What is the difference between home health care and hospice?

Hospice is a full, comprehensive system of care, which uses an interdisciplinary team approach. Visits by the professional staff (which may include RN, MSW, OT, PT) are made on an "as needed" basis. This conceivably could be as many as 1-3 nursing visits a day, 7 days a week, for as long as the patient lives!

The hospice social worker visits are on an "as needed" basis with no restrictions as to frequency or duration. Home aide services are available, as are the chaplain visits and volunteer support. And of course, bereavement support is available for more than a year following a patient's death.

Hospice is the only health care system mandated by law to provide volunteers and bereavement services in addition to professional services. In the care of Medicare/Medicaid patients, hospice is also required to provide all medications, supplies and durable medical equipment necessary to alleviate symptoms of the terminal illness. More.
