What Is Hospice Negligence?
Hospice negligence occurs when a hospice care provider fails to meet the standard of care required under state or federal regulations, resulting in harm to the patient. Unlike hospitals or rehabilitation centers, hospice is meant to provide palliative—rather than curative—care. But this does not absolve providers from the duty to care responsibly and ethically.
Common examples of hospice negligence include:
- Uncontrolled pain or suffering due to failure to administer or monitor medications properly
- Failure to monitor patients leading to falls, bedsores, or infections
- Emotional or physical abuse from caregivers
- Neglect of basic hygiene or nutritional needs
- Improper staffing levels or poorly trained personnel
- Failure to inform families about changes in condition or treatment plans
