Referring someone to hospice care is an important step toward ensuring they receive comfort-focused support that aligns with their healthcare goals. At Lumiere Crest Hospice, we work closely with the referring party, the attending physician, the patient, and their family to coordinate a timely evaluation and determine whether hospice care is appropriate.
Who Can Submit a Referral?
Hospice referrals can come from a variety of trusted sources, and a physician’s referral is not always required to begin the conversation. If hospice care may be appropriate, our team can help guide the next steps.
- Primary Care Physicians
- Healthcare Professionals
- Hospitals & Care Facilities
- Patients & Families
- Community Partners
What Happens After a Referral?
Every referral is carefully reviewed to help determine the most appropriate next steps. Our team communicates with the patient, family, and attending physician to coordinate an evaluation and answer questions about hospice eligibility and the admission process.
