If you are planning for either home health or hospice care, you may want to find out more about services that are covered by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal Health Insurance Program for people who are age 65 or older, people under 65 with certain disabilities or people of any age who have end-stage renal disease. Medicare has two parts: Medicare Part A – Hospital Insurance and Medicare Part B – Medical Insurance.

For many individuals, a hospice can be a hard choice to face. This is end of life care and can be tough to accept for the patient and the family, but it can be a fine decision. This is only an option for terminally ill people and those that are in the process of dying.
