Hospice and other third-party providers are the essential link that helps
residents remain—and eventually die,
depending on personal preference
and state regulations—at home.
When establishing relationships
with hospice and other third parties,
carefully fine-tune contracts, set
expectations on both sides, and
discuss documentation procedures.
The formation of ACOs presents an
opportunity for senior living providers
to develop more formal relationships
with hospitals.
