This study focuses on identifying the reasons to be considered when making decisions for families, considering the option of home hospice. The researchers further provide the benefits and drawbacks that family caregivers should expect when considering home hospice for their loved ones. The study concludes that family caregivers can cope with the anticipated difficulties with continuous support.
The article will assist me in understanding the different elements of characterizing home hospice. Even though patients acquire hope when taken care of by professionals in a hospital setting, the study will give me another perspective to consider when loved ones are involved in the care of their loved ones. Since the article was published in 2019, I will enable me to provide the most recent information in the field.

The researchers indicate that hospice care is primarily meant for individuals with a prognosis of a maximum of 6 months to live and be with their families. They focus on addressing the eligibility requirements, including the conditions to be met to participate in hospice care. To avoid possible Medicare fraud, the researchers suggest that face-to-face (FTF) recertification is essential.
The study introduces a new perspective on my research. It recognizes the idea that Medicare fraud is a common occurrence, and preventing this type of fraud is essential. The unique angle introduced by this study will widen the scope of my paper in terms of identifying the conditions needed to participate in hospice.

The primary objective of the researchers is to understand the elements that influence families to make decisions regarding hospice care. The researchers used the qualitative method through focus group discussions to achieve this objective. The study concludes that the understanding of patients and their families can be heightened to ensure they derive benefits associated with hospice care.
This study will be beneficial to my research because it will provide essential information highlighting the need for hospice. It will also contribute to my research because it contains information about what people think about hospice. The study will be relevant to my study because it is current, as it was published in 2019.

The researchers were interested in identifying the processes that family members use to facilitate and determine the most appropriate hospice agencies for their loved ones. The authors conduct a qualitative study by analyzing the interventions that could solve issues encountered by family members. The study concludes that family members should consider the track record of a hospice agency when in need of hospice care.
The study will help in my research as it provides different elements to consider when choosing the most suitable hospice facility for their loved ones. Conversely, it will provide me with information regarding the benefits and the drawbacks associated with hospice care in a facility. Given that the article was published in the year 2019, the data is current and relevant to my study.
