terminal illness.
