by Optimal Hospice Foundation
The Optimal Hospice Foundation Patient Care Funding program provides access to care via funding for patients/seniors who qualify for hospice care but who are uninsured, underinsured or whose coverage benefits have run out. Patient care includes skilled nursing care, certified home health aides, medications, medical equipment and supplies, medical social workers, bereavement support and education that promotes quality end-of life care. When the focus of medical care changes from cure to comfort, hospice can provide physical, emotional, practical and spiritual support for the entire family. Funding hospice care for those who qualify, but do not have funding can change the life of not only the patient but the family by allowing them to focus on what matters most - making every moment count.
