Yes, it’s possible to have hospice care and private home care at the same time. In fact, not only is it possible it’s ideal. Home care and hospice care address different aspects of a patient’s well-being; together they can improve the comfort and quality of life for individuals.
Hospice is a service provided for individuals with a life-limiting illness and life expectancy of 6 months or less. Generally speaking, hospice provides services to address physical symptoms, medication, supplies, and medical equipment related to a diagnosis.
Home care can supplement the hospice care visits by providing personalized assistance with activities of daily living, feeding, light housekeeping, companionship, and transportation. Although hospice care does cover bathing and grooming 2-3 times weekly, home care can cover these services on other days.
