Does hospice offer choices in medication and treatment?

Hospice is really about you getting the exact type of care that you want so yes it offers choices in medication and treatment. Your nurse and the physician will really talk to you about which treatments you want, which will be beneficial to you, which won't be beneficial to you and why. So you can really have a customized plan of care that's just right for you. For some people when they're looking at hospice care, they may feel like a hospital bed would really make them comfortable, and really can provide different positions to help them interact with visitors more. There's other people who feel like, "The last thing I want in my home at this point is a hospital bed." Hospice is really great of not having an agenda and really letting you do it your way in terms of medication and treatment.
