Testimonies
As a Certified Nurse Assistant for Hospice for many years I love that I’m awarded the ability to spend quality time caring for my patient. Ensuring we go above and beyond to make each day a better day for my patient and their families is important to myself and the rest of my team.
— Christina Medina, CNA
Being a Hospice nurse since 1992 has allowed me to be able to be apart of hundreds of patients and families’ journey through Hospice care. It has allowed me to watch so many families get the support they needed during a difficult time and knowing that I have been able to help those patient and family accept and find peace within their journey, by allowing me to hold their hand and let them know that they are all going to be okay has truly given me the greatest joy and experiences that I will truly never forget.
— Tracy Campbell, Registered Nurse

You may still be wondering…
How much do your services cost?
Hospice is a comprehensive care and support for terminally ill patients and their families that is covered by patients’ insurance. Patients with Medicare Part A can get hospice care benefits covered at 100% by hitting hospice criteria.
What services are covered with hospice care?
Services from a hospice- employed physician, nurse practitioner, nursing care, medical equipment, medical supplies, medications to manage pain and symptoms, hospice aides, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical social services, spiritual counseling, Individual and family grief or loss counseling before and after the passing of patients and respite care.
How does someone qualify for hospice?
Hospice companies must follow the Medicare guidelines and they define it as “Patients with a terminal illness with a medical prognosis of 6 months or less to live if the illness runs it normal course”. But Hospice is not limited to six months. Patients will undergo evaluations to determine whether they still qualify for hospice care and will extend their hospice care.
Can a person “go off” of hospice care after they start?
The answer is Yes, we call it graduating from Hospice. Hospice graduates are patients whose conditions have improved to the point where they no longer require hospice for the time being. There are a variety of reasons why a patient’s health may get better, from receiving the appropriate medication to maintaining a balanced diet that helps with their conditions.
Who does a hospice team include?
Your Ovation Hospice of Salt Lake team can consist of physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers, all working together to manage pain and symptoms, offer emotional support, provide spiritual guidance (if desired), and assist with practical matters, such as medication management and personal care.
What if I have other questions?
We are certain you do, and we’d love to answer them. Please schedule a call or a no-obligation, in-home visit to discuss!
