The frequency of hospice care visits depends on the patient’s and their family’s needs. Typically, hospice care teams will visit the patient several times a week, but this can vary depending on the individual situation. Hospice care teams may also be available to provide support and assistance by phone or email, depending on the policies of the hospice organization. The goal of hospice care is to provide care and support to the patient and their family as needed while respecting their wishes and preferences for care.
