Your doctor may feel that your condition is not yet appropriate for hospice. However it would be wise to request information about hospice before you need it, so that you can understand your options and access appropriate services when you want and need them. Feel free to raise the questions with your physician, who may appreciate that you have given the signal that this is a topic that you are willing to discuss. If you would like additional information, speak with a hospice staff member in your area.
