Referrals

Anyone can call Pennyroyal Hospice, Inc. any time they have questions about the possibility of hospice services for a loved one. Anyone can refer a patient to hospice, including family members, neighbors, friends or the actual patient. Most often, private physicians make patient referrals. 

Once referred to hospice, a patient consultation will be held. The consultation consists of a meeting with the patient to explain our services, determine hospice eligibility, and answering any questions the patient and the family may have about hospice care. A patient is only admitted to hospice after a physician makes the determination that the patient's prognosis is six months or less, and the patient and his family make the decision to accept hospice care. Once admitted, a plan of care is developed between the patient, the family and the attending physician.

For more information or to make a referral, please call our office at (270) 885-6428 or (888) 611-0121 toll free.
