Find the Right Quick Admission Hospice Care

When Time Matters

Sometimes, families need hospice care to begin quickly—the same day or within 24 hours. This may be due to a sudden decline in condition, a crisis situation, or the need to transition from hospital to home quickly. Quick admission hospice providers have streamlined processes to begin care rapidly.

While all Medicare-certified hospices can provide timely admission, providers with quick admission programs have dedicated staff and processes to ensure care can begin as soon as possible when medically appropriate.

When Quick Admission is Needed

Quick admission may be appropriate when a patient's condition has declined rapidly, when transitioning from hospital to home, when symptoms need immediate management, or when families need support urgently. Providers with quick admission programs understand that sometimes waiting isn't an option, and they're prepared to respond quickly.
