Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
  • Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.
You can check any facility's record free. Call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858 for any Texas facility's complaint and inspection history. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated -- only nursing homes are. Read the full explanation →

    Questions families ask

    What should a Fort Worth family do in the first month after a dementia diagnosis?

    Slow down -- very little needs to be decided immediately. Get the specific diagnosis clarified (Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia all progress and respond to treatment differently), and complete legal paperwork like power of attorney while capacity is still clear.

    What should I do if my parent is showing signs of wandering or exit-seeking?

    Recognize that exit-seeking converts a general supervision problem into an active safety one, and take practical steps immediately -- door alarms, secured exits, and enrollment in a wandering-response program -- while you evaluate whether a secured memory care setting is now needed.

    I'm a long-distance caregiver for a parent in Fort Worth. What should I set up first?

    Build a plan that survives a bad week -- one where you can't get on a plane and nobody can safely drive to check in person. Recruit local eyes (a Meals on Wheels driver, a neighbor, a geriatric care manager), and get medical power of attorney and HIPAA authorizations in place early so you can actually get information when you need it.
