Hospice Questions and Answers We understand this is a difficult time, and we are here to help. We have Wings Over Texas Hospice Nurses on call 24/7 to answer any questions you may have. 817-774-9154 What is hospice? Hospice provides comfort and care. Hospice is a health care benefit for people with life-limiting illnesses. Hospice does not provide aggressive or curative care related to the life-limiting illness. It is provided in the individual’s place of residence by a team that consists of nurses, social workers, hospice aides, volunteers, spiritual, bereavement and dietary counselors and other therapists (physical, occupational and speech) as needed under the direction of a physician. If the person does not have a primary physician, the medical director of Wings Over Texas Hospice will fulfill that role. The goal of hospice care is to control pain and other symptoms, rather than to cure the person’s illness. Hospice provides support for the person who is ill as well as his or her loved ones. Home Who chooses the hospice provider? Choosing to go on hospice and who to use as a hospice provider are personal decisions. Many patients consult with family, and medical providers. Does hospice make death come sooner? No, hospice provides its presence and specialized knowledge during the dying process but does nothing to either speed up or slow down the dying process. What hospice services are covered under the Medicare Hospice Benefit?

Assisting with Ambulation and Transfers 3. Dressing 4. Assisting with elimination 5. Linen Change 6. Range of Motion 7. Delivering supplies 8. Light Meal Preparation for the patient 9. Light housekeeping pertaining to the patient Who is eligible for hospice? Anyone with a life-limiting or terminal diagnosis and a prognosis of 6 months or less. Patients may not pursue life-prolonging, or curative treatments on hospice. Does hospice continue after the patient dies? Yes, our bereavement program offers spiritual and emotional support to family members after the death of their loved one for 13 months. The amount of contact is determined by the needs and wishes of the patient’s family. What services are not covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit?

Awarded by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of CAHPS and bereavement survey programs for home health and hospice agencies. This prestigious annual review recognizes agencies that continuously caregiver experiences. It acknowledges the highest performing agencies by analyzing the performance of the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey satisfaction and quality measures. To be considered for the Hospice CAHPS Honors Award, the hospice agency must have scored above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on the Hospice CAHPS Willingness to Recommend question. If that criteria is met, performance is evaluated utilizing a set of 23 additional quality indicator measures. These scores are then compared on a question-byquestion basis to a national performance score calculated from all partnering hospices contained in HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS database. Special recognition, Honors Elite, is awarded to those hospices that score above the national performance score on 100%, or all twenty four, of the evaluated questions. Do I need special equipment if I receive hospice care at home? You may need special equipment. But you don't have to worry. You will have a case manager who will work with you upon admission to assess your needs and help with obtaining and necessary medical equipment. They will continue to reassess your needs throughout the continuum of care. Who pays for hospice? Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, VA, and private insurance for most plans. We will work with you to help get services covered. How do you create the plan of care? Wings Over Texas Hospice team develops an individualized plan of care, with your input. The plan of care is based upon admission information, identified problems, needs and goals, physician orders for medications, treatments and care, timeframes, your environment and your personal wishes whenever possible. Effective pain management and nutritional support are important parts of your treatment. The plan of care includes five basic areas: • Physical care • Psychosocial needs • Spiritual needs • Bereavement care • Personal care and comfort The plan is reviewed and updated as needed, based on your changing needs. All medical information will be provided to assist you in participating in your plan of care. You must seek preapproval from Wings Over Texas Hospice for all treatments and services not included in the hospice plan of care. Medication and treatments are ordered by and given under the general supervision of your attending physician. With you help, we will create an updated list of your medications on admission.

Call Now Understanding the 4 Levels of Hospice Care Routine Home Care Care provided at home by the family or other caregiver, assisted by the hospice staff. This is the most common level of hospice care. With this type of care, an individual has elected to receive hospice care at their residence, which can include a private residence, assisted living facility or nursing facility Respite Care Short-term care available to provide temporary relief to the patient’s primary caregiver. Respite care can be provided in a Medicare approved facility which is a hospital, hospice facility, or a long term care facility that has sufficient nursing personnel present twenty-four hours on all shifts to guarantee that patient’s needs are met. Respite care is provided for a maximum of 5 consecutive days. Care and services are established through a contractual agreement Continuous Home Care Care is provided between 8 and 24 hours a day to manage pain and other acute medical symptoms. The care provided must be predominately nursing care, supplemented with caregiver and hospice aide services. This level of care is intended to maintain the terminally ill patient at home during a pain or symptom crisis. Medicare reimburses this at an hourly rate General Inpatient Care Short-term care provided for pain control or other acute symptom management that cannot feasibly be provided in any other setting. Inpatient Care begins when other efforts to manage symptoms have been ineffective. Inpatient Care can be provided in a Medicare certified hospital, hospice inpatient facility, or nursing facility that has a RN available twenty-four hours a day to provide direct patient care.

Wings Over Texas Hospice is 1 of 5 in Texas a 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite, recognized by MatrixCare for excellence in patient and caregiver experiences. View the Winner List Wings Over Texas Hospice Named a 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Recipient A Recognition Rooted in the People We Serve Cleburne, Texas | August 14, 2026 Wings Over Texas Hospice is honored to be named a 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite recipient by MatrixCare, recognizing excellence in patient and caregiver experiences as measured through Hospice CAHPS satisfaction scores. For our team, this recognition is about much more than an award. It is about people. It is about every patient who has trusted us with their care, every family member who has welcomed us into their home, and every caregiver who has relied on our team during one of life's most difficult seasons. It is about the nurse who walks through the door when a family does not know what to do next. The aide who notices a small change that makes a big difference. The chaplain who knows when to speak and when simply to sit beside someone. The social worker who helps a family navigate an overwhelming moment. The volunteer or musician who brings a little joy into an otherwise difficult day. It is a team of real people caring for real people. And that is what makes this recognition so meaningful to Wings Over Texas Hospice. 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Recipient | 5-Star Medicare Rating | Texas-Owned & Locally Operated | 24/7 RN Support What the 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Award Means The Hospice CAHPS Honors program recognizes hospice agencies that demonstrate strong performance in the experiences of patients and caregivers. The program is based on results from the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey and recognizes hospice agencies that work with MatrixCare to administer their Hospice CAHPS surveys. For Wings Over Texas Hospice, the 2026 recognition is especially meaningful because Hospice Honors Elite is a special recognition reserved for hospices that score above the MatrixCare National Performance Score on all 22 evaluated questions. Hospice CAHPS Honors Hospice CAHPS Honors recognizes hospices that scored above the MatrixCare National Score on at least 17 of the 22 evaluated questions. Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Hospice Honors Elite recognizes hospices that scored above the MatrixCare National Performance Score on all 22 of the 22 evaluated questions. For Wings Over Texas Hospice, that means our performance exceeded the MatrixCare National Performance Score on all 22 evaluated quality indicators during the 2026 program's evaluation period. These numbers represent more than statistics. They represent the experiences of the patients, caregivers, and families who allowed our team into their lives. 22/22 Evaluated Quality Indicators Above the MatrixCare National Performance Score The Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite designation is reserved for hospice agencies whose performance exceeds the MatrixCare National Performance Score on all 22 evaluated questions. Wings Over Texas Hospice earned this Elite recognition based on performance across all 22 evaluated quality indicators. For us, every number represents a person. Every response represents a patient or caregiver experience. Every measure reminds us of the responsibility we have when a family invites us into their lives. How the Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Award Is Determined The 2026 Hospice CAHPS Honors program evaluated Hospice CAHPS survey results from **April 2025 through December 2025**, a three-quarter evaluation period aligned with the implementation of the revised CAHPS Hospice Survey. To qualify for recognition, a hospice agency was required to: Work with MatrixCare for Hospice CAHPS survey administration. Score above the MatrixCare National Score on the **Willingness to Recommend** question (Q31).* Have at least one completed survey returned in each of the three quarters of the evaluation period. MatrixCare then evaluated hospice performance across 22 quality indicator measures. Individual hospice performance scores were calculated using completed surveys from the evaluation period and compared question-by-question with the MatrixCare National Performance Score calculated from survey data from participating hospices in the MatrixCare Hospice CAHPS database. Honors vs. Honors Elite Hospice CAHPS Honors Recognizes hospices that scored above the MatrixCare National Score on at least 17 of the 22 evaluated questions Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite Recognizes hospices that scored above the MatrixCare National Performance Score on all 22 of the 22 evaluated questions That distinction is why the word "Elite" matters. A Recognition Rooted in the People We Serve Some awards recognize numbers. This one reminds us why the work matters. At Wings Over Texas Hospice, we believe hospice care is about much more than managing symptoms. It is about caring for the whole person and supporting the people who love them. It is about listening. It is about showing up. It is about answering the phone when a family is unsure what to do. It is about helping a patient remain comfortable and surrounded by the people, places, and memories that matter most. Our nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, and support team members each play a different role, but we share one responsibility: To treat every patient like we would treat our own family. That philosophy is at the heart of Wings Over Texas Hospice. Our goal has always been simple: Provide the very best hospice care possible. And our motto is the way we strive to do it: Serving Others with Honor and Kindness Explore our Services “This Is a Special Award!” “This is a special award!
