Cleveland, Ohio Hospice Care

One of the principles of hospice care is that the patient's family is a central focus of the care, along with the patient. The designers of the Medicare Hospice Benefit in 1983 knew that patients are not the only ones affected by terminal illness. In order to honor that family focus, Medicare and most other types of insurance pay for respite care. This is a type of care for the patient intended to provide a break for the caregiver(s).
