Hospice Foundation of America

Hospice & Palliative · Iowa · Free

Education and resources for those facing end-of-life issues and grief. Useful when curative treatment is becoming harder than the disease — palliative care doesn't mean giving up. Medicare's hospice benefit covers nurse visits, medications, equipment, and 13 months of grief support for surviving family. Comfort care decisions are reversible — patients can leave and re-enter hospice as goals change. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
