Facility Referrals

How facility teams can prepare a hospice referral

When to call

A resident has a life-limiting illness and comfort-focused care may be appropriate.
Symptoms, functional decline, or care needs are becoming harder to manage.
The resident, family, and facility team need guidance before a change in the care plan.

Information to prepare

The resident’s current diagnosis, physician contact, and a summary of recent changes.
Available clinical notes, medication information, and the family or decision-maker’s contact details.
The resident’s current care setting and the best facility contact for coordination.

Coordinate responsibilities

Facility responsibilities include its services, staffing, policies, and resident support.
Hospice responsibilities include the hospice plan of care and services coordinated with the resident, family, physician, and facility team.
Both teams clarify contacts, changes to report, and how the care plan will be communicated.

Use secure referral steps
